What an amazing day of racing. The pilots flew fast and together
to the Dachstein turnpoint, but then the strategic options opened up. With the
positions so close, and the pure energy of the race, the athletes would have
been feeling the pressure at every moment.

Local athlete Paul Guschlbauer told us, “I’ve never been that high above the
Dachstein before!” It’s a far cry from the 2011 race which saw athletes battle
through storms up the via ferrata to summit the turnpoint. From there, it was an
epic race north and west.

Gruber, Maurer, Guschlbauer, Mayer and McClurg flew the direct line flawlessly,
adapting well to perfect flying conditions and putting the gas pedal down all
the way, and timing it perfectly to fly off the Aschau turnpoint.
