All pilots are safely landed, with 7 in goal. Franz Pacheiner
(SUI) arrived at the goal cylinder first on his Archeopteryx, followed closely
by Manfred Ruhmer (AUT) and Jacques Bott (FRA).

The live tracking showed that Franz took a slightly different route to the two
leading Swift pilots, which clearly paid off. Franz explained: “It was hard to
start due to the conditions, but then it got very good. I saw the good clouds, I
was high and so I took the direct route.”

Local pilot, Jacques said: “It was a good task, and the weather conditions were
as forecast. I arrived at the second turnpoint a little early, and it was still
in shade. Half an hour later it was in sunshine and was working really well.”

The results will be out shortly, but of course, this is a Practice Task, so they
don’t get counted!
