A chaotic day now that all reports are in! Four reserve rides
including Nick Greece, who flayed his glider through the trees and punctured
himself in the process. Nothing too serious I believe (just a small thing
really).
Already there have been more reserve rides in this event than in
all the previous superfinals. Is Valle really that rough? It seems unlikely
given conditions in Turkey and even Italy (Norma anyone?).
I wonder whether the CIVL bureaucrats are watching and have noticed the adverse
effect their decision to ban Open Class has had on safety for these absolute top
level pilots. How much worse is it going to be when normal pilots are flying
these serial class 2-liners.
