National top positions on hard Montlucon race

We had no less than 3 races past weekend. In this article we will discuss the national Montlucon (555km) race. It was again a tough race. The birds had to stay in the basket during 3 nights.

We entered 9 old birds and 15 yearlings on this national Montlucon (555km) race. These were all hens. Due to the bad weather on Saturday, the birds stayed in the basket one day longer than planned. They were finally released on Sunday morning. It was a tough race. The wind was alternately blowing on the side and head.  The fastest birds on the national level did not reach the velocity of 1,250 mpm. 

Our birds flew again some great results! We have 2 yearlings in the national top 50 against 10,753 birds and 2 old birds in the national top 70 against 9,462 birds!

Our pigeons won the following results:
