Smashing results on Melun (310km) and Argenton (555km)

Today was a beautiful racing day with strong headwinds from start to end. The average speeds were between 1,150 and 1,200 m/min. These circumstances are perfect for our birds to show their qualities. We sent our youngsters to the middle distance race Melun (310km) and a part of our old birds to the national Argenton (555km) race.

The results were outstanding. We split our young birds in two different teams and entered them in two different federations. In both federations the result was really exceptional.

On Argenton we started with another national top ten position. It was the last race of the season for these old birds. Until today they were raced on widowhood system.

 

This is really a racing season 2022 ‘Grand Cru’ for us. My father and I are really proud of our birds. They have been so dominant in such a tough racing season.
