Again another incremental (20 km) increase in the task length from the preceding day. 55 pilots in goal with Mario Alonzi last into goal at 5:47 over two hours later than Christian.. Christian and Alex were on final glide with Christian higher and going faster when Alex stopped to work some lift thinking perhaps that he wasn't going to make it after all.
Pedro 6th, with pilots clumped together. Petr Polach was out in front but had to find some lift in the last cylinder to be able to make it in fourth ten minutes behind Christian.

Christian Ciech's Penalties on Task 3
Just short of goal
(Val di Ranco, Monte Cucco, PG, Italy)
Christian Ciech|Davide Guiducci|Filippo Oppici|Marco Laurenzi|Monte Cucco Piero Alberini International Trophy 2021|Moyes Litespeed RX|PG|Tullio Gervasoni|Wills Wing T3
I wondered in the last Oz Report why Christian got fewer time and arrival points than pilots who were slower than he was. Turns out if I had looked more closely I would have seen that he made the end of the speed section but just came up 90 meters short of the goal cylinder. His points were docked 20%.
Paraglider scoring takes away all your time points if you don't make it to the goal cylinder and there are no arrival position points.

Fastest Competition Speed?
Task 3 at the Monte Cucco Piero Alberini International Trophy 2021
(Val di Ranco, Monte Cucco, PG, Italy)
Filippo Oppici|Marco Laurenzi|Monte Cucco Piero Alberini International Trophy 2021|Steven "Steve" Pearson|triangle
The task:
No | Leg Dist. | Radius |
---|---|---|
1 | 0.0 km | 400 m |
2 Ss | 2.3 km | 15000 m |
3 | 36.8 km | 5000 m |
4 | 56.8 km | 3000 m |
5 | 91.4 km | 5000 m |
6 | 113.3 km | 2000 m |
7 Es | 119.4 km | 1000 m |
8 | 120.0 km | 400 m |
The task is almost an out and return from the start of the speed section (SS) to the end of the speed section (ES). The leg distances shown in the chart above are the optimized distances, those displayed on the map.
Three pilots had average task speeds of over 59 km/h (36.7 mph) in the speed section.
# | Name | Speed (km/h) |
---|---|---|
1 | Filippo Oppici | 59.4 |
2 | Marco Laurenzi | 59.2 |
4 | David Gregoire | 59.1 |
The optimized task distance between the SS and the ES is 116.939 km.
Steve Pearson asks the question, is this the highest task speed attained in a competition in Europe for a triangle or out and return task over 100 km?

Greet the Alps that yesterday served as the backdrop for the “infinite” flight of the protagonists of the XXII edition of the Hang Gliding World Championships, the ninth task returned completely to Italy, with a length of 95.5 km to travel from Monte Valinis to Bordon.
The race direction opted for a flight day in the south-western area of Friuli Venezia Giulia, with buoys in Montereale Valcellina, Malnisio and Pian del Cansiglio before the long return to Bordano, anticipated by the last turning point near Buja.
The pilots were able to follow - at least in the initial phase - a line on the mountain ridges, which allowed quite high speeds at the expense of not too generous quotas (in general it flew at 5-600m, much lower than yesterday due to the lack of good thermals).
The first to cross the buoy near Montereale were the Swiss Peter Neuenschwander (author of a very interesting World Championship so far and currently sixth in the individual classification with 5807 points), Franz Hermann and Zac Majors (also yesterday brought to light in the initial phases), however, having to stop before the Piancavallo to take altitude, finding one of the best thermals of the day of about 4m/s.
Ruhmer, the Canadian Smith and also our young Laurenzi, then carried on trying to escape to the Pian del Cansiglio, deviating on the fastest trajectory over the plain, gaining about 3km on the pursuers but having then to make height and consequently re-enter on the own steps. The group formed by the Italians Ciech, Ploner, Oppici, the Brazilians Sandoli and Pinto, Neuenschwander and Ruhmer, managed to climb up to 500m, finding a good current above Castello di Aviano, with Laurenzi having to beaten but managing to recover soon afterwards and turning the buoy near the Piancavallo in the first positions at a reasonable speed.
In the long return to Buja, the competitors have in fact alternated the plain with the mountain, to find the right compromise that would guarantee them adequate speed and altitude without losing too much time. Meanwhile, yesterday's splendid winner Eduardo Oliveira was reported in difficulty, perhaps tried by the fatigues of task 8, which required considerable energy expenditure for all; even worse it went to the Italian Selenati, who played it all for opting for the second start, pulling as much as he could, but unfortunately landing beforehand: a praise, however, due to his resourcefulness.
In the vicinity of Meduno, Ruhmer and Laurenzi have chosen two slightly different trajectories but for both of them the first real moment of difficulty occurred in this world, desperately forced to look for altitude above Clauzzetto. Ruhmer managed to climb the 600m while Laurenzi, after having seriously risked landing outside the goal, entered an appreciable thermal. It went better to the pursuer group formed by Ciech, Kato, Ploner, Pinto, Velez and Oppici, who over Travesio, opting for a line on the ridges, have reached a safety altitude of about 1000m of altitude guaranteeing the possibility of flying calmly until next turning point and then aim directly at landing.
The turning point came a few kilometers later: while most of the pilots, once they gained altitude, deviated towards the south, Neuenschwander and Gricar preferred to continue turning a thermal, which led them to lengthen the route a bit, but allowing them to launch later a few minutes at crazy speed towards Buja's last buoy. On the way to Bordano, a few kilometers away as the crow flies, Ruhmer (who in the meantime had taken the reins of the "paying" group but about 200m above sea level against the Swiss-Austrian duo) was overtaken at more than 80km/h from Gricar, who has thus flown in goal by touching the ground of the landing field first, anticipating the same Ruhmer and Neuenschwander. "Tactical" day for Italy, with Ploner and Ciech respectively sixteenth and seventeenth: waiting for the publication of the official rankings, we will have to watch our back in the last task from Gricar, Alonzi, Crossingham and Neunschwander (these last four fighting for at least for the last step of the podium). Instead, the situation in the team standings should be calmer, where our Azzurri had 1922 points ahead of Brazil and 2326 of Germany ahead of today's task, now winner with Gricar and fifth with Woehrle. Here too the battle for third place is on, with Germany at 16828 points, Japan at 16447 points and Austria at 16387 points, obviously after this task.

Goal field at the Hang Gliding World Championships in northern Italy. I'm feeling tired after 5 hours flying and a 201km flight to goal. This probably ranks as one of my most memorable flights in 30 years of flying hang gliders. The mountains we flew over today are absolutely stunning. I had my doubts about coming here but I was so wrong.
Matjaz Klemencic writes:
Big task was called today at 200 km taking us from Cercivento north to Austria, over Greifenburg, then to Sillian and back to a bit further from Hermagor. I got to the takeoff where at briefing I noticed my Oudie didn't charge yesterday. I must have mistakenly put the cable in and it was 50% battery was ready for 200km. I managed to charge it a bit with power bank from Evan, thank you so much for that.
Since I was running around making this all happen I somehow managed to make a bigger start cylinder which put me back already at start. I flew quite good after and was with Manfred and rest of the gang after Greifenburg. Here the decision of the day was made as we flew over the valley into shitty area with slow speed and horrifying place to fly over so low. I lost the group and had scratched the ridge to get to the Sillian turnpoint.
Then I flew back to Lienz where I got to 3000m and the direct line was tempting again. I crossed the ridge at about 20 m and found out the landing areas are quite further out then expected. Quite some struggle but I made it out of the trap and went ridge racing towards Hermagor. I was too happy with the nice lift on the way and flew to easily only to find that last part is in complete shade and without any lift. I decked in at about 10k short.
Pilots took other lines that were far better today so I am once again not really happy with my performance. Every day I start good, fly a part with good gaggle but somehow I lose the tempo and get myself somewhere in some shitty place. At least I got my wing to climb well today finally, did some strange settings on my wing with turning things the opposite way it should be. Cost me quite some climbing during the race. Now resting time as tomorrow is yet another task.

Eduardo, Grant and Primoz got way ahead of everyone else. Manfred landed out, or so the scoring says so. U have him landing at goal. Maybe he missed a turnpoint?
"When the going gets tough the tough begin to play." In the aftermath of the extraordinary feat of the Italian Alex Ploner, who in fact dominated task 7 with a masterpiece of wit and tactical wisdom seasoned with a clear knowledge of the Friulian skies, the race direction opted for a task not only incredibly long (well over 200km) but even with a landing outside the Italian borders, in neighboring Austria. The dress rehearsals had already been staged a few days ago, with the turning point of task 4 - won from the Alto Cassino di San Cassiano - in the area of Caporetto, in Slovenia. The pilots unanimously asked to be able to engage in even more demanding flights and, once the weather allowed safety on all fronts, they were satisfied with a real mission to the limit of the impossible.
Before moving on to the story of the day, one can not but spend words of praise for Flyve, AeroClub Italia and AeroClub Lega Piloti, who with so many efforts have succeeded in giving to protagonists and enthusiasts something never experienced before even in the maximum expression of this sport , or the world championship competition. Absolute novelty also that concerning the take-off: the nearly 120 remaining in the race have "tasted" today another characteristic mountain of Carnia and precisely the Monte Crostis, Valsecca, in the municipality of Ravascletto, taking flight already from a very high altitude at 1900m . Another wonderful place from which they were able to admire a breathtaking panorama, an appetizer of an epic challenge that surely wrote a page about the history of hang gliding.
The Czech Dan Vyhnalik was among the first to come out in the direction of the first mark; the Dutch Tanzer together with the American Zac Majors, opted instead for a different trajectory. Selenati, after about twenty minutes of the race, took the reins of the flight with speeds that reached almost 90km/h and over, taking advantage of the positive effects of the mountain ranges of the district, trying to imitate yesterday's exploits of compatriot Ploner.
The Colombian Daniel Velez together with the Czech Peter Polach (who delighted the public during the daily live broadcast with live images from his hang glider), closed the gap in a short time, as Selenati was forced to stop to gain overtaken share from the big group positioned higher than him. Having left to make the difference and seek redemption, the strong Friulian had to surrender after a few kilometers, landing unfortunately out of goal. At the turning point in the area of Emberg, where practically everyone arrived following the optimized line, the first to turn was the Swiss Neuenschwander, followed by the Japanese Nagusa, Velez, Smith, Polach and also by our Christian Ciech, second in general individual at 168 points from compatriot Ploner.
Another Japanese person came to light shortly after and we talk about Minoru Kato: taking advantage of one of the classic flying styles of gliders called in technical jargon "a dolphin" (which allows not having to search for thermals flying in fact directed towards the goal at variable speed), was the first to gain the third buoy, followed by Polach, Klemencic, Gricar, Ruhmer, Ploner and the young but enterprising Manuel Revelli, later forced to abandon hostilities even before so many others, a clear sign of the great difficulties today. On the long journey to the cylinder including the area of Sillian, a municipality in the Upper Val Pusteria in East Tyrol, the group fragmented and Neuenschwander also opted for a very different line than the head line which instead preferred the trajectory more short.
Ciech, Ruhmer, Klemencic, Ploner, Oppici and the German Gerd Doenhuber composed the head of the race, advancing more than 90 km/h along the crest of the mountains. The Swiss, with great intuition, has accumulated more than 1000m of difference compared to the others, flying sent to over 105km/h and soon rejoining at the head of the race. As happened to Revelli, in the vicinity of this buoy even the strong Brazilian Glauco Pinto had to land, as did Selenati (see above) and Tanzer who had to say goodbye practically at the same time to dreams of glory.
Meanwhile, the splendid day allowed Markel Neiderman of Sweden to reach 4049m of altitude on his Combat GT, practically a record in this World Championship. A few dozen kilometers from the finish, the head of the race - who chose the optimized trajectory - was formed by the Japanese Kato and among others by the Brazilian Oliveira, by the English Crossingham, by the Germans Woehrle and Gricar, by the French Pollet and Alonzi and from our Oppici and Ploner.
Before the final sprint, at Hermagor (minus 25km on arrival), Gricar and Oliviera opted for full altitude (with thermals of even 6m/s); Minoru Kato together with Pollet, authors of a superlative performance up to that point, instead found themselves in great difficulty losing altitude and for the Japanese there was nothing to do but land before their due, when there was very little to the goal. The Brazilian has thus concluded in first goal after more than four hours of flight (entirely covered by the live broadcast on the official FB page), followed by Crossingham and Gricar. First of the Italians in goal Ploner (fifth) followed by Oppici: Brazil plays the charge and warns our National team, called to defend the 1825 points that separated it from the South Americans at the end of yesterday's task. There will be fun and the last two days of competition (we remind you that from tomorrow to tomorrow the final day of rest will take place and for this reason we invite you to follow the updates on the official FB page) will announce themselves not suitable for the faint of heart.

Alex hung with Christian and Manfred but always 1000' or so higher as they approached the second to last turnpoint. When the three of them out in front of all the other pilots headed toward goal (and the last little turnpoint) Christian was a bit too low as was Manfred. Alex with his extra altitude just kept going and was able to get there three to 1 minutes earlier. Extra altitude helps.
Start from Mount Cuarnan and after a few kilometers, all the pilots have opted for the full altitude on the nearby and well-known Chiampon, an area that usually always gives very good thermals.
At the "ready to go" Peter Polach (Czech Republic), Mario Alonzi (Brazil), Daniel Velez (Colombia), Yuji Suzuki (Japan) and an Australian athlete, at important speeds already over 80 km/h. Selenati, as has often happened in these days from deep knowledge of the Friulian skies, has almost immediately set a different trajectory, followed also by other pilots.
Proceeding towards the first two buoys located in the area of Treppo Carnico and in that of Rigolato, a group including the Polish Przezdziak has managed to gain altitude, seizing a thermal with values higher than 7m/s able to lead them to almost 2800m of quote.
At the first turn point Arne Tanzer (the Dutch fort once again came to light) showed up; behind him, among others, Daniel Velez, John Smith (New Zealand), Galovec, Peternel and Klemencic for Slovenia and Gervasoni for Italy. Velez was able to immediately dig a discreet groove, taking the reins of the task in the direction of Rigolato, also flying over the "Kaiser" or the Monte Zoncolan, climbed yesterday by many indomitable cyclists participating in the Gran Fondo "Carnia Classic Fuji - Zoncolan".
In a real alpine flight, most of the pilots immediately understood how fundamental it was to continue to gain altitude: to confirm this, before flying over the Fella, several stopped to look for "breath" and at the top of the race the Austrian Ruhmer is brought along with Alonzi and Velez, with Ploner to lead the blue patrol.
In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, at Gemona, most have abandoned the shorter trajectory above the plain, thus flying over the Regional Natural Park of the Julian Prealps, following the ridge that develops for about 50km and that in favorable weather conditions such as those of today, allowed everyone to maintain a safety quota up to the cylinder placed near Slovenia. However, some of the men of the standings have tried to follow the low profile: among them the Slovenian Matjaz Klemencic, the Czech Peter Polach and the Polish Przezdziak, making it very difficult to continue.
In the skies between Nimis and Attimis, while some pilots were forced to land out of goal considering the very selective task (including Przezdziak himself), Italy took command of the flight thanks to Ciech and Ploner. The meteorological situation was fully captured by the leading group, which turned the last buoy a little further away than the optimized line but with stronger thermal guarantees and greater altitude. On the way back to Bordano, when there were only 20km to go, Ploner managed to get Ruhmer and Ciech off the ground by scoring first with a spectacular tack that sent shivers down the ground. Only the Austrian, detached by about 4 'resisted, because from the third onwards the detachments became heavy beyond 10', demonstrating the superlative task carried out by the South Tyrolean. Another Italian, Filippo Oppici, completed the podium with an excellent performance and the German Primoz Gricar came fourth, with Ciech delayed by the lack of "fuel" on the most beautiful but author of a splendid fifth place.

The task:
But most pilots used the hills to find lift then scoot across the flats and back to the hills, showing that the "optimized" course is not necessarily the best course.

John Simon took the second clock twenty five minutes after the 1:45 PM clock. He was 21st into goal.
Nene and Georg Schweier landed in the river bed just outside the goal cylinder getting within 90 and 40 meters respectively. They both made the end of speed section. Their distance points were very slightly less than those who made goal, but their speed points were reduced by 20 percent.
After the grueling day yesterday (much appreciated by all the pilots also for the encroachment in Slovenia that gave them unique scenarios), today's task has developed from the Valinis mountain to the by now tested Bordano landing, with a covered length of almost 100km, practically all on the plain.
Three buoys are planned, with a sort of "zig zag": after taking off from Valinis, the pilots headed towards the area between Povoletto and Cividale del Friuli (a very large cylinder) and then headed towards Rivoli di Osoppo, Tarcento and finally return to Bordano at the landing field.
The start of today's task has been of fundamental importance since it causes a very different weather situation from yesterday (damp air in the lower layers has led to a reduction in the cumulative base altitude of 1500-1700m against even 2300m yesterday, not allowing pilots to develop immediately a lot of altitude as pointed out by Damiano Zanocco weather manager), the pilots immediately had to choose between the way of the plain (faster but very risky today) and the one that skirted the hills (longer but more likely to find thermal).
A group of about ten pilots opted for the "low street", but the choice was rather risky because after a few kilometers more than someone, including the New Zealander Matthew Barlow, they were forced to land early in the Buja area. The most correct intuition turned out to be that of the group of the best in the standings, with - among others - the Austrian Ruhmer (yesterday penalized for an early start), the Italians Ploner, Laurenzi and Ciech, the Slovenian Klemencic, who proceeded towards the first target at about 1000m altitude with a speed of 55 km/h. Among them were the two Japanese Tanaka and Sunama and the Brazilian top pilot Glauco Pinto, who went on to form the leading group together with the German Woehrle and Ruhmer himself.
In the return to Rivoli di Osoppo, the Dutchman Arne Tanzer, who in a previous task had given a hard time to his opponents, who has opted to fly over the flat area not without risks, forced to stop before reach the second buoy in a desperate search for altitude to continue his adventure. Even the Italian Suan Selenati chose this strategy, managing to maintain an altitude of 500m but still struggling to find altitude.
Pinto, Woehrle and Selenati have won it by turning around the second turn with the best time and continuing the race, or rather the flight, towards Tarcento after about an hour and forty minutes.
In fact, a situation has emerged with three groups: the one farther north that managed to make a great deal, the central one that touched the second mark in the first position and the one further south, which instead took longer to tack towards the last turn point. On the way to Tarcento, once it has gained enough altitude, the small group of Ciech, Ruhmer, Tanzer and Laurenzi veered towards the route chosen by Pinto, Woehrle and Selenati, in the hope of being able to proceed without the last obstacle. Further stops towards Bordano. Between Artegna and Magnano many pilots have benefited from the so-called "service pump", that is a very strong thermal that usually develops in these areas and that allowed the Colombian Daniel Velez to take the lead allatask towards the final part of the race, followed by Tanzer and the Italian Marco Laurenzi, once again among the leaders albeit at his second experience in a world championship, a high hopeful driver for our national team. The Austrian Ruhmer, the Italian Ploner, the Germans Gricar and Doenhuber and the same Laurenzi have embarked on a thrilling pursuit of Velez, with Ruhmer who hired a great duel with the Colombian at around 15km from the finish overtaking and counter-passing, managing to win and quickly gaining precious seconds.
The most beautiful surprise for the public was the group that presented itself above Bordano fighting for the success of the day, made up of more than ten hang gliders that at speeds greater than 100 km/h gave great excitement to the fans: the Dutch Tanzer and the Italians Laurenzi and Ploner were the first three pilots to touch the ground, under the watchful eyes of the team leader Flavio Tebaldi who thus demonstrated, once again if there was any need, the great technical skills capable of getting the off to the Azzurri in the various rankings.

Tolmezzo, 19th July 2019
In the longest task of this world championship to date, Italy is still a team to beat. Great is the Brazilian Pinto who redeems the landing out of the third day.
After the stop imposed yesterday due to adverse weather that has actually anticipated the rest day (required by regulation after six consecutive tasks), the XXII World Championship of hang-gliding organized among others by Flyve, Aec Lega Piloti and AeroClub Italia is resumed today with the fourth task, which in the usual morning briefing saw the change of take-off location on Mount Cuarnan near Gemona del Friuli. For the landing instead, once again the Bordano airfield was confirmed, one of the many countries (together with Gemona of course) that on the evening of 6 May 1976 it was razed to the ground by the terrible earthquake, but like all Friuli knew be reborn in a short time and leave again.
Today's task was very demanding, at the moment the longest of the World Championship with almost 143km to go all in one go, with Italy called to defend first place in the team general with 8503 points (according to Brazil with 7746 and third Germany with 7367), as well as the individual where in the order Ploner, Ciech, Selenati and Laurenzi find themselves in the top five positions with a single “intruder” the never-Austrian Austrian Ruhmer, ninth in the FAI ranking and holder of ten world titles.
After the splendid departure from Cuarnan (admired by many people with the "upturned nose" from Gemona del Friuli), the first buoy a few kilometers away was that of Artegna, where our Ciech passed first and left behind the Slovenian Franc Peternel, the compatriot Ploner (second in the flight of debut and in that of the day before yesterday) and two other insidious pilots, like the German Gricar (winner of the second task) and the Swiss Neuenschwander (second Tuesday). The hang gliders continued to the turn point in Slovenia, near Kobarid: for the first time in the history of the World Championships, the race was partially carried out in a different state than the host one, surely due to the organization which it was well spent in order to reach this historic goal.
Polach (Czech Republic), Smith (New Zealand), Majors (USA) and another group managed to find an important thermal just a few kilometers from the turn point across the border; Cantesanu, the only Romanian in the race, has lost altitude instead by landing off goal. Behind this group, the excellent Italian (and Friulian) Suan Selenati quickly arrived; the choice of the group was instead to follow the mountain slope, a fitting decision because in a short time they were re-attached to the fugitives at an altitude of about 2000m of height and over 70km/h of speed.
In the return to Trasaghis, where the third buoy was placed, the leading trio was composed of Gricar, Ciech and Ploner, with Pinto, Ruhmer and Neuenschwander (very fast in the stretch in question) to chase. Most of the group even in this phase, preferred to follow the profile of the mountain, which guaranteed their quotas and speeds always worthy of respect.
Ruhmer first touched the third turn point; unlike the stretch carried out up to that moment along the mountain (continuous line with very high average speed), the path towards the last buoy located at 9km from Cividale del Friuli, flying over a hilly area, required an important mental strategy, where fundamental it was the evaluation of the lines: the development of the heaps and also the flight of the birds, were important references - as underlined by the "meteoman" Damiano Zanocco - transforming the competitive challenge into a real chess game.
Ruhmer continued taking altitude following a line able to make him bypass the plain, flying east and also Ciech, Ploner and Gricar, along with the Brazilian Pinto, opted for this choice. Neuenschwander instead chose the trajectory from Cuarnan (today's take-off site) towards the south, about 3 km from the other pilots, climbing well but not quickly and soon being overtaken by the first group just mentioned that in the meantime had reached almost more than 2000m.
Ciech, Ruhmer and Ploner once again composed the leading group flying at 2200m at about 85km/h "at full throttle" towards Cividale; in the Nimis area they found a thermal with good values (more than 4m/s) and took advantage of the full altitude. In the equally fast return to Bordano, Alex Ploner - thanks to a wonderful tactical choice that guaranteed him a stable speed towards landing more than 70 km/h without ever having to stop to resume altitude - he managed to take a good margin of advantage over Ciech and Ruhmer scoring first with a time of 02.45.46 anticipating the Austrian and his teammate, thus putting another important seal on both the individual journey and the Azzurri towards the final goal.

Thursday, July 18, 2019 - rest day The weather forecast is against a flight day, so the day was already canceled on Wednesday evening!
Wednesday, July 17, 2019 - 3rd passage - 76 km with destination Bordano
Kajo reports: Flying is the best medicine This morning, no cock woke me, but my back pain. Damn, and I was hoping they would go away overnight. As the youngest member of the team, I feel very old now. But thanks to the loving care of Anna and Regina and with the support of various tablets, it has at least a little better.
Today the organizers wanted to see us on the mountain even earlier. After a surprisingly uneventful, already boring ride, we arrived more than punctual at the start. After the comfortable building a few umbrellas lulled low over the start. Well that did not look so outstanding. And why did we leave earlier? Over time, the conditions improved and it was a small 78 km task tender. You could either fly on direct route through the lowlands or took the detour via the supposedly faster mountains. Like almost everyone else, I opted for the direct route. The day got better with time and we were able to finish quickly.
After Primoz and Roland I came as the third German pilot to the finish and was thus able to make my contribution to the team ranking. To the delight of our driver, a short time later, the other three arrived. Every minute, almost 100 pilots flew to the finish and provided plenty of exciting landing approaches. Fortunately, the Landewiese is so big that you always find a gap between the other dragons.
Much to my relief, my back was much better after the flight. The mix of adrenaline and happiness hormones has probably worked wonders. At dinner (the Uli has conjured a delicious curry) we learn that tomorrow will not be flown. It is bad weather approaching and the organizers canceled the day tomorrow. So let's end the day with a glass of wine quite comfortably and make plans for our first rest day. Greetings from Tolmezzo Kajo.
All pilots are in the air. The time has been running since 14:15. We are just on a cappuccino to look at the live tracking, then go full throttle into the finish to Bordano. Yes, the distances to the starting place and back to the finish are not without!
Exciting finish: Alex Ploner ahead of Manfred Ruhmer and Marco Laurenzi. From us Primoz, Roland, Kajo, Jörg, Semo and Gerd are (in this order) in the finish. Today we were not among the fastest, but we'll see what's on the bottom of the list. Regina.
Tuesday, July 16, 2019 - Primoz wins the day's victory
Primoz reports: After the first task, I was not completely satisfied with my performance. It was clear, more determination was needed. Task 2 has brought better weather, base up to 2200m and good climbs. The route went back and forth along the hills, with a jump to the north and the goal in Bordano near Gemona.
My start this time was with the first group, although not the highest - homework !! With sparkling decisions, faster gliding and a little luck, I was able to gradually settle from the main pulp, but finally after the Gemona valley crossing. From there we had the lead with Christian. The turnaround behind Tolmezzo has proven to be quite complicated. But Christian seemed to know what he was doing, and in fact we were able to dig ourselves out of the vegetables. In addition, there was the Peter and has shown a great trail back. Straight to the lee of a rocky mountain.
The expected rodeo arrived, which I had survived best and was able to turn up with Peter. Christian stayed a bit deeper while searching for the thermals. At the penultimate turn, 15 km from the finish we met the Manfred, he flew his own route and has overtaken all. When he sees us, he is deep in the direction of the last turn, Peter and I have turned up at the point up to 1900 m, until the final approach calculator 8: 1 has shown. From there, gas was the best tactic. Greetings at home and keep your fingers crossed! Primoz.
3rd place in the team ranking, that's the result of today - yeahh! And thanks to Primoz, who won today's victory of the day ahead of Peter Neuenschwander and Manfred Ruhmer. Gerd flew in 9th place and Roland on rank 27. Kajo and Semo many at the end of the Talwind victim. Now the boys are going to eat pizza, they deserve it. Roland needs his daily Italian ice cream and kajo and I hold the position here at home. Kajo has to treat his lumbago, but he'll get it back tomorrow. I still have a lot to prepare for tomorrow.
Monday, July 15, 2019 - 86 km from Meduno to Bordano
Gerd reports: Airy Travel Day 1 Today the cock crowed early. The competition begins! Getting up at dawn and eating the meal so that we would not get hounded right at the beginning - at least that was the plan. Then we should make a little wrong decision regarding the route, we decided on the way over the highway. Already the driveway cost us the first minutes because of technical problems. This should have been against the time we wanted to leave the highway again, nor the lesser evil. After 25 minutes of waiting time and lane change in the back of our coach, the pilots were slowly nervous and showed, each in his own individual way, signs of mild restlessness. Our estimated time of arrival shifted noticeably in the direction of the planned race start. Arrived at the toll booth, this was then attached to his telephone set and not willing to grant us early passage. But this angered the driver of our coach a lot and he threw him unkind words to his ear. Since the latter was not able to speak the same language, luckily there were no further delays, and we were then able to continue our journey unmolested. The timetable should not turn out to be as strict as announced - despite globalization, Italy has fortunately been preserved. So we could start our intended hang glider flight as hoped with all others.
The weather conditions were not optimal, but despite shadows were updrafts available and you could work out with some initial effort a nice height, from which we began our breezy journey over 87km. The thermal conditions improved and our pack was on the journey at a considerable speed. That this should be better was clear in the further daily routine, as more and more showers poured in the area. Many dragons were able to master the way to the finish. Among them were Kajo, Semo (Georg), Roland, Primoz and myself from our German troupe. Brother Jörg, however, the rain played badly. The showers spread around him and prevented his further journey to the finish. Not only that, when folding his glider, the rain should anticipate the shower that was actually planned in our accommodation. Now that we have finished our supper and have taken our supper, we will lay down and wait for tomorrow's new day. Good night's sleep on all sides, Gerd.
Again we started this morning. First at 8:30 am Teamleaderbriefing, then briefly stopped by our landlady to pick up a modem and then quickly from the direction of Meduno. Our boys left before me, so I had to accelerate. Finally, we wanted to complete the sticker campaign for the leading edges today.
The organizers want to send us out early this morning, because it should overdevelop soon. Anna, Roland's partner drove me. Direct way is announced, which is 5 minutes faster than the highway, says the Navi. I hope I did not miss a speed camera and sometimes I looked aside to see if Anna still had color on her face. But she was brave. I gave gas. After 1:15 minutes arrived at the launch site, everyone was already there, but not our boys. Oh dear, which way have you taken the well? An hour later - finally, the bus turns the corner. It was probably an odyssey. The tolls on the highway did not work at all. Already at the ticket rent went nothing, then when paying at the toll booth… our so quiet driver Uli has probably been a little irritated and accused the quiet calling Mautstellenkassier as Grattler… Thank God he did not understand Bavarian Language, otherwise he would have kept the boys waiting longer.
But luckily the already started paragliders could only sink into the valley and the competition organizers were still waiting with the briefing. Everything in the time frame. At some point, the Meet Director finally called for the briefing: 86 km towards Aviano then the finish to Bordano. Everything was ratzfatz, our boys were fast in the air. This time I could not drive fast enough to get to the finish in time, then there were already about 30 pilots. Including Gerd, Roland, Semo and Primoz. Kajo hit hard and came soon afterwards and that with fancy Vario half way. Thankfully, there are the trackers that still record the track. Jörgi had to land in front of the finish. He took another involuntary shower in the pouring rain. Three Italians won the day today: Christian Ciech ahead of Alex Ploner and Suan Selenati. Greetings from Tolmezzo Regina.

Italy, led by Flavio Tebaldi, is still confirmed as a team to beat, with four drivers scoring in the top five. Only the stainless Austrian Ruhmer resists.
Third task, particularly short, not easy due to the variable weather conditions that have caused difficulties for all the national teams, which have adopted various strategies to try to get by. A very different situation from yesterday, typical "pre frontal" with destabilization in the low strata and a cold disturbance coming from the Veneto region - as explained by the "meteoman" of the organization Damiano Zanocco - has meant that the plain is "awakened", allowing pilots at least partially to be able to risk even the fastest but also risky line.
Selenati immediately took altitude, moving after a few km from the start to more than 1000m, together with team-mate Ciech, Klemenich (SLO), Ruhmer (AUT), Garcia (ESP) and Polach (CZ), trying to exploit the plain towards the first of the two turning points of the day, located in the specific case near Cividale del Friuli, the splendid town founded by Giulio Cesare who became Lombard capital of Friuli in his time. The route then included the return flying over the hilly area of ??the middle Friuli also touching Mount Bernadia near Nimis (another place well known by local flight enthusiasts), before "touching" the second buoy near Gemona and landing as always in Bordano.
Few pilots chose the longest trajectory near the ridge, which allowed them to gain altitude faster but having to complete more kilometers to reach the first buoy in Cividale; only the Slovenian Stanislav Galovec dared to start from the third window made available by the organization, but found itself flying by itself without any reference.
At the first turning point came in the order Ruhmer (AUT), Ciech (ITA) and Sandoli (BRA), who anticipated Laurenzi (ITA), Glauco Pinto (the very strong reigning Brazilian champion with many records also on distance) and the Slovenian Matjaz Klemencic. Given the difficult weather conditions, some drivers had to "raise the white flag" landing well before reaching the goal: even Pinto himself had to surrender shortly after Cividale and this was the real coup of the day.
Misfortune also for the only woman in the race, the Japanese Sato, who suffered an accident "piercing" out of goal: immediate rescue operations taken from the operations center in Tolmezzo, where three people are constantly on the monitors and follow the pilots' tracks. In close collaboration with the Alpine Rescue Service, the athlete was reached and transported to the hospital for the necessary ritual checks; his condition does not cause concern and a good "good luck" prompt recovery has come from the whole movement.
Tanzer, class of '89, Dutch, then tried to escape while losing a bit of altitude; the "sail" was pursued by Ploner, Laurenzi, Ruhmer, Ciech and Selenati, who tried to fly as fast as possible to the second and final turning point, maintaining an average altitude of 1000 m which actually allowed them to reach Bordano in a short time. Not having to stop in search of thermals, on the landing field our Ploner champion, the Austrian Ruhmer, the excellent young promise of the flight (Flyve branded) Marco Laurenzi, Christian Ciech and the Suan Selenati from Friuli arrived which thus completed the masterpiece "made in Italy".
This is the ranking of the first drivers in goal. Once the scoring system has been developed that takes into account different variables, the final one will be published on this site: https://airtribune.com/22nd-fai-world-hg-championship/results. On the official FB page of the event and on the website www.italy2019.com, the same will be done and specifically the evening will be published the provisional ranking of the day and the following morning instead, the general official one.

Apparently nearby storm cells and some rain on the course caused some pilots to land to be safe. Seventy five pilots in goal.

The weather turns
competition|Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy 2019|weather
https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/blog__day_5
Pilots are already on takeoff. Weather seems perfect today, so we expect to go in the air early in the afternoon for a consistent task.
Because pilots weren't assigned Flymaster trackers through Airtribune, live tracking on Airtribune doesn't work for this competition. Follow the pilots on the Flymaster web site.
The task has started: https://lt.flymaster.net/bs.php?grp=2636
You can see the Replay from yesterday here: https://airtribune.com/play/4032/2d at the two times faster speed (compared to the Flymaster web site). The Airtribune replay uses the IGC files found here: https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/results. The Airtribune Replay user interface is vastly superior to the Flymaster Playback user interface. It does have a problem with screen clutter on cell phones.

Marco's wingover and tumble
Marco's wingover and tumble
A thermal too strong
Facebook|Marco Laurenzi
Story found here: https://www.facebook.com/Marco.Laurenzi.89/posts/1599931943463543
We were shortly after the start, under a line of cumulus, in convergence, at 2500 meters towards the first turn point, when the constant "beep beep" of the vario (0.5 ÷ 1 M / s) gently became more frequent, so I decided to turn and climb the last 100 meters that separated me from the base of the clouds. I'm about to turn right, that's when I feel something. I get ready to undo the 3/4's of VG that I had and tilt slightly to right to try to find the core.
The air was going up faster (2 ÷ 3 M / s) when an unheard force took my right wing and rolled me to the left in no time. The vario went from the beep beep beep to "triiiiiiiii."
I don't remember if I was able to hold onto the control bar. In a fraction of a second I found myself almost like in a wing over, but without the right speed and fighting unnecessarily. From there I saw the earth and a piece of sky upside down and gently feel my feet touch the sail, then my legs, then I lose the control bar and hit with my head on the glider nose. It went from a sudden and immediate event that didn't give me time even to understand to some sort of temporal slowdown, where time seemed to scroll slowly by, until another violent shake that threw me on to the control frame. I only realize after this is the first round of tumbling.

Italians in first place 500 points ahead of the Czech team with the Brits still in third.
There is a report of a tumble today. Initially thought to be Marco Laurenzi on the Italian team. Results show him getting only 18.33 km. I could not get the Flymaster Live Tracking web site to playback Marco's flight.

Looks like a better day:
Ploner in the lead.
Quite a race with Ploner out in the lead for almost the entire race but near the end he kept going and getting down to less than 800' 9 kilometers out he had to take a slow climb while 5 kilometers ahead of everyone else and came in 5 minutes behind them.

The meet filled up in three days. We have 82 pilots registered. We are currently looking at expanding the number of pilots who can attend. Frankly we had no idea that this would happen so quickly. We have to follow the following USHPA rule:
All competitors should be registered on a first-come, first-served basis except during the first 30 days of registration, where 30% of the available places may be held for the top 20 NTSS and top 30 WPRS ranked pilots.
We'll use NTSS and WPRS rankings as of November 1st, 2017.

To secure a higher place in the order that pilots are chosen to participate in the competition, we need pilots to be confirmed. To be confirmed you need to register, fill out on-line and send in your correct waivers and medical form (use Adobe Acrobat DC - the free version, https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/faq.html), and pay the entry fee. See:
https://airtribune.com/2018-quest-air-national-series/info/details__info
https://OzReport.com/waivers.php
https://OzReport.com/2018QuestAirpay.php
We will keep track of the order in which pilots are confirmed (everything is time and date stamped), check any forms for errors, and notify pilots if they are allowed entry into the meet.

21st FAI World Hang Gliding Class 1 Championship
Day 5, a slow day, results

The inversion took a long time to break so pilots didn't go until the third clock. The days end between 5 PM and 5:30 PM when the sun is very low on the horizon. Zac complains that pilot leave the early thermals too early when the lift decreases apparently forgetting about how they will soon be faced with much weaker thermals as they get near goal.
It took a little under 3:30 hours to do the task today for 132 km. Yesterday a task of about the same length took 2:20 hours. A very weak day.
I notice that there was a small penalty for not making goal (you get only 80% of your speed points, which in this case were very few). As long as you make the end of speed section. The penalty is the slight difference in your distance flown plus the 20% reduction in speed points.
There were very few leading point today, few speed points, and very few arrival position points. Distance was heavily counted. Thirty two pilots got to the end of the speed section.
One more day, then a rest day.

Looks like the Italians (other than Filippo) made a big mistake going on the second clock. Maybe they were low at the start of the first clock.

Tullio sends from Tuesday (about 3 or 4 PM Italian time):
Rigid wings are scored with flex wings with a 15% penalty. I wonder if Gerolf would approve.

Strong SW winds were predicted this morning, so we left to Kovk launch earlier. We decided on task only on the east half of the valley - we prepared kind off two lap task, 93 km in length. Right now pilots are somwere at the end of lap one, we expect many pilots in goal in short time.
Task 4 has just finished, with most of the pilots in goal. It was a strong racing day with high average speed of the winner, Matja· Klemencic 65 km/h. Second was Arne Tanzer and Tom Weissenberger third.

The most special thing about flying in Brasilia is the Esplanade goal field. A perfect 118km task finally brought us back here to the city today. There’s nothing more exciting that watching the lead gaggle come across the tops of the tall buildings and set up an approach in what is basically a park between the two directions of traffic – four lanes each on both sides. The field seems pretty big when you see it empty. But with twelve gliders setting up to land, especially in light and variable conditions, it quickly shrinks.
Olav Opsanger and Jonny Durand came in pretty close (with Olav first), even setting up and landing together. Another ten or so came in one after the other behind them in the first gaggle.
Tom, who is in first overall as of yesterday arrived with half of his battens tips broken and sticking 4 or 5 inches out of their pockets. Apparently he inadvertently did what he called a “½ loop” in air so strong and turbulent that he thought he would tumble. He pulled out of it at high speed and his carbon basebar slammed him in the throat while the batten tips were busy breaking off. All that fun, and he believes he may have unintentionally violated the airspace as well, in a climb late in the task that he just couldn’t get out of in time. It’s really going to mix things up if he gets a zero for the day.
Wolfi high 15 minutes before the start.

Had a bit of bummer today. Was sitting in 13th place in the pre worlds here in Brazil, but I think I might drop quiet a few positions after I accidentally breached the 9000ft ceiling. (Which can be very hard to stay under while flying in such strong conditions!) And then I miss judged the final glide into the city and had to land in someone's backyard on the lake 3km short of goal. At least I got to have swim while waiting for a ride.

The issue was that they tried to score the task using the data from the trackers and, at least in my case, the record had the wrong altitude. They then scored me with the data from my primary instrument and everything was correct.

Tulio at goal here. The big picture (surrounding).
There was a 9,000' ceiling. I would not appreciate having to stay below a given height. I see the point of keeping folks out of clouds. Pedro won yesterday and exceeded the height limit today to get a zero.
The best day by far compared to the last 10 days of flying here! Big air with 5-7 meters/second up, beautiful cloud streets, less wind and a cloudbase not much higher than our 2,700 meter ceiling - thank god!
Primoz won the day with our Austrian fellow Christian 5th, Tom Weissenberger around 7th place. Nene tumbled but stays unhurt which is most important! Next days are looking promising as well with a dying cold front passing tonight bringing some humid air masses, like today.

Tom Weissenberger writes at Wings on Tour:
Brasilia day 2, task 2: tricky and blue 100 km with many pilots in goal joined by just one single girl - and the only right one, yeah! :)
Conditions at the start gate at 1:20pm were not favorable with broken lift up to 2.000-2.300 m, still everybody left as together we are strong!
First TP 30 km down SW on the plateau kept us first along the ridge where ENE winds pushed up good lift but also with big sink in between! After jumping onto the plateau thermals got better and the main gaggle bigger. It was not the day for pushing out in front alone and into the blue, so I forced myself to play that game. To my big surprise I played it well trying to be always on top of the gaggle and leaving when everybody else did, oh boy, nerve killing!
Anyway, TP2 was a tricky one 30 km back into wind but also situated on the edge of the ridge close to launch. Once I hit a strong rocket thermal but as soon I started to enjoy the consistent 5m up I already had to dive out again not to get over the vertical limit of 2.745m, damn! Also we could not get high enough to make it back to the ridge again but winds died down so this ridge's dead zone on its lee side was starting to work! So we managed to fly just behind the ridge and right on course to TP2 where all of a sudden Pedro could catch up and join us after taking the 2nd clock, damn damn!
As soon this piece of hard work was done a 35 km downwind leg into goal was the final reward. I could go on final glide first - after playing the gaggle game well - together with Pedro and Marco.
So Pedro should win the day with me and Marco first in goal pending on leading bonus. But the best part of the day was to welcome Kathleen in goal, abraco, record lady!
The 30-40 leading points were so so much smaller than the 150 speed points that Pedro was able to gather by going second.

As it turns out, Pedro wasn’t in position to take the first start and was forced into the second. It worked for him because he caught the lead gaggle near the last turnpoint and came in together with them.

Tom's six points of leading points did put him ever so slightly ahead of Glauco (2 points). Leading points amount to so very little unless you take an earlier start clock.

Congratulations to Balazs Ujhelyi for winning the Italian Nationals in a mighty strong field! The scores show him flying an RS4 but he was actually flying his new RX4!
Balazs wrote to me:
Glider was super also on this comp, I enjoy the Rx feeling a lot and how it hooks into the thermal.
When I asked him about his result he comment was ”quite good”!
Way to go Balazs!

The Hang Gliding Italian Open 2016 is taking place at Monte Cucco (Sigillo). Today task was cancelled due to a front coming in the afternoon. At the moment two task has been flown and Marco Laurenzi is leading the overall ranking with a margin of 50 points on the Hungarian Balazs Hjhelyi. The former Italia champion Christian Ciech (and World and European Champion) is in fifth place after a very bad first task. Christian won task two but Marco arrived second. So it will be a very interesting competition to follow.

Once again, leading and arrival position points are just time/speed points. In this race numerous pilots who didn't make goal received leading points comparable to the fourth pilot into goal, but they were minimal. Distance points were a major factor as only four pilots made goal and time points made the difference between pilots making goal and those not making goal.

Once again leading and arrival position points are just stand ins for time or speed points. All these pilots that made goal started at the same time. The pilots that didn't make goal and did get some leading points, got very few leading points. Certainly nothing that would have encouraged them to actually lead.

Basically a race start with only a couple of pilots taking the later two times. All these guys started at the first clock. Leading points? A forty point spread over the top 10, in which there was a 275 point spread for total points. The leading points were almost completely aligned with speed points (variances were small). So, in essence, leading points and arrival position points were just another version of time points.

Christian Ciech has just won the Monte Cucco International Trophy for one point over Alex Ploner and with this victory he has won seven of the eight competitions that he has attended so far this year (he missed winning at the Worlds in Forbes in January). Seven in a row! He also won nineteen of the thirty two tasks flown in these competitions. I'm very proud of my long time friend and teammate.
