Congrats to all!
In my opinion Lucas was the surprise star of the event as he had never flown Valle before. And this year we had a coupe of tasks in weak conditions which made things even trickier than usual. Witness days with bad results by the likes of Ronny Helgesen, Matt Beechinor and Mads Syndergaard.
After the first day with a few very minor glitches the event ran as smoothly as we’ve come to expect and the atmosphere was great again. Thank you organizers!
