7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:58:56) :
     Due to dangerous conditions on the take-off the task has been stopped.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:47:52) :
     Launch is currently closed as the wind is cross making the bowl in front of launch turbulent
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:47:03) :
     It will be very interesting to see how they get on flying over tree covered hills today.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:46:15) :
     Yesterday there were also nice thermals comng off the fields but the forests didn't work well.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:42:01) :
     Stefan Bernhard told me the clouds worked well yesterday, a few are popping up above launch which may now help
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:41:55) :
     Those in the air have now got a nice bit of height which is frustrating for those still on the ground currently getting tangled up on launch.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:38:32) :
     Primoz said even small dips can fill with warm air protected from the wind and give off thermals.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:37:13) :
     Primoz Susa currently lying 5th overall told me the topography is very complex here. It's best to look for the changes in colours between fields

     They have now moved forward away from the hill and are doing a lot better.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:33:24) :
     Virtually eveyone who has taken off so far is in a gaggle to the south of launch milling about trying to get up.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:29:25) :
     The wind seems to be braking up the thermals making it difficult to launch.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:28:30) :
     He told me there is over developement behind, big clouds forming already, but it still seems quite stable above launch.

     I've just spoken to Antonio Golfari
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:24:18) :
     Also of course they are taking off earlier today than on precivious days.
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:23:55) :
     There is lot of hesitation to launch, it looks a bit stable, those who have taken off are only just maintaining above launch
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:20:26) :
     It's quite difficult to tell you who is taking off as they all look a bit like astronauts dressed up for halloween!
7 years ago (2017-06-22 10:19:30) :
     Today's task should seperate everyone out a bit more.
