Task two here at the Europeans, and yes, the Litespeeds are still winning (Elio Cataldi took the day), but I am not leading anymore :-(

However, this seems all a little insignificant right now, as Swiss Top Aeros Pilot Richi Meier unfortunately died today, crashing onto a mountain plateau, after tumbling and not having enough altitude to successfully deploy his chute. We are still collecting all available information from potential eye witnesses, so at this stage it would be too early for conclusions.

As you can imagine everyone here is quite sad. Richi was a fun guy and despite only around for a few years already quite popular among the pilots.

Official notice here.

Provisional task results of the 101.3km task saw 25 pilots in goal at Annenheim.

1. Thomas Weissenberger (AUT) – 1.58:29
2. Michael Friesenbichler (AUT) – 1.58:43
3. Elio Cataldi (ITA) – 1.59:15
