Condor GP2019 Qualified for the Grand Finale

[dgtfer]

Congratulations Lorenzo and Stefan, you are the first two pilots qualified for the Grand Final Race!
A pleasant flight, with high mountains along the "Voie Royale", a perfect transition to the Bonnette summit, and the last leg through Vars pass.
It will probably be for the next attempt for Aleksey and Jarmo, unless other competitors decide otherwise...

[dgtfer]

With most of the top guns on a classic mountain circuit, very different trajectories and at the end JKK and AXM qualify in the final.
Well done!

[dgtfer]

Congratulation to Sandor, always among the elite, and to Davis Chappins, a welcomed newcomer! Luckily for him, Stephan was already qualified...

Congratulations to M DGTFER and Ben Fest who have entered the circle of qualifiers for the Grand Final.
A race not so easy and first places all the more deserved because of the large number of very serious competitors and the results very tight.
Congratulations to all.

[dgtfer]

Ovidiu Feder and Nicolas Caudrelier are qualified, Well done!
They are both serious candidates for the final victory...

[dgtfer]

Robin Foster and Xavier Delaborde are qualified for the Grand Final race, congratulations!
After a very good flight, Xavier could have been the faster pilot to reach the goal... but Robin made a good comeback by overtaking the 7 pilots who were ahead of him at the TP!

[dgtfer]

Congratulation to Luis Gayoso and Mihaly Knausz, the two pilots qualified for the Final!
Tim will have to wait for a next race...
After half of the qualification races Ikarus, Philoo, Aleksey Chernov, Andrew Teclaw are in a position to be qualified with the general ranking, but no doubt that they will try to qualify before the end!

[dgtfer]

High mountains with moderate wind, a technical task: Anouar was unbeatable!
With Zbyszek Tkocz, they largely dominated the race, and they are now qualified, well done!

[dgtfer]

They both had been close to qualification several time before, it is now done for Philoo and Timkie, on this first Pyrenean stage. Well done, you deserved it!

[dgtfer]

Second Pyrenean task, definitely one of the most beautiful condor sceneries (merci Patrice!). Wiek finished 2 minutes ahead of a compact group of pursuers. Claude Sim managed to gain second place. They are now qualified. Congratulations!

[dgtfer]

They both had been close to qualification on several occasions, and Aleksey leads the general ranking; With a classic mountain task, with balanced difficulties between thermals and ridges Chris Rakob and Aleksey Chernov are now en route for the Grand Final Race, well done!

[dgtfer]

Max Maslak and Horst Jahnke are now qualified, after a classical triangle from Barcelonette, good weather conditions and technical path choice. Congratulations!
Only 2 qualification races left, with 4 more qualified to come, so you can still joint the competitors of the Grand Final Race.
And remember: on a single race everything is possible!

[dgtfer]

Things are becoming serious now, only one qualification race left!
That's not a problem for Nicola Nicato and Kresimir Hrastovec who are already qualified, Well done!
In the general ranking, Ikarus and Marek Baran are out of reach and they will be in Finale, their pursuers are not qualified yet, good luck to them!

[dgtfer]

For the last qualification race, Witold Rozak and Jeroen Jennen have been the fastest, they are welcome in the Grand Final Race. A logical result, they are both among the very best Condor pilots!
About the general ranking qualifications, Bernard Brun and Jim Beam have taken the third and fourth place, and with the resignations of Philoo and Claude Sim, Egon Jorgensen and Richard Badham may join the elite. Congratulations!

The Qualification board is now complete, with the 32 competitors of the Grand Final Race.
