Great atmosphere

The competition took place in a warm atmosphere with excellent sportsmanship. During the first two events, there were a few instances where the young riders helped each other out. Even though it’s a competition, the conversations around the table in the evening remain the most important part.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who came to help us, and a big congratulations to Barbara for the flawless organization of this event!

Explanations

  • AAT: Assigned Area Task—these are events where competitors can choose where to take their turn points as long as they are within the predefined circles. These are important tactical choices based on the event’s time limit and weather conditions. There is a defined minimum time; if the competitor returns before that time, the defined minimum time counts, not the actual time. The ranking is primarily based on the average speed over the event.
