Race Overview:

The second race of the season was marked by high temperatures and an impressive concentration of arrivals. Despite the challenging heat, the pigeons demonstrated their endurance and skill, with approximately 1,000 pigeons arriving within a span of just over 15 minutes. This remarkable density of arrivals highlights the competitive nature of the event and the high level of preparation among the participants.

As we look ahead, the anticipation builds for the upcoming races, with only a few more to go before the grand finale at 520 km. Each race is a step closer to the ultimate goal, and the performance of these pigeons promises an exciting season ahead.

We congratulate all fanciers on their achievements in this race and wish the best of luck to those who had less fortune this time. The next races may hold the victory you seek!
