'WORST DAMN FLYING CONDITIONS...'
The front of the race may have been getting some decent flights, but things have been way less promising further back. Marko Hrgetic (HRV), in 20th, says: 'Such a stable day that you can't even stay in the air. Zero wind, zero thermals. Going up for another bombout.' Meanwhile, Gavin McClurg (USA1) in 14th, reports: 'Worst damn flying conditions I've ever seen. I'll take thunderstorms and gust fronts and snow over this stable soup! 3600m of climbing, four flights, and I've heard my vario beep once.'
