With a weaker forecast than yesterday the Task Committee goes for a shorter task of 138kms, which will be scored less due to TurnPoints (TP) and StartGate (SG) cylinders.
They will first fly to the WNW of launch, then back to the Ager area and will stay S of Ager to avoid the highly cloud covered area in the N (90%).
The first SG was at 15.15 and apparently most pilots were going for that one.

Today's turn to give his opinion about the task, before flying it, was Marc Utrillo's, recently crowned Spanish Champion:
The first leg up to Pociello is quite difficult and maybe there will be several pilots landing in the area. Then it will be a bit easier coming back here and getting high again before going to Vilanova, which has a 2kms radius to avoid people from getting trapped in the hole or landing there. From Vilanova to the Monastery will be interesting because the level of difficulty of this leg will be directly proportional to the speed of wind. Right now there is not too much wind [forecast is 15km/h], but we will only know once we get there! Then the glide to goal is easy! I think maybe 40 pilots will make goal, but then again, I may be wrong!

I guess we will have to wait and see...
