Congratulations to our team riders!
We are very happy about this great success!
On the first February weekend the 2017 Snowkite Open took place at Lake Resia, Italy.
The riders had to face difficult wind and weather conditions during the whole weekend. Fog was a huge problem as well as light winds. The LIBRE team riders Kolja, Bernd and Jörg started in the long distance race. 80 kilometers race distance were originally planned. However, little wind and fog during the races forced the race administration to shorten the distance down to 60 kilometers.
Kolja, Bernd and Jörg got into the races on their 15 m and 11 m Radical 3 proto-types.
In the end Bernd came in 2nd in the German ranking. With lots of effort Kolja won the German ranking on top of the podium.
In the international ranking Jörg landed on the 7th place.
From 28th to 29th January the 3rd tour stop of the Swiss Snowkite Tour took place in Les Rousses, France. As the wind forecast was pretty lousy, a lot of riders decided not to travel to the event. In the end there were only 14 competitors. As predicted there was no wind on Saturday. Nevertheless, Sunday around noon the wind picked up a little an the first race happened in the afternoon.
Bernd, Kolja and Jörg started on their Radical 3 prototypes.
In the end Kolja won the event, followed by Bernd on 2nd and Jörg on 3rd position. All the podiums therefore were taken by our team!!!
Huge congratulations guys!!!
