The Dutch are masters at this late night / early morning racing
I was on 12hr nights last year watching them time in at 01:00, 02:00 and 03:00 in the Marseille race
These birds were having like 19 hrs plus on the wing
You might say ‘they have the terrain’ but very few birds are gallant enough to stick that time on the chin
They also have races at sunrise, and clock in before they go to work Mike. A young lad I spoke to Ronnie Adams was very good in these races.

I'm betting these 2 are just one bird.

Good luck using the NFC site. It showed 2 birds backs over 2 hours ago and nothing since. The quick prov results link is not working.
