Looks like the winner was well out in font. The rest of those in the first 10 must have come together 🤔. Yes it is quite slow.

I am not sure on the wind direction for the race, but they fly from France across Germany from South west to east.

It's in metres not yards, and just on 1200 mpm over 400 km is not bad. Without knowing the wind speed and direction.
The winner obviously broke way. Good effort :D

That does look like a wind on the nose job !! The winning bird certainly got away well, unless the others just trapped very badly 😕🤔😉
What were the overall returns like ??
It's going to be an exciting few months for you mate, it's good to see you with that spark back mate 👍🤠

Sorry Trev, i can not find the total number that was left for the final. i would say it was a nose wind. So the youngsters did very well. The results i found only show the first 100 birds to arrive.
