EXCEPTIONAL Eijerkamp-Paalman dominates the race from Bierges

The 2023 season is coming to an end, but despite that, the pigeons of Eijerkamp-Paalman continue to achieve magnificent results, including in the natoer race from Bierges (205km).
On Saturday morning, it was foggy with a lot of low-hanging clouds, so it wasn't until 1:00 PM that the pigeons were released. There was little wind from directions between NW and NO, resulting in speeds of around 75km/h for the first pigeons.
A total of 167 pigeons were entered, including 110 young pigeons and 57 old pigeons.
Upon arrival, it became clear that the conditions were challenging for the young pigeons, as they were slow everywhere.

An exceptional result was achieved:
