On this page, we report on the race from Duffel.
Due to poor weather forecasts, the long-distance race was canceled, and the speed race was shortened.
On Saturday, it was heavily overcast with a north wind and a chance of showers.
We entered a total of 102 pigeons, with 55 from Hans and Evert Jan and 47 from Lotte Eijerkamp.

Update: Due to the poor outlook, the flight has been postponed to Sunday.

Update: Since it is expected that releasing the pigeons will be possible earlier on a western release site on Sunday, the pigeons have been taken from Tienen to Oudenaarde (228 km).
 
Update Sunday : We have already left Oudenaarde. The convoyers found it unsafe to release the pigeons in Oudenaarde due to insufficient space and overhead power lines at the release site. Therefore, we are on our way to Duffel.
