Hok Jos Vercammen 5 fastest birds against 7,238 birds
07 Jun 2022
Last week we reported already about the top results on Bourges and Melun, but this week Jos and Lars are winning in a very impressive way
Lars tels: "After careful consideration, we decided not to enter our Bourges team on the national Argenton race because of the bad weather forecast (predicted scattered thunder storms). Instead we sent them to the Melun race and we split them over two federation/clubs (Bourges team of the week before + our middle distance team). It was a very tough race (first bird had velocity of 1,256 m/min) with high temperatures and head winds from start till end. It was the perfect scenery for our birds to show their class.
Our pigeons won the following results:
04/06/2022 Melun (310km)
Union Antwerpen 2,110 old birds: 1-2-3-5-12-15-21-22-23-31-46-48-56-78-97-… 33/41
Overkoepeling Mechelen + Turnhout 2,063 old birds: 1-2-7-18-19-25-29-33-69-70-74-92-… 39/49
-> 1° + 2° + 3° + 4° + 5° fastest Provincial against 7,238 birds
Remark: we had 19 (!) birds in the top 100 of fastest birds against 7,238 pigeons
