What an epic race. Bravo à lous les équipages. Pilots and teams well done.
You all promoted gasballooning in the best possible way. We are all thankful for your flights which we could watch on the screens. We are looking forward to welcoming you safely back home.
Preliminary Results
These are the preliminary ranks of this year’s Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett:
- FRA 1, Sébastien ROLLAND / Vincent LEYS
- SUI 1, Kurt FRIEDEN / Pascal WITPRAECHTIGER
- USA 2, Mark SULLIVAN / Cheryl WHITE
The official results will not be published before friday night (possibly saturday morning) because all the data will have to be evaluated in the pilot debriefing. Teams will not be back before friday. However, so far, we believe the ranking to be accurate.
