There were 36 pilots competing in the solo foot launch class plus several solo and double trikes and 5 tandem crews.

He impressed everyone flying 6 hours during pure eco tasks till the evening briefing.

Alex Mateos reports: “This year I won the French Champion title for the 6th time! For me this competition was not very stressful, because since the beginning I was on the top of scoring list with a huge gap to the 2nd pilot. I won 10 of total 15 tasks”
