Herman on the Podium Again!

We’ve lost track of how many times Pitocco has been on the podium since he joined the OZONE team. His latest victory was at the classic Argentinian site, La Rioja, which is one of the oldest flying sites in the country and well known for powerful conditions and major dust devils.

Hernan won 2 out of the 4 valid tasks, taking the overall win by just two points ahead of his comrade Francisco Mantaras followed by Federico Rodriguez in third. All were flying Enzo 2s.

The last stop of the Argentinian League will be in Mendoza from November 10th to the13th.

Congrats to all the pilots and cheers from all the team at OZONE!
