YB Season 2026
You and you Dad have put so much work into the birds, So Leon if there is a chance for you to send your birds. I would say send mate, theseason is far to short. you have great birds that need tested. I understand how your Dad feels, but that can be sorted after the racing ends. Keep doing what you do best.
Really sorry to hear that news Leon
if things are that bad you would think for the good of the sport they would transport together
Good luck for this weekends race hope you have good returns and results mate

Season has come to an end this weekend. I wish i couldve kept this more up to date over the past 2 weeks but sadly we have had a very serious personal matter in the family as someone is seriously ill.
Just a quick follow up to what has happened racing wise the last 2 races
On the 29th we raced Dreis-Brück 250km We won
1.st Club 1.st Fed 2nd FG (FG is flight group aka trasnport group because we transported with another fed togehter)
On the 6th so yesterday we raced the final race from Fliessem 280km We won
1.st Club 1.st fed 1.st FG
Overall in 6 races this year 4x1st club 3x1st fed 1xst FG
1.st YB Champion in fed with a huge lead.
7 of the first 10 Ace ybs in fed including 1,2,,4,5,7,8,10th
Despite all the drama within our fed/combine and all the problems within the family. This is one of the best season in the last 10-20 years we had in YB Racing.
But i still see alot of faults we can fix for the next season. Sadly once again the combine race didnt happen which makes us like every year not able to compete for combine and german YB Championship and ace bird but at this point im used to it.
The only thing thats left ot wait for is a cup called "Horst-Althoff-gedächnispokal" Which basically is the same birds with the best results on the first and last race their acepoints combined. To my calculations ours have around 330 out of 400 ace points Which could
put us in a top 5 position in the combine for the cup but this i will see maybe thursday or in 2-3 weeks when racing season is officially over in all of germany.
Thanks for everyone who tuned into the livestreams i did through the season. and we shall continue with this next year in the new OB season around April. By that point hopefully with other tech including a 2nd camera for the other loft and maybe 1-2 other things im always open for suggestions
