I visited Beas de Segura on Thursday early morning (28 June), at the time of the start of the 6th task. The competition flights are proceeding well and each of the four classical classes had flown 5 validated tasks at that time.
The provisional overall top three pilot rankings issued on 27 June at 16:31 were:
Weightshift Control Single Seat Class (WL1), after task 04:
1. | Alojzy DERNBACH | POL | 2852 points |

Weightshift Control Two Seat Class (WL2), after task 05 (task 01 was cancelled):
1. | Simon BAKER / Anita HOLMES | GBR | 2911 points |
2. | Tomaz GAJSER / Joze GAJSER | SVN | 2905 points |

A new set of results incorporating the results of the next task was due to be published on 28 June in the morning. They had not been released fully when I left the site, but it appears that the team of Pierre FAUCHER and Vincent MESTRIE (FRA) would move from the fourth to the first place in Class WL2, and the team of Philippe ZEN and Thomas KNOWLES (FRA) would move from the second to the first place in Class AL2.
