18th of February 2007 Unfortunately, due to higher temperatures and worn down trails, FISTC officials took the decision to cancel the third heat of the Mid distance and Long trail European Championships in Pian Cansiglio. This was a necessary decision taken in order to avoid any risks for the dogs and the equipment of the mushers. Anyway, this sad decision was approved by all mushers present at the musher evening. The FISTC and the FIMSS decided that we could come back here in this really beautiful place in the near future and then organice a perfect Championship. 17th of February 2007 FISTC European Championships in Middle Distance and Long Trail started yesterday in Pian Cansiglio (Italy). The site is really beautiful, and the race would have been perfect if ... there had been enough snow. Due to the lack of snow we needed to move the stake-out area to a higher but smaller place -- as well as the start and finish area to an even higher place. The price giving ceremony Look at the room of GLORY From the bivaque- The long trail race From the trale As you may see from pictures taken by long trail competitors on the trail, the weather has been really beautiful but unfortunately a little bit warm. However, thanks to the hard work provided by Mario Azzalini, the Trail Boss, and his team, and the FIMSS under the leadership of its President, Massimo Bassan, we have been able to run the first two days. Longtrailers enjoyed their first two days of race as well as the "biwac" where they spent the whole night with their dogs. This morning they all went much faster on a frozen trail than yesterday. The Slovak Anton Miklovic is the leader of the LTO Class, and he is being followed by Petra Deggendorfer (D) and Jean-Marc Charneau (F). Our "Flying Secretary" Jana Henychova is first in the LT2 class with 8 Siberians, and her Slovak friend Juraj Potocek is second. Third is Holger Steiner (D) with his Malamutes. Fabien Fisher also enjoys his race in LT1 with four Malamutes. The competitors In Middle Distance, trails proved to be much faster today than yesterday. In D1 class two Italians, Pierangelo Patriarca and Rinaldo Marioli are compeeting for the first place, and Didier Fleury (F) is third. In C1, today Rocco Pigola (D) catched Erik Martinez (F) and now has an advantage of 4". The title seems go to one of these two mushers, and at the third place we find Ondrej Stejskal (CZ). In C2 there is also a strong competition between Branislav Slany (SK) and Thierry Narcy (F) with less than two minutes in difference. The title in B1 should go to Matteo Bartolini. He really has the fastest team in this class, and after two days he is 30' in advance of the second - Daniel Foulon (F) followed by another French musher Yohann Philip. In B2, today Jan Kerul (SK) passed the Swiss Stephane Ruchet today getting the first place, and third is Daniel Chomette (F). The trail was really a tough one for Pulkaists with the present snow conditions. On such a difficult trail two Germans, Michael Hederich and Achim Kölzow are compeeting for the first place, while Florian Thevoz (CH) is third. In the A class another German musher is first, Jens Laudel, the French Yannick Weber is second and Manfred Komac (A) is third. After his World Champion title in sprint last week, Claudio De Ferrari (I) is most likely to be also European Champion in MD this week ! Second in that class is another Italian musher, Vanessa Bambi, and third is Wolfgang Hammerschmid (A). Many positions may still change tomorrow... If weather conditions allow us to organice as well as today. Anyway it is another week-end of races on snow -- a rare event this year ! From the stake out   THE RACE IS CONFIRMED!!!! As the Board of FISTC arrived here in Pian Cansiglio, it looked as shown on the picture above. On the way here we unfortunately did choose some difficult roads, and as the GPS will lead you the same way, we will recommend those coming from the north to go on the Highway A27 untill Exit VITORIO VENETO SUD continuing towards FREGONA. Then you will already see signs for Pian Cansiglio. This route is about 25 Km. longer, but much more easy to drive. We wish you a safe drive and are looking forward to welcoming you here in a wonderfull landscape with good snow in the forests, where the tracks are waiting - well prepared.
