The tension was palpable on the day of the marathon flight from Perigueux. With 2908 pigeons from 284 enthusiasts from section 8 "Gelders Overijsselse Unie," it was a battle to be the best. Among these many participants, one combination was eager to make their mark on this flight: Combination ten Cate.
The race included 2971 pigeons from 366 fanciers from NPO Sector 2 Netherlands. Winning a prize in such a competitive field is an achievement in itself. But what Piet de Vogel accomplished went much further. He clocked his first pigeon at 07:19:57 and his last one at 09:54:56. With all five entered pigeons in the prizes, namely prizes 62, 221, 433, 651, and 835, he proved not only the exceptional quality of his pigeons but also his mastery as a pigeon fancier.
Achieving a 100% prize percentage is extremely rare, especially in races of this scale. The fact that Piet achieved this attests to an exceptional level of preparation, training, and care for his pigeons. His pigeons were so fast that he could close his loft even before the required 33% of the pigeons in the sector had returned home and the race was concluded.
Admiration for Piet de Vogel further grew with a recent announcement on Facebook. He revealed his intention to compete with these five top pigeons later this season in the marathon race of the year: Barcelona. The competition is forewarned; Piet has his pigeons in top form and is determined to achieve even more impressive results this season.
Get ready for an electrifying update: Preparation for Barcelona!
For those of you who thought Piet was aiming to make his five seasoned widowhood cocks peak at this race, I've got news that'll blow your mind! Piet's master plan wasn't just Bordeaux—oh no! He sent these magnificent birds to Bordeaux for the extra miles, gearing them up for the ultimate showdown from Barcelona, his crowning goal of the year!
Mark your calendars, folks, because come July, Piet will be the name on everyone's lips as the race of all races kicks off from Barcelona! Keep your eyes peeled and your excitement levels high Piet is about to make history!
In the world of racing pigeons, Piet de Vogel is a name to be reckoned with. His unique achievement in the first overnight race of the 2024 season from Bordeaux will long be remembered as an example of dedication, expertise, and pure passion for the sport. We eagerly look forward to his future achievements and the impressive flights of his pigeons.
