2010 SICILY GRAND PRIX
Mondello, Sicily, Italy
20th to 23rd May 2010
An International Windsurfing Association sanctioned event |
In total 89 competitors registered for the 2010 Sicily Grand Prix in Mondello, 11 of these were Raceboarders. In all, the competitors represented 10 countries and 4 continents - with racers from Argentina, New Zealand and Tunisia joining the European nations present. Techno 293 class had the largest entry with 45 competitors - joined by 33 RS:X.
Two further races were completed on the final day of the 2010 Sicily Grand Prix, making a total of four. Although 3 races were scheduled for the day there was not sufficient wind mid afternoon to call out the racers for the third race. This meant any mistakes over the past 2 days would be costly as there were no discards allowed.
The final battle on Raceboard changed completely the provisional ranking fixed the day before: the Slovak Patrik Pollak overtook the former leader Italian Alessandro Alberti. Paco Wirz, the evergreen Italian won both final races and showed his never-lost superb skill, even in absence of a regular training.
