Welcome to my channel l Pekeng Ilokano channel is about History of Racing Pigeon of World Famous and Legendary Pigeon Fanciers.
A Barcelona for hard workers, for true Flandriens.
A real Flandrien is a man of steel, who will never give up and is never afraid to work hard. This also applies to Noël Peiren's fresh winner from Barcelona. After all, this was a really demanding race from Barcelona. Probably not the hardest ever, because pigeons could benefit from the wind that was coming from southerly and southeasterly direction. However, we think this might have been the hottest edition ever, with temperatures rising up to 35°C and more on Friday. This is probably why only one single pigeon managed to get home on Friday. This was in a loft close to the sea, where temperatures were 10°C lower compared to a few kilometres inland. Did this pigeon fly along the coastline, to be able to continue flying? That might well be the case.
The truth is that the majority of the pigeons has probably taken a long break in the hot afternoon. They have likely covered a few more kilometres in the evening, before taking the final trip home in the early morning, with enough energy left in the tank. We heard that most of the racing birds from Barcelona appeared to be quite fresh by the time they arrived home, which indicates that they landed fairly early on the first day, instead of wasting energy in the heat. The pigeons that did continue to fly despite the temperatures might have actually lost a lot of time. The result was that most fanciers had to wait long before their first pigeons were home, and it took a while before pigeons started to come home one after the other. Most of them were probably still far away from home on Saturday morning.
Long distance star Noël Peiren takes the win..
Does Noël Peiren still need an introduction? He is a multiple national champion KBDB, multiple national winner, and he has won a truckload of provincial and club level victories, both in the long distance and the extreme long distance. He is a super class champion who knows when to be in great form: in the most demanding races.
This national first prize from Barcelona was probably the last thing still missing on Noel's palmares. He clocked his blue coloured hen at 8:05'31", after completing 1082.978km with a velocity of 984.96 m/min.
