PWA Slalom Worldcup Fuerteventura 2010

Ten days of highest Level Windsurfing at Fuerteventura, that is the 2010 PWA Windsurf Worldcup at Sotavento Beach which has started the 24th of july with the Slalom discipline. All Top Riders, the fastest Windsurfers on earth, had arrived to race around the downwind courses for world ranking points. Top Favourites were actual Worldchampion and dominator Antoine Albeau from France, as well as record holder in worldchampionchips, Björn Dunkerbeck, ex fastest man on the Planet Finian Maynard, ex Worldchampion Kevin Pritchard and Micah Buzianis and the French speeder Cyril Moussilmani. The windspeed was measured with 25 to 37 knots on the race course and the first to dominate those strong winds was Worldchampion Albeau who raced up through all Heats and straight to the win of Slalom number one, followed by Cyril Moussilmani, while Dunkerbeck started over early and had to be disqualified. With increasing winds the races became more and more spectacular but the Top Riders in the final were the same and with some great performances in the previous Heats british Ross Williams became one of the men to beat in the Final and only Cyril Moussilmani managed to catch up and fly over the finish line on first position with Williams in second. Albeau had a major crash on the first leg when his mast broke with approx. 60 kilometers per hour. Luckily he didn´t result injured and could try to fight back in race three of the day. Lik the first rounds of each Slalom would be just better warm up sessions, also in race three all Top guys made it into the final again. The windspeeds now reached Top level and the Racers were flying only on their fins over the course and Micah Buzianis was the one with most control and could win this race number 3 with Albeau right behind him and Cyril Moussilmani chasing Albeau. Moussilmani finished day one of the 2010 Fuerteventura Slalom Worldcup on the Top, with Albeau in second and Ross Williams and Kevin Pritchard sharing the third place.
