Top pigeons in the final race and Ace Pigeons
The Europa Masters Winter Race in Spain takes place under often selective conditions. It's a highly regarded One Loft Race that includes both a summer and winter edition. For the winter edition of 2024, a total of 3,389 pigeons were entered by 367 fanciers. The official training program began on January 12, with 2,326 pigeons still in the running. With small leaps in the first few weeks, the Hot Spot program started on February 28.
Hot Spot 1 over 111 km with 2,271 pigeons and a speed of 1595 mpm
Hot Spot 2 over 172 km with 2,101 pigeons and a speed of 1,365 mpm
Hot Spot 3 over 253 km with 1,489 pigeons and a speed of 1,324 mpm
Hot Spot 4 over 301 km with 1,135 pigeons and a speed of 1,447 mpm
Semi-final over 384 km with 959 pigeons and a speed of 1,349 mpm
The final race on April 11 covered a distance of 509 km with 853 pigeons at the start. The flight went very smoothly, with the German Team Skydiver emerging as the winner. On April 24, there was an additional final race over 620 km for all pigeons that returned from the final, excluding the top 50. In this extra final, there were still 500 participating pigeons, and Thorsten Daum (followed by Great Wall) emerged as a well-known winner. The top 40 pigeons from the final, along with the top 10 ace pigeons and the best pigeons from the extra final, are now up for auction on PIPA. These are the top performers of the Europa Masters Winter Race, often descended from renowned pigeons and bred by champions from around the world.
