Every pigeon fancier, whether amateur or professional, experiences some tension when birds are arriving from a race. But believe me, the people who were not with us during yesterday's arrival of Chateauroux, will not understand the level of tension we experienced during yesterdays race. It wasn't a secret, but yesterday it has been proven once again that Jos Thoné is an extremely passionated pigeon fancier. We could almost put the "cherry on the cake", as we just missed a first national, probably only by seconds. Nonetheless, we are very happy with our results as they are phenomenal, in every category.
Chateauroux, national race of 547km to our lofts. A total of +33.000 pigeons were basketed to the race.
