News has been trickling in about the Economy task. The predicted stable conditions changed to strong thermal conditions with very rough air being reported by many of the competitors. Whilst some pilots are already back in their hotel rooms, some were still flying and looked able to stay up till the task finish time of 5:30. There have been more incidents including a reserve throw following a cascade and at least one tree landing. Many pilots found themselves dealing with deflations with the added extra spice of having very few landing options in the mountainous terrain where the best thermals could be found.
