On Sunday 5th of July, it was time for the long awaited final race of the Derby Arona Tenerife. We're proud to present you the winners and first pigeons of the 2020 edition!
The pigeons were released at 08.00 h for a 280 km trip back to the island. In hot and windy conditions (NNE-wind) and 26 degrees, the pigeons had to manage to get home.
