From 31 May to 2 June, Torbole on Lake Garda played host to another edition of the RRD One Hour Classic, an event marked by fickle winds and the victory of Frenchman Thomas Goyard in the only validated foil race.

One year follows another at the RRD One Hour Classic, the traditional event organised by the Circolo Surf Torbole on Lake Garda in Italy. The programme is always the same: a one-hour race between 2 buoys, with the winner being the one who completes the greatest number of laps, all in foil or fin depending on the conditions of the day.
After a windless Friday and a Saturday during which the race was stopped after 52 minutes due to increasingly technical conditions, the only foiling event of the weekend finally took place on Sunday.

In an unstable wind in certain areas of the lake, Thomas Goyard, who had been in the lead the previous day before the race was cancelled, took his revenge and won by a large margin. He beat some of the top names in the discipline, including Matteo Iachino, Jordy Vonk, Daniele Benedetti and Enrico Marotti, who were among the favourites. In conditions where losing the flight can be very costly, Spain's Marina Alabau learned this the hard way and had to be content with 2nd place behind the Czech Krystina Pinosova. In the U20 category, Czech David Drda (7th), Italian Jacopo Gavioli (8th) and Frenchman Sacha Fortune (9th) all finished in the top 10...
