WAITING, DELAYS, or both
After returning to the Gala, I'm reviewing the delays and expectations.
It is easy to criticise and state that it is poorly organised,
Let's look at the figures
First ascent
First departure effectively at 8:30 AM the planned time
First group 8:30 AM to 9:08 AM
A competitor's breakdown and uncooperative residents = 20 minutes.
Second group 10:05 to 11:02
Stop of a competitor 5 mins, another competitor on fire… 25 mins
Total 45 minutes lost due to incidents on a single climb.
Departure: one car every 36 seconds, Great performance from the team!!
Objective: To improve ourselves to save time between ascents.
In addition, miscellaneous news items are added. :
- discovery of a car accident during the night = summoning of emergency services,
-Discomfort of a 90-year-old grandma climbing a summit via the trails = intervention by our doctor….
On the side of the Crews
Everyone who takes part in major events and highly regulated circuits agrees that the collective indiscipline of the crews is where% 50% of the delays must be sought.
A common Sunday example:
A pilot who blocks the queue to have a quiet chat with a mate for a minute, or parks in the middle of the road to help their passenger fasten their harness…
If only 60 cars out of 170 do the same = 60 minutes lost, which is 1 hour.
Morality in 2026
We will hunt down the small details to continue improving, and tackle indiscipline.
Which does not prevent a good mood.
Let's be clear!
We look forward to seeing you for our tenth anniversary
