11:00 Matthias reports from Silvaplana:
Good morning from (finally) sunny Silvaplana! Today is the last day of the Windsurfing Euro-Cup Silvaplana at the Stimorol Engadinwind.com Festival. After his great success in the marathon competition Andrea Cucchi is still in the lead in front of Micah Buzianis and Wojtek Brzozowski. We hope that the better weather will also bring some more wind. But at the moment we still have a northern breeze that has to go down before the Maloja thermic can kick in. So we expect nothing to happen before 12:00.
