WORLD CUP · SILVAPLANA, SWITZERLAND · JUNE 2026
SILVAPLANA WORLD CUP: STRONG PACE, FRUSTRATING FINISH
10th Place — 2026 Formula Wing World Cup
Thomas Proust finished 10th at the Formula Wing World Cup in Silvaplana, Switzerland, after a week that showed both his speed and the unpredictable nature of high-level racing.
Held on the alpine waters of Lake Silvaplana, the competition got off to a slow start as the fleet waited for the famous Maloja wind to arrive.
Once racing began, Thomas found his rhythm and secured a place in the final day's knockout rounds, keeping himself in contention for a strong finish.
His campaign ended in the quarter-finals following an on-water incident with another competitor. A disqualification left him 10th overall, despite having shown the pace to finish higher.
A frustrating outcome, but one that doesn't take away from the positives of the week. Thomas continues to compete alongside the world's leading Formula Wing athletes, gaining valuable experience at every event.
Not every race ends on the podium. Silvaplana was another reminder that speed is only part of the game. On to the next World Cup.
