The theory was that he was taking his team from the Eu CH in Gothenburg, but with Ruben Romp selling his horse Audi's Teavanta II C Z he had to adjusts his plans a bit. Fifth rider in Gothenburg, 'Aniek Poels', will now takeover the place from Romp. As reserve rider the Dutch take Michel Hendrix with them.
The team will be as following:
Marc Houtzager - Sterrehof´s Calimero
Aniek Poels - Athene
Harrie Smolders - Don VHP Z of Capital Colnardo,
Jur Vrieling - VDL Glasgow Vh Merelsnest
Michel Hendrix – Baileys (fifth rider)
"With a strong competitor field our riders will have to present a strong front. You can't afford any mistakes of bad luck, for any faults will cost you dearly. But all combinations are in great shape and a lot is possible", tells Ehrens.
