Only the top 18 can compete in Sweden at the end of March, for most show jumpers it was the necessary last effort to collect some points. A total of 17 combinations qualified for - what proved to be - exciting jump-off. So far the French riders were on top in almost every class in Bordeaux. The tricolor-team continued their winning streak thanks to Kevin Staut and the 15-year-old Reveur de Hurtebise (by Kashmir van het Schuttershof). The pair finished clear in 39.86 seconds. Simon Delestre and his black are Qlassic Bois Margot (by l'Arc de Triomphe) risked everything. The pair stopped the clock in 40.74 seconds, returning home with a second place. Edwina Tops-Alexander followed in a third place with Caretina de Joter (by Caretino). The top five was completed by Marcus Ehning with Cornado NRW (by Cornet Obolensky) and Dennis Lynch with All Star 5 (by Argentinus).
