At the Hubside Jumping in St. Tropez the CSI5* 1.45m Grand Prix qualifier, which also counted for the Longines Ranking, was ridden in a class against the clock. Olivier Perreau was in excellent form and jumped in a fast and clear round to victory for France.
Olivier Perreau could count on Gl Events Dolce Deceuninck (by Toulon) to set a winning time of 62.93 seconds and thus win this GP qualification on home soil. Penelope Leprevost provided the girlpower in this class, securing second place in 63.65 seconds with Djagger Semilly (by Diamant de Semilly). Kevin Jochems kept the Dutch honor high and rode Cornetboy (by Cornet's Stern) to third place in 64.27 seconds.
Fourth place was reserved for Victor Bettendorf with Simolo de La Roque Z (by Spartacus). Philippe Rozier and Night Light Van 'T Ruytershof (by Gemini) finished fifth.
