With only six combinations to go, the jump-off in the CSI5* 1,50m/1,55m in Verona was very exciting. Tomorrow the show jumping riders ride their world cup competition. In the end, it was French rider Simon Delestre who won with Chesall Zimequest (Casall x Concerto) in 42,24 seconds. The pair already claimed a win earlier today in Verona. Delestre and Dutchman Maikel van der Vleuten aboard Salomon (Stolzenberg) were the only two riders who went clear. Van der Vleuten crossed the finish in 45,66 seconds and placed as runner-up. Austrian show jumping rider Max Kühner left the wood untouched. Together with Alfa Jordan (Air Jordan Z) Kühner completed the stage with one time penalty.
