The small tour of the CSI* in Antwerp has just been ridden. A jump off with 17 combinations had to decide who would be crowned as winner. After his sister Ines won two classes, Michael Van Den Bosch couldn't stay behind. He and Ecoliene (Warrant x Indoctro) won the class. Nico van der Plaetsen and Ultra J Blue (Mister Blue x Kougloff-II), the winners of yesterdays big tour, stayed in the lead for a very long time, but in the end his 37.95 seconds weren't enough to take the victory. Michael was the penultimate rider to step in the ring and kept the public in suspense. He was almost one second faster than van der Plaetsen and finished in 36.80 seconds. September last year, Michael announced that he wasn't going to ride competitions anymore to focus on his job. For jumping Antwerp he made an exception which appeared to be a very good decision. Sophie Geurts and Calida (Calido x Acord II) ended on third place. The rest of the top 6 colored black-yellow-red as well. Ann de Bie rode her mare Iluna di Cantero (Quadrillo x Contender) to fourth place. Karen Oris and Daviana cleared the course in 39,76. A performance which rewarded them with the fifth place. Vincent De Reys and For Ever van de Helle (For Pleasure x Carentino) are sixth. Click here for the results
