The final day of the Autumn Tour in Valencia brought three decisive CSI4* classes, each highlighting a different facet of top-level showjumping. From a Grand Prix that demanded measured precision and speed under pressure, to two Big Tour classes built around tight lines and competitive times, the last competition day produced strong performances across nations.
CSI4* Grand Prix 1.55m - Big Tour
In the feature class of the day, Margaux Rocuet delivered a commanding victory aboard Elektra des Premices (Kannan). The French rider produced a smooth first round and returned in the jump-off with a decisive, forward ride that stopped the clock at 43.87 seconds, securing the win.
Switzerland’s Niklaus Rutschi followed closely on Amar des Brimbelles Z (Amadeus Z), also double clear, finishing in 44.40 seconds. Italy’s Nico Lupino completed the podium, guiding Iniesta (Balloon) to a confident jump-off round in 46.34 seconds.
CSI4* 1.50m - Big Tour
The 1.50m class provided the final highlight of the tour, with Argentina’s Martin Dopazo capturing the victory aboard I.Umonia R 60 (Den Ham Blue R). His clear round in 68.75 seconds set a standard no one could improve upon.
Luxembourg’s Victor Bettendorf followed directly with Champion de la Roque Z (Comilfo Plus Z), finishing in 69.60 seconds. Italy secured its second podium of the day thanks to Nico Lupino, who completed a faultless ride on Chaccandro (Chacco-Blue) in 69.76 seconds.
CSI4* 1.45m - Big Tour
The 1.45m class earlier in the day was dominated by Colombia’s Ruben Arroyave, who produced the quickest clear of the entire field with Valeska Z (Van Gogh) in 57.75 seconds.
France claimed both second and third place through Geoffroy de Coligny, first with Ester du Breche (Numero Uno) in 62.34 seconds and then with Jabalou (Balou du Rouet) in 64.69 seconds, marking a productive final day for the French rider.
