After Wilm Vermeir won the Grand Prix in Opglabbeek and Lauranne Spits took the CSI2* Grand Prix victory in Liège, Gregory Wathelet continues the Belgian celebration by winning the CSI4* Grand Prix in Liège! Riding the stallion Bond Jamesbond de Hay (by Diamant de Semilly x Kannan), bred by J.L. L'helgouarc'h, the top Belgian rider dashed clear to the finish line in an unbeatable time of 30.50 seconds.
The Belgian riders were on top form in front of their home crowd. Roy van Beek also navigated the gelding Charleston - H (by Comme Il Faut 5 x Zandor, bred by K. Cox) clear through both rounds to claim a impressive third place in 32.58 seconds.
He only had to yield to Britain's Robert Whitaker, who took second place in 31.92 seconds aboard Equine America Vermento (by Argento x Skippy 12, bred by J. Whitaker). Seppe Wouters also made his mark near the top of the standings.
In the saddle of Qoffiekoek de Muze (by Mosito van het Hellehof x For Pleasure, bred by Joris De Brabander), Wouters rode to a solid fifth place after a clear jump-off in 33.75 seconds.
