They often say, 'things were better back in the day.' It's time for some top riders to dig up some old memories. Living legends; Ludo Philippaerts, Stanny van Paesschen, Dirk Demeersman, and Jean-Paul Musette speak candidly. "I still remember one evening during the CSIO5* Dublin. There was the Nations Cup and we had a nice evening at the bar...
"... Jean-Paul was the chef d'équipe then and he went to his room. It wasn't our best Nations Cup. That evening I was sitting in the bar with Ludo afterwards," says Dirk Demeersman. "Ludo had a Spanish girlfriend and we thought, let's call her room and tell her there's a fire. Leave everything behind and come downstairs. You have to know that we had a view of the elevator and there was also a gala ball going on in the hotel at that time."
"So said, so done... he came downstairs, in a bright yellow jacket, pipe in hand... and those people from the gala..." it was just hilarious!"
