On Saturday, Christian Ahlmann impressed with a successful comeback in the LGCT Series, winning the Grand Prix in Paris. “It is difficult to explain the feeling, the last time I left Global Tour it was a little different, with one arm in the wrong direction…"
"I am really, really happy to be back in the sport. -This is the first time I am back in the ‘real sport’, let’s say, and to finish it with a win here, it’s unbelievable.”
Speaking about the level of competition in today’s jump-off he added: “I think all of them were very, very dangerous - we have the best of the world here with more or less the best horses they have right now - they can do everything they ask for on the right day, and luckily today was my day.”
As the eighth rider to collect their ticket to the exclusive Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix in Prague later this year, Ahlmann smiled: “This is one of the main goals of the whole season - to be part of the Super Grand Prix, it's always a big fight. Everyone wants to be in it and only the winner can qualify and I am more than happy to be part of it.”
