Dutch choose for WC team in Aachen

This month all European Nations are preparing for the European Championships in Aachen, Germany. It's the in between on the road to next years Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.  Today Dutch teamchef, Rob Ehrens, has announced his team. A team that is the copy of his succesfull World Championships team last year.

"We definitely will belong amongst the favorits," states Ehrens.  "Our first goal of the year is set, to remain in the Division one league of the Nations Cup series. Now the goal is to end on top of the Championships in Aachen."

World Champion combination Jeroen Dubbeldam and SFN Zenith N.O.P. are in the team. Also Maikel van der Vleuten and VDL Groep Verdi N.O.P will represent the orange colours. For them Aachen will be the fifth major Championship in a row. Earlier this year they even finished sixth at the worldcup finals in Las Vegas.

Further it will be Gerco Schröder and Glock's Cognac Champblanc (by Clearway) and  Jur Vrieling with VDL Zirocco Blue N.O.P. (by Mr. Blue). If Ehrens can't count on this strong team he has one of the best as reserve; Harrie Smolders with his famous stallion, Emerald (by Diamant de Semilly).
