Close on their heels was the America rider, a regular here at Montenmedio, Paris Sellon, on her very successful partner ‘Aconzina PS’. This pair stopped the clock in 65.75s. Belgian rider, Zoe Conter took third place on ‘La Una’ in this very fast, competitive class.
A regular winner here at the tour was top of the podium in the 1.40. Irish rider Niamh McEvoy with ‘My Diamant PD Z’ (‘Mylord Carthago’ x ‘Diamant de Semilly’) took the win in this speed class and was just under 3s faster than the Spanish rider, Álvaro Castro Román, who took second with ‘Brigitte’. In third was Norwegian, Ingrid Gjelsten with ‘Nevado de Toluca’ and fourth was British, Skye Higgin with ‘Gotcha’.
There was a Spanish win in the 1,35 for Marta Garat Macías with ‘Julieta del Amor’, who is by ‘Grand Rivage’ x ‘Diamant de Semilly’. Second was Swiss rider Thibaut Keller with ‘Badaboum One’ and third, French rider Guy Jonqueres D’Oriola with ‘Aloma de Grandcamp’.
British, Will Edwards and ‘Magic Chanti’ were the winners of the 1.30 class, second to fourth places were taken by Swiss riders. In second was Georgina Leimer with ‘Stolzer Jung’ and she also took fourth with ‘Hannah von de Soehr’ and sliding neatly into third place was Noah Keller with ‘Acaja’.
