 2007 Sultans Cup - Leonard Liesens

Add Your Comments

10Nov... Départ de la course à 4:30 de l'après-midi. Un départ très sage sans commune mesure avec des championnats ou des courses FEI 'traditionnelles'. Très vite, le malais Ismael se pointe en tête avec l'équipe du Sultanat de Kelantan. Jack Begaud n'est pas loin, en embuscade. Après 10min de course, c'est une avalanche d'eau qui s'abat sur les concurrents et inonde la piste ( au retour de la première boucle, on pouvait croire qu'ils pataugeaient dans une mer à marée basse). Personne parmi les cavaliers n'a cependant l'air de se plaindre. Seules les assistances subissent les éléments. Les points d'assistance sur la course sont praticables pour une vingtaine de voiture mais il faudra revoir la copie pour un championnat où sûrement 200 4x4 provoqueront immanquablement cafouillage et accidents.
Le 4x4 des Atger tombe en panne au premier point et nous recevons un sms désespéré de Magali. Les belges feront donc l'assistance de Virginie. C'est tellement mieux que de se tourner les pouces.

Complete Report and photos

10Nov... Flag-off at 4:30PM. Very quiet and sage start. Nothing to compare with other championships or 'regular' FEI rides in Europe. The malay rider Ismael takes the lead with the Kelantan team. Jack Begaud is not far, in ambush. From the 3rd loop he will take the lead. The two riders from the UAE are also in the leading group. The Americans are between them and the other Europeans. They all look good. After 10min, it was pouring cats and dogs. the trail is flooded. Riders arriving at first vetgate are like cruising in a see at low tide. Amazing. But the riders do not seem to complain. This is only disturbing for the crews and the spectators. The crew points are still reachable, but there are only 40 riders. With 150 riders, no way to access the crew points without risking an accident and traffic jams. The pickup of the Atger breaks down, no battery. We get an SMS from them. They are desperate. Belgium will rescue them and crew for Virginie. We finally have something to do.
