RESULTS I CHIO AACHEN 5*
.
There are moments in life when a few hundredths of a second can really hurt. In the €250,000 Mercedes-Benz Nations Cup CSIO 5* the German team experienced one of those moments, whilst Sweden celebrated a perfect victory thanks to a superb round by their European Champion.
.
Sweden finished on an overall score of 4 penalty-points to claim the victory in the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Nations Cup CSIO 5*. One single time fault from the first round prevented the German team from celebrating their fourth triumph in succession.
Third place went to the partner country, France on a total score of eight penalty-points. .
The French team comprised of Pénélope Leprevost 🇫🇷 with Vancouver de Lanlore, Olivier Robert 🇫🇷 aboard Vangog du Mas Garnier, Guillaume Foutrier 🇫🇷 riding Valdocco des Caps and Kevin Staut 🇫🇷 with Calevo 2.
