He seems to be in top form. Just now Maikel van der Vleuten won the NAB Bliksembeveiliging Prize, after winning the VDL Groep Prize last night.
Today's international show jumping programme started in the second arena. Eleven combinations competed in this 1.40m class against the clock. Maikel van der Vleuten proved too fast for everyone in the time of 53.99 seconds. In the saddle of Kentucky TMS Z (by Kannan) he received the first prize.
Marcus Ehning and Baloubets Rose Dree Boeken made a serious effort and came closest to Van der Vleuten's time. With 54.22 seconds on the clock, they eventually came second. Belgium's Wilm Vermeir sent his Emerald van 't Ruytershof daughter Eytuka of Two Notes Z to third place in the time of 56.30 seconds.
