This weekend will be the last occasion before September to see the stars of world show jumping come face to face in the huge ring of the renovated Ecuries du Golfe de Saint-Tropez, in Grimaud!
The Hubside Jumping returns on Thursday 27 June, with as usual, since it was launched in April, the presence of all the discipline’s experts. The Gulf of Saint Tropez continues to attract the stars…even from the world of riding!
After the legendary John Whitaker, who honoured the Hubside Jumping with his presence at the beginning of June, another show jumping giant is expected in Grimaud at the end of this week.
There isn’t a title that he hasn’t won! Olympic champion in 2004, World Champion in 1998, the three-time winner of the FEI World Cup Final, Brazil’s Rodrigo Pessoa will indeed be competing, alongside other big names, who have yet to win the CSI4* Grand Prix. Let’s mention among others the French Olympic team gold medallists Roger-Yves Most (with among other Sangria du City) and Phillippe Rozier, Switzerland’s Beat Mändli, who also won the FEI World Cup Final (2007), an important Italian delegation, loyal to the French Riviera show since its launch, as well as Germany’s Toni Hassmann, the European Young Rider individual gold medallist in 1995 and the standard bearer for Germany, which has not been particularly represented for the moment in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. And of course, not forgetting those who have already distinguished themselves at the Hubside Jumping, including France’s Guillaume Foutrier and Alexis Deroubaix, who will return after a victory and a second place respectively, a little earlier in the season.
Sixteen nations will thus be present in the CSI 4* including Canada and the United States! In total, 18 classes, three different categories (CSI 4*, CSI 2* and CSI 1*) await the public; the tracks of the courses will be created by France’s Grégory Bodo, the rising star of course designers since his remarkable contribution to the FEI World Cup Circuit and its finals at Paris-Bercy in 2018.
