And his face when he as the last rider to go in the jump-off realized that he had missed out on the victory by only 0.17 seconds.

This was as close as Christian Kukuk and Checker 47 got to the Rolex trophy, after ending third.

As second to go, Christian and the well-jumping Checker went all in to shave off a fraction of a second on the time from their colleagues Philipp Weishaupt and Coby.

Philipp Weishaupt and his reliable partner Coby 8 were first to go in the jump-off and delivered a round that really put pressure on the rest of the riders. In the end they had to settle for fourth place.

Willem Greve and his 17-year-old Carambole delivered two picture-perfect rounds, to take the fifth place. Carambole looked to be in the best form of his life.

Luciana Diniz and Vertigo Du Desert had their eyes set on the Rolex trophy....

... and after clearing the first round, they got way closer. In the end, the last Rolex oxer in the jump-off fell to the ground, and with a time of 33.96 seconds they had to settle for sixth place.

Jerome Guery and Quel Homme de Hus also made it to the jump-off after a great first round. Four faults and 34.40 seconds put them seventh.

A hug for Sea Coast Pebbles Z when clearing the first round for Gudrun Patteet. This pair also had four faults in the jump-off to take the 8th position.

When a single time fault stops you from taking part in the jump-off.... That is what happened to Laura Kraut and Confu.

After getting an early fault in the first round of the Grand Prix, Marcus Ehning and Calanda 42 turned the speed up to secure the fastest time among the four-faulters to finish tenth.

After their Rolex Grand Prix win in Geneva in 2019, Martin Fuchs and Clooney 51 were the Live Contenders, but it was not their day... Eight faults in the first round put them far down on the result list.

The new Live Contender: Max Kühner with Elektric Blue P.
