“The crowd was exceptional today,” Larocca said in a press release from Jumping International de Bourg-en-Bresse. “This is only my second time here, and competing in an atmosphere like this is truly incredible. You can feel so much enthusiasm around the arena, and it makes the experience even more special for the riders. A huge thank you to all the spectators for their support throughout the weekend.”
