It came as no big surprise that Jur Vrieling and VDL Zirocco Blue (Mr. Blue x Voltaire) were named winners of the CSI3* Grand Prix in Vestfold, Norway, on Saturday. The Dutch rider has been visiting the show for years and as always he can drive back home with several ribbons in the luggage.
Only five riders qualified for the jump-off and the rider closest to threaten Vrieling’s victory was the young Norwegian rider Pål Flam and Skjerbergs Larkin (Ladiesdream x Centauer Z) who slotted in 2, 21 seconds after Vrieling. Third place went to Daniel Svensson (SWE) and Christian K (Namelus R x Calvados) as the last combination to produce two clear rounds.
