Highlights from the Longines Global Champions Tour of Mexico City, part two

Monday, 22 April 2024
CSI5* LGCT Mexico City 2024

The Longines Global Champions Tour of Mexico City is probably the most vibrant show in the world, and every year this stunning event attracts a huge crowd to the Campo Marte. With four days of five-star jumping, the crowds were in for a treat – and with a home rider on top of the podium in the GCL, as well as two Mexican riders in the top five of the LGCT Grand Prix there was plenty to celebrate. 

Here, Nicolas Pizzaro and his wonderful Pia Contra thank the crowd for their support.
