Christian Ahlmann is on a winning streak, and took his third Longines FEI World Cup win of the 2015/2016 season. Ahlmann won in Stuttgart and Madrid, didn't start in London and won this year's last leg in Mechelen. With 77 points the German is 26 points ahead of second placed Simon Delestre from France. Belgium's Jos Verlooy is in third position after taking most of his points in the US, France's Penelope Leprevost is fourth and Belgium's Nicola Philippaerts is fifth. All riders in the top five have more than 40 points, which normally is needed to qualify for the final.

Sweden's Henrik von Eckermann is in sixth position with 38 points, and then there are three riders on 36 points - Harrie Smolders (NED), Daniel Deusser (GER) and Marco Kutscher (GER). Romain Duguet (SUI) is rank ten with 35 points.
