Longines FEI World Cup Final 2014
The winners: Daniel Deusser and Cornet D'Amour - clear in all rounds in Lyon, and well deserved champions! All photos (c) Jenny Abrahamsson.

Two penalties behind followed Ludger Beerbaum and Chiara that ended as vice-champions.
-
They are both ranked best in the world; the third placed pair Scott Brash and Ursula XII ended on a five penalty score.
-
After being clear in all rounds and displaying how amazing they are together, they would have deserved a place on the podium - but they ended up just outside as fourth on a six penalty score: Marcus Ehning and Cornado NRW.
-
It didn't last all the way for the super pair Steve Guerdat and Nino des Buissonnets who ended fifth after being in the lead ahead of the two final rounds today.
-
Maikel van der Vleuten and VDL Groep Verdi did a fantastic job, ending as number six. They only had one pole down - in the last round today.
-
The champions from 2013 - Beezie Madden and Simon - had to settle for 7th with a penalty score of twelve.

Pius Schwizer did not end on the podium, but must be very happy with the way his two horses performed - Toulago is only nine and a horse we will see a lot more from. In the end the Swiss rider finished as number eight.

Three American riders ended in the top ten, and here is the second one: McLain Ward. Rotschild jumped incredible today, being clear in the first round and had one pole down in the second.

Number ten: Charlie Jayne and Chill R Z did a super final and were clear in today's first round and then recorded a single time penalty in the second.
