The Organising Committee of Jumping Mechelen has allocated no less than three extra starting tickets for the FEI World Cup™ Driving leg in Mechelen, Belgium, on 29th and 30th December.

The three drivers are qualified for the World Cup series and are happy to use their starting ticket in Mechelen to stay in the indoor flow in order to increase their chances to qualify for the Final in Bordeaux in February.

Geerts, Simonet and Weber will face Koos de Ronde, Bram Chardon, Benjamin Aillaud, Jérôme Voutaz and Georg von Stein as their opponents in Mechelen.
