Way to go, Leo,
it's good to hear that both of you are fine after being in the desert.
I'll watch you in Compiegne, maybe as an opponent. I have to ride two qualifications, the first one in two weeks - CEI Kat.B 120 km in Eisborn/Germany (our home stable...) and two weeks later the German Championship in Hitzacker (160 km).
Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
Again all my congratulations,
Wolfgang + Ninja 11
