After finishing second in the Grand Prix of Stuttgart CSI 5*-W last Sunday, world No. 1 and three-time Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ champion, Steve Guerdat (SUI), still leads the Western European League table going into the sixth of the 14 qualifiers in Madrid (ESP) in two weeks’ time, registering a total of 47 points so far.

Pieter Devos (BEL) is in second place seven points behind while Scott Brash (GBR) sits in third place. The British rider has now accumulated 35 points, and with something in the region of 40 normally sufficient to secure one of the top-18 places that will make the cut to the Final, also looks well on the road to the bright lights of the Las Vegas where the 2020 champion will be crowned.

Rounding out the top five are Peder Fredricson (SWE) with 28 points and Emanuele Gaudiano (ITA) with 26 points.
