Rabat, Morocco – October 18, 2024 – Filled with thrills and spills, the Global Champions League (GCL) of Rabat presented by 2024 Years of Culture as part of Qatar-Morocco left spectators on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Rome Gladiators powered by ClipMyHorse.TV of Lorenzo de Luca (ITA), Kyle Timm (CAN) and Michael Duffy (IRL) delivered the only double clear of the day to win the Rabat stage of the year in style but it was too late in the season to secure a top 4 finish in the overall championship.

Uliano Vezzani (ITA) crafted an exceptional course for the Championship Final in Rabat, incorporating a challenging triple combination and a related distance in front of the VIP hospitality, proving to be one of the most impactful elements. Round 1 saw an impressive eight teams on zero penalty points, it was still anyone’s game in Round 2 as riders battled it out round the 1.60m course in their last opportunity to secure points in this year’s Championship.

The Stockholm Hearts consisting of Malin Baryard-Johnsson (SWE), Julien Epaillard (FRA) and Olivier Philippaerts (BEL) finished second as the fastest team on four faults just ahead of the power house team Shanghai Swans consisting of Daniel Deusser (GER), Ben Maher (GBR) and Max Kühner (AUT).
