Cortney Cox and Ulane Belmaniere both made the trip to Madrid to participate in the 5^th stage of the Global Champions Tour. Pius Schwizer and Daniel Deusser rode Cortney Cox and Calisto Blue respectively in the classes counting for the Global Champions League. Their excellent results (Cortney Cox: 1 time-point and no faults, Calisto Blue : double clear round) allow the Shanghai Swans to remain at the top of the ranking (https://www.globalchampionsleague.com/team-ranking/2019/) of the Global Champions League with 10 points over the St Tropez Pirates. Ulane Belmaniere jumped very well in the 145 and 150cm classes, though sadly making one or two faults each time.
