British Riders Continue World Cup Campaign


Nine of Britain's top riders will travel to France to compete in the World Cup Qualifier (CIC***-W) at Fontainebleau just south of Paris over 20 – 24 March. Zara Phillips and Daisy Dick, members of our 2007 Gold Medal European team, are joined by fellow World Class Performance riders Sarah Cohen, Rodney Powell, Polly Stockton, Lucy Wiegersma as well as Jo May, Polly Jackson and Tristram Owers.

Fontainebleau will be the first opportunity in 2008 for the senior selection committee to see these combinations over an international track, against a field of other, potential, Olympic combinations. Strong competition will come from Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Belgium and Germany as well as the host nation France

Fontainebleau is also the venue for the 2009 European Championships and will give the opportunity for riders and team officials to have a look at the venue and facilities.
