U25 spring cup: exciting finale with surprise winner!

Enno Klaphake triumphs in the Chio Aachen 2024 in the U25 spring cup

This year's U25 spring cup at the Chio Aachen made an exciting turn when Enno Klaphake won NC Verso Red Wine. Klaphake prevailed against strong competition and secured first place in an impressive finale.

The competition initially looked for Hannes Ahlmann with Tokyo after a safe victory. The duo was clearly in the lead and only had to cross an Oxer flawlessly. Unfortunately, this failed and despite the fastest time in the jump -off, there were four error points in the end. Thus Ahlmann, winner of the qualification on Tuesday, ended up in the sixth instead of the expected first place.

Enno Klaphake, remained without error points, used this opportunity and rode to victory with a time of 38.17 seconds. With Mylen Kruse on Lovelight (40.60) and Marvin Jüngel on DSP Kontendra (41.23) in places two and three, Klapake admitted that he had not expected victory. He intently watched how the last jump from Hannes failed and luck was unexpectedly on his side.

The participants showed a strong performance overall, with eight out of 19 riders without errors and within the permitted time of 87 seconds. In addition to the toppages, Antonia Lichen, Beeke Carstensen, Marvin Carl Haarmann and Jonte Mink also remained in the jump -off.

The U25 spring cup at the Chio Aachen 2024 was a gripping event that inspired the riders and spectators alike. Enno Klaphake showed his class at the crucial moment and deservedly secured victory in one of the most prestigious jumping competitions in Aachen.
