Team riders Denis Lynch, Scott Brash, and Bertram Allen climbed the rankings impressively over the week, culminating in a thrilling performance in Sunday’s final. The two demanding 1.60m rounds at the packed O2 Arena, watched by over 40,000 fans throughout the week, kept everyone on the edge of their seats.

Denis Lynch with Cordial, Bertram Allen with Pacino Amiro, and Scott Brash with Hello Jefferson fired up the arena, pushing New York Empire onto the podium.

Bertram and Pacino Amiro, who finished a remarkable fourth in the GCT Super Grand Prix in Prague in 2023, once again showed their poise under pressure with a brilliant clear in the second round of yesterday’s final. Scott Brash’s double clear further secured the team’s place among the leaders.

Victory went to the Rome Gladiators, consisting of Emanuele Gaudiano (Esteban De Hus), Yuri Mansur (QH Alfons Santo Antonio) and Peder Fredricson (Alcapone des Carmille). Second place was claimed by Valkenswaard United, with Marcus Ehning (Coolio 42), Hans-Dieter Dreher (Elysium) and Gilles Thomas (Ermitage Kalone).

It was a truly special night in Prague, proving once again that at the Playoffs, anything is possible with determination, teamwork and belief.
