THE first round of the 2021 Global Champions Tour (GCT) took place in Doha, Qatar, last weekend and victory in the 1.60m Grand Prix went to Belgium’s Niels Bruynseels.

Competing against a top field of 34 starters, Bruynseels was one of four double clears in the seven-way jump-off. Riding Delux van T & L, he clocked the winning time of 39.93 seconds. The victory secured the Belgian rider the first coveted spot in the LGCT Super Grand Prix at the GC Prague Playoffs.
