Twomey arrived in Lyon from his British base on Wednesday, where he joined up with the veteran mare Tinka’s Serenade, his ride for the World Cup final, and Royal Du Rouet, who he is competing in the three-star show. Both horses are in great form, according to the rider.

Yesterday featured the first leg of the final, with the action continuing in the second leg today, while the final will take place on Monday.
