Koopman Gerard impresses with 1st Bressols (1,058km) and 3 x Top-100 national Barcelona (1,289km)

15 Jul 2024

The cross fumes of the Barcelona edition 2024 have only just gone or we can start making the necessary analyses. 
Striking performances include Team Koopman which classified no less than 3 pigeons in the Top-100 national Barcelona result. 
It was the very last chance (NB: Gerard Koopman will sell all his pigeons in December 2024 in collaboration with family Herbots and De Duif) to make their Barcelona dream come true. The international victory was not theirs, but 3 Top-100 results are not bad either. Especially when you know that Barcelona - Ermerveen is only 1,289km apart. 

Barcelona national: 5325 olds: 60-97-98-161-171-203 etc...
Barcelona International 17,109 old: 85-139-140 etc...

The first Barcelona pigeon to arrive was NL21-1504552, a cross between the races Cor de Heijde (breeding line "Don Michel") x PWA van der Meulen (line "superkweker 823".)

1st Bressols (1,058km) 1,354 olds
3rd and 12th National Sector 4 Bresols 1,816d.
6th and 41st National Bresols 15,296d.

But that's not all. Gerard Koopman's "Marathon violence" could not contain its forces and showed their class on the national flight Bresols, with a distance of no less than 1,058km

"Adine" NL20-4753886 won with brio 1st against 1,354d. , also good for 6th National against 15,296d.
