It is a pleasure to be in this charming town for the Longines Global Champions Tour. The superb facilities at the epicentre of equestrianism in Europe have raised the bar in equestrian sport to new heights. We are very much looking forward to seeing the world’s best horses and riders in this unique location.

What makes the Longines G lobal Champions Tour of Valkenswaard so unique?

The Longines Global Champions Tour of Valkenswaard is synonymous of elegance and is the perfect illustration of Longines’ motto “Elegance is an Attitude”.

Jan Tops FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT LGCT AND GCL

It is my personal pleasure to welcome you to Tops International Arena in Valkenswaard as we celebrate the exceptional opening stages of the 2021 season of the Longines Global Champions Tour and GCL team series.

Longines and the Global Champions Tour are extremely committed to the sport and to staging our series. When it was not possible for the event in Cannes to take place we were fortunate to be able to hold an additional show here at the special permanent facilities of Tops International Arena. As many sports like F1 have had to adapt to the current circumstances, the decision to provide the new venue reinforces our strong commitment to show jumping at the highest level.

I know everyone is appreciating the opportunity to enjoy the best in show jumping again as we take care to follow health and safety protocols. It is clear both team and individual championships are going to be extremely competitive with Team Owners and Managers and riders setting their sights on maximum ranking points going into the overall season Finals and the GC Prague Playoffs at the O2 Arena in November.

The growth of the sport and the development of the next generation of talent is close to our hearts and we continue to host more events focusing on young riders and young horses here in Valkenswaard and, of course, we are looking forward to welcoming you back for the second LGCT of Valkenswaard later on in the year from 20 - 22 August.

I would like to thank our Title Partner and Official Timekeeper Longines for their strong long-term commitment and support.

And my thanks go to all our partners and fans around the world for their tremendous passion and enthusiasm for show jumping.

longines global champions tour

Explained The 2021 Longines Global Champions Tour kicks off in March with the world’s very best riders competing for a total of €25.9 million in prize money across LGCT and GCL, and the highly prestigious Championship title.

As well as the overall ranking battle, athletes will be competing for a place in the highly coveted GC Prague Playoffs, the ultimate showdown for the world’s best, scheduled this year for November at the O2 Arena in the Czech capital city. Here, winners of each LGCT Grand Prix will be invited to compete in the Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix, the ultimate head-tohead battle of the season’s best.

The 2021 season opens in Doha, Qatar and then travels to 15 further destinations across four continents, culminating in the season Finals where this year’s season champion will be crowned.

Show jumping’s top riders team up with their best horses for individual honours in a series of spectacular competitions on the tour, with the LGCT Grand Prix as one of the highlights of each event.

To help you keep track of this thrilling series of high octane jumping, here is a brief guide to the format:

WHO WILL BE COMPETING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP? The world’s top riders may take part in any of the 15 LGCT events, earning points and competing for a prize pot of over €300,000

HOW DOES IT ALL BEGIN? Horses and riders compete in any of the CSI5* supporting classes at each show. This allows horses to acclimatise to each different venue, which ranges from grass to sand surfaces, with different sized arenas and a range of environments, as well as giving

riders the chance to win some serious prize money.

WHAT ABOUT THE LGCT SUPER GRAND PRIX? This is the ultimate showdown in show jumping. Each winner (or next highest ranked athlete if more than one event is won), will qualify for a place in this special class, held at the GC Prague Playoffs. This will see the best horses and riders across the

season return to face off for the ultimate goal of taking the title of LGCT Super Grand Prix Champion.

WHICH RIDERS COMPETE IN THE LGCT GRAND PRIX? The top 35 riders according to their penalties and time qualify from the previous competition, which also doubles as a second GCL leg, held earlier on the Saturday at each event. Jumping in reverse order of merit from the qualifier, horses and riders begin by jumping over a 1.55m/1.60m course of fences. Any combination that completes on a zero score, or tie on penalties if no combination remains clear, goes through to a jump-off against the clock, held over a shortened course, to decide top honours.

LGCT VALKENSWAARD

GCL 2021

Explained The 2021 GCL season will see show jumping’s top riders unite in pursuit of championship glory as they battle it out across the world.

A total of 16 teams line up for this, the sixth season of the GCL. This tactical series will feature Olympic and world champions going head-to-head, as well as offering some of the world’s leading under-25 riders a chance to compete on the globe stage.

The concept is the first top level competition in the sport’s history that allows riders from different nations to compete on the same team, providing a breathtaking spectacle of fierce rivalry and immense team spirit in a modern and dynamic format.

The GCL classes take place over two days at each of the global legs of the circuit, running alongside the Longines Global Champions Tour throughout the season. The climax of the year will be the GC Prague Playoffs, as teams battle through the quarter-final, semi-final and final stages of the GCL Super Cup. The countdown is on and here is a brief guide to the format:
