Following the summer break, Italian show jumping takes center stage once again. On the weekend of September 19–20, the Italian Champions Tour (ICT) makes its debut in Ascoli Piceno, hosted within the prestigious national 6-star competition. This is a decisive fixture: it marks the final chapter of the qualifying phase and serves as the ultimate stepping stone toward the highly anticipated Fieracavalli Final in Verona (November 5–8). At Gruppo Selleria Equipe, we are ready to take the arena as frontrunners.
The SPORT Standings: Just One Step from the Top
Founded through the vision of Riccardo Boricchi and Guido Grimaldi, the ICT 2026 circuit continues to merge athletic excellence, business networking, and local heritage. Following thrilling stages in Arezzo, Lido di Camaiore, and Rome’s iconic Piazza di Siena, the provisional standings in the SPORT category remain exceptionally tight—with our team firmly in contention for the lead:
1. Rider’s Gene: 64 points
2. Intermodal Jumping Team: 60 points
3. Gruppo Selleria Equipe: 59 points
Trailing the top spot by just 5 points, every clean round and every fraction of a second will count. The Ascoli Piceno arena will be crucial in defining our starting position and point tally heading into Verona.
Our Horse-and-Rider Pairs: Luigi Cupone & Nico Lupino
Defending the colors and pride of our brand in Ascoli Piceno will be our riders: Luigi Cupone e Nico Lupino.

The Ascoli Piceno stage also welcomes major national partners such as Gruppo Estra, an Italian leader in energy and sustainable innovation, underlining the circuit’s ability to bring together elite sport and enterprise.
