Tight Standings and Open Predictions
The overall ranking arrives in Verona with minimal margins, guaranteeing a high-adrenaline weekend.
SPORT Circuit: Balance at the Top
At the top sits Intermodal Jumping Team led by Giorgio Fiorini with 80 points, closely followed by FHorse Team Show Jumping (75 points) and Scuderia Coata (74 points). The reigning champions of Gruppo Selleria Equipe remain in contention at 72 points, closely trailed by the duo Rider’s Gene and Givova, tied at 71 points. Over selective 1.45-meter courses, even a single obstacle fault or a fraction of a second against the clock can alter the podium.
PRO Circuit: Fieracavalli Defends the Lead
In the circuit dedicated to 1st and 2nd degree riders, the home team Fieracavalli (led by Armando Di Ruzza) defends the top spot with 110 points, maintained consistently since the opening stage in Arezzo. Pushing hard behind them are MM Independent (105 points) and Unigroup Jumping Team (101 points), followed by Team Mae Marima Etomilu (95 points) and San Marino Digital Identity (90 points).
Heart in the Arena: Giacomo Casadei and Roberto Previtali Defend Our Colors
For this Verona finale, entering the ring for team Gruppo Selleria Equipe will be two of our sponsored riders: Giacomo Casadei and Roberto Previtali. Key players in our memorable 2025 victory, they form a close-knit pair capable of combining technical precision, composure, and a symbiotic connection with their horses.
To them, the Team Manager, and the entire squad go our warmest best wishes: we know how much daily dedication and attention to detail go into every single entrance into the ring, and we are proud to see them defend the title with the determination and style that have always distinguished us.
Beyond the standings and the verdict of the arena, our greatest wish is for the overall success of the event. May Fieracavalli and the Pala Range Rover prove once again to be the ideal stage to celebrate equestrian sports in their purest form: a weekend filled with genuine emotion, mutual respect, and top-level sport to be experienced and shared with the entire crowd in the arena.
