The list of riders is known

The FEI Driving World Cup is fast approaching, and the list of participants has finally been unveiled. The drivers are getting ready to do battle in Geneva, with everyone aiming for a place in the final, scheduled for Bordeaux in February.

While the fields for the show jumping and indoor cross competitions will be revealed in a few weeks' time, the drivers on the FEI Driving World Cup circuit have already announced their intentions, with reigning three-time champion Bram Chardon of the Netherlands among those lining up in Geneva. The first of that hat-trick of wins came in 2021, when Chardon unseated the undisputed king of driving, Australia's Boyd Exell, the winner of ten World Cup titles and victorious in Geneva 12 times in a row between 2008 and 2019. Exell will no doubt be in the mood to make it win no. 13 when he returns to the Palexpo arena.

Respectively second and third in 2023, Belgium's Dries Degrieck and Dutch driver Koos de Ronde will be joining them in Geneva, as will Germany's Georg von Stein. All three will be on the hunt for some precious points in their bids to qualify for next February's final in Bordeaux. Meanwhile, the organisers have handed a wildcard to Switzerland's Jérôme Voutaz, who has twice made the CHIG podium but never the top step. Is his turn about to come?
