Global Champions Tour begins: a new team for Ben Maher and other big name signings

• Global Champions Tour

The new LGCT ( Longines Global Champions Tour ) and GCL (Global Champions League) season kicks off this week (3-5 March) in Doha, Qatar, with a new destination for the Final, 21 riders switching Global Champions League squads, two debutant teams, 35 new riders, the highest ever number of female competitors and of course plenty of legendary names.

In the Longines Global Champions tour, riders will be hoping to bag a golden ticket for the LGCT Super Grand Prix at the Prague Playoffs in November.

“Every year the level of competition raises on our circuit,” says Global Champions founder and president Jan Tops. “We saw last year, Peder Fredricson , team Olympic champion and reserve Olympic champion winning the individual circuit. Riders have been preparing for this season for the past two months which means they want to win the championship a lot. It is already difficult to win one leg but to win the championship you have to have a unique horse or horses and a unique rider. Everybody is really focused to win the Longines Global Champions Tour and obviously, we cannot do it without the support of our partners during the year and especially Longines who has been with us for many years.”

Having spent the off-season reshuffling and renewing contracts, 16 GCL teams of six riders, including at least one under-25, are lining up to contest the 2022 championship. The defending champions are Valkenswaard United, who have drafted in showjumping legend John Whitaker (pictured below) to their roster. However the pre-season favourites are the newly formed Stockholm Hearts Powered by H&M We Love Horses, who bring all four H&M riders – world number one Peder Fredricson, Malin Baryard-Johnsson and 2021 GCL Super Cup winners Nicola and Olivier Philippaerts, then competing for the London Knights, as well as young talent USA’s Lillie Keenan and Great Britain’s Lily Attwood .

The reigning Olympic champion Ben Maher is one of the 21 riders to have switched allegiance, transferring from the London Knights to the Paris Panthers.

The Panthers’ team manager Rob Hoekstra says: “I’m super delighted that Ben’s part of our team. Of course, it’s going to strengthen our team he’s one of the top rider combinations in the world at the moment with Explosion and several other very very good horses.”

Jan Tops says of the GCL: “People are now seeing that the format and the League is really working and behind the scenes, people are trying to find the right riders to sign up. It has become like the soccer games where you get these teams working together to win overall. This year we have three new teams and you can see that the new format is really working which is going to be very important for equestrian sport in the future.”

Where does the LGCT 2022 season take place?

The first of the 17 events takes place at Al Shaqab in Doha, Qatar (3-5 March) with some big names in action including previous Longines Global Champions tour Doha winners Edwina Tops-Alexander , Scott Brash , Harrie Smolders and Marcus Ehning , as well as young talent Jack Whitaker , Jodie Hall McAteer, Mikey Pender , alongside leading names Shane Breen , Maikel van der Vleuten, Simon Delestre, Pieter Devos and Martin Fuchs .

The rest of the season runs as follows:

Miami Beach (14–16 April) Mexico City (28 April–1 May) Madrid (13–15 May) Ramatuelle/Saint Tropez (19–21 May) Hamburg (25–29 May) Cannes (2–4 June) Stockholm (17–19 June) Paris (24–26 June) Monaco (30 June–1 July) Berlin (TBC) London (19–21 August) Valkenswaard: 26–28 August Rome (1–4 September) New York (23–25 September) The Finals take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (20–22 October) The GC Prague Playoffs are in Prague, Czech Republic (19–22 November)

Who are the GCL defending champions?

Valkenswaard United secured the 2021 GCL Championship in Samorin, Slovakia, while the London Knights were crowned champions of the third GCL Super Cup at the Prague Playoffs in November. Last year’s Super Cup Final offered €3.5 million in prize-money.

What’s new in the GCL?

A new time-fault rule comes into play this season which could completely change a team’s strategy. “The change is significant, it’s a huge change so now the time fault will become a very important part of the strategy and we know that especially the team competition sometimes the rider is going slowly to be sure of a clear for the team,” said sports director Marco Danese.

Is there a Global Champions Tour live stream?

You can watch the Longines Global Champions Tour season unfold on GCTV.
