Japan’s Mike Kawai won the CSI 5* Ramatuelle/Saint-Tropez McLaren Monaco Class at rocket speed with his Star, Thierry Rozier’s former mare, with which the rider from the Parisian region had also enjoyed many victories. The Japanese rider was the unquestionable winner, finishing his round in 61:26, ahead of Ireland’s Michael G Duffy on My Way B. & V. and the Netherlands’ Johnny Pals with Cukuta. None of the French riders were successful in the class: not one of them jumped clear; Olivier Perreau on GL events Dolce Deceuninck was the best placed rider finishing tenth, the fastest of the four-faulters.
