Pablo Valle and Alejandro Gutiérrez repeat their success and secure yet another spot in the podium
This morning Pablo Valle Espinedo achieved the first double of victories of the Coruña International Jumping Competition, when he climbed to the top of the podium in the 2 * Lallier Trophy, with Tresor de Varende. A test in which Alejandro Álvarez Gutiérrez ratified his great moment to achieve his third podium this weekend, this time with Little Chap S. To complete the list of winners was Ignacio Rico from Santiago, with Voyelle du Lesme.
Just like yesterday, the rider from Madrid entered the arena in the final part of the event and stopped the clock in 24.25 seconds, almost a second ahead of the Ignacio Rico mark (25.15). An unstoppable Alejandro Álvarez challenged the clock in his second round, which was the last of the trophy, but stayed in 25.07 seconds, behind Valle and relegating Ignacio Rico to the third place.
Both Pablo Valle and Alejandro Álvarez can leave satisfied with their performance in La Coruña. The Alcobendas have raised two trophies, the Lallier of today and the Marquis de Riscal of yesterday. For his part, the Spaniard has taken the podium in all the events he has competed in: first in the Lexus Trophy on Saturday and second in the Inaugural Trophy and in the Lallier today.
