Final stage of the LGCT stop entering the decisive moment

It’s day three of the Longines Global Champions Tour in Miami Beach, Florida, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and the excitement is building ahead of the second stage of the circuit and the decisive team trial, while the two CSI5* were completed yesterday: the 1.45m time-trial and the 1-50m jump-off. 
In the latter, only 58 pairs got passed the qualification round, with Dutch rider Maikel van der Vleuten, riding VDL Groep Arena C (Indoctro), leading the pack ahead of Italian rider Alberto Zorzi, on Fair Light van T Heike, with a fast time of 33.09 to take home the win. British rider Ben Maher, on the 10-year-old Do0n Vito, finished third, while Beglian Nicola Philippaerts, on H&M Harley vd Bisschop, came fourth. 
A second Italian completed the top five, Piergiorgio Bucci, on Alicante. The Italian rider had to see off stiff competition from German Daniel Deusser, on Cassini Bay, to take fifth place. 
In the time trial Qatari rider Bassem Mohammed, riding 12-year-old Argelith Squid, claimed top spot, ahead of American Kirsten Vanderveen, on Bull Run’s Divine Fortune, and Bertram Allen, on Izzy by Picobello, who finished second and third respectively.
