Unstoppable Leprevost rides to victory on home soil.
Penelope Leprevost has won the Lyon leg of the Longines FEI World Cup 2015/2016 much to the delight of her adoring home crowd.
For the French horsewoman, it marks her second win from the three legs of the season so far and once more she did it with her super mount Flora de Mariposa.
The duo continue to go from strength to strength having starred in Aachen earlier this year and winning the Oslo leg of the World Cup- where the French riders took a clean sweep of the podium.
It may be early days, but the French riders led by Leprevost have laid down a marker for the World Cup season and shown their determination to play a starring role.
