World number one rider Martin Fuchs instantly left his mark on the Frecciarossa Milano Jumping Cup 2022  at the San Siro Racecourse.

The 29-year-old Swiss rider, recently back at the top of the FEI ranking, rode an impeccable round on The Sinner, his top horse at this CSI4*. “It was a good round,” he said, “and I have a good chance with him in Sunday’s Grand Prix.”

Switzerland achieved an ‘en plein’ thanks to its other ace rider, Steve Guerdat, who finished second riding Dynamix de Belheme, with third place going to Austria’s Gerfried Puck riding Equitron Melody vd Smidshoeve. The best Italian rider was 66-year.old veteran Roberto Arioldi who finished sixth riding Chiclone.
