Tétouan, Morocco – October 03, 2026 – On the eve of the Grand Prix of Tétouan CSI 4*-W, the pressure stepped up a notch on Saturday at the Royal Guard arena, in front of packed stands. The intensity gradually built throughout this third day of competition, culminating in the €57,000 Fête de l’Unité Prize CSI 4*-W, a 1.50m Longines Ranking class and the final major event ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix.
The highlight of Saturday’s competition was the Longines Ranking class contested with a jump-off. On the course designed by Gregory Bodo (FRA), the 30 combinations had to contend with a particularly tight time allowed. Only three of them managed to produce a clear round and secure their place in the jump-off.
Yuri Mansur (BRA) and Incanto VDL ultimately came out on top. The Brazilian completed his jump-off in 38.17 seconds, edging Simon Delestre (FRA) and Oh Sissi (38.30 seconds) by just thirteen hundredths of a second. The French pair had already claimed victory the previous day in the Grand Prix qualifier.
Roberto Previtali (ITA), riding Conthargo-Blue, completed the podium.
Yuri Mansur: “As soon as I saw Simon’s jump-off, I really focused on sticking to the plan I had in mind because he had been very fast. Simon is always dangerous in a jump-off, so you have to be careful. I’ve had Incanto for a year now. He has always had a lot of quality, but he was a little cold and had learned to jump in a certain way, which made him a bit slow. But he is an incredibly intelligent horse.”
