The native of Jura was thus the dominant figure of the weekend. In the saddle on Is-Minka, he had already triumphed in the Championships on Saturday.
Eleven pairs had reached the jump-off, and Guerdat remained clear there too. In 42.21, he was just over a second faster than the second-placed Frenchman Simon Delestre. The second Swiss starter Bryan Balsiger on C-Mistral finished in 19th place after a knockdown.
Guerdat's victory in the ninth of 13 qualifying tests for the World Cup Final in the USA in April earned him a further 20 qualifying points and he is now the best Swiss rider in tenth place with 29 points. However, the Olympic champion confirmed at the CSI-Basel that he will not be taking part in the World Cup Final overseas this year due to the heavy strain on his horses.
