Hannes Benny (Geel) wins 1st Nat (z) Libourne 553 old birds

31 Jul 2025

In the national race from Libourne, Benny Hannes won both 1st provincial and 1st zone with his top pigeon. This cock was also 1st Ace Pigeon of the Month Long Distance in our Herbots Championship last month. A true star in these races.

Most of the pigeons come from Ludo Dams, who races under his son's name. Benny wants to thank Ludo very much for the excellent pigeons he received. Ludo had to stop racing a few years ago due to lack of time, but fortunately, this breed is now continuing at a different location. Ludo and Benny will be waiting for the pigeons and providing advice.

This winning cock has already clocked up quite a few kilometers this season and is clearly not tired yet. In five national races, this cock is the 5th best in our country. So, there are few pigeons that can handle this rhythm and the tough races, especially at this distance.
