Rigo Lenaers from Vliermaal brings out the big hammer with the young pigeons.
13 Aug 2026
The current season is not over yet, but for Rigo Lenaers from Vliermaal in Limburg, we can speak of a super season. In the provisional ranking of the national championships, he holds the 2nd National Champion speed for old and yearling pigeons. In addition, he can present tremendous results, and now, in the last few weeks, it is the turn of the young talent. Week after week, he dominates the results with a fantastic series and unique new pigeons that he bred this year. Once again, virtually all pigeons descend from foundation sire “Super 485”, who is a grandson of “Olympiade 003” Leo Heremans.

Top pigeons of the past weeks
First of all, we start with two nest sisters, BE 26-5029985 and BE 26-5029986. What these two have shown in the first 3 basketings of their lives is incredible. “985” wins 1-1-2 regionally and beats her nest sister once at the loft, and once they are clocked in the same second. How can you describe something like that and consider it possible? “986” also didn't miss a beat and is therefore made of perfect stuff.
