Topper "Michiel" from Marc and Geert Pollin

They are very rarely born and then we are talking about pigeons that compete for a national victory in two seasons. One of those "white blackbirds" is undoubtedly "Michiel" from the well-known West Flemish long distance champions Marc and Geert Pollin from Snellegem.
"Michiel" B21-3052027 is without any doubt the best Agen flyer of the last 2 seasons because 2 years in a row he reaches out to the national victory but twice he has to recognise his superiority in another pigeon. But despite this, "Michiel" is and remains an exceptional performance pigeon !
Who is not impressed by this palmares:
Agen 2022
1st local 535d.
2nd Provincial 1,820d.
2nd National 7,331d.
3rd International 16,932d.
Agen 2023
1st local 432d.
1st Provincial 1,337d.
2nd National 5,851d.
Geert says: "We have to tell it like it is, the 2023 season had a more difficult start for our widowhood team. Not that we achieved bad results, but the real top flight was not really there. Reason? We suspect the cold and wet spring did not allow the forme fairy to enter our lofts. But since the days became longer and warmer, the forme level of our widowers also went up, with as a provisional highlight the top performance of "Michiel" at Agen. 
Not unimportant detail, his nest brother was clocked as a 3rd arriving Agen pigeon and smoothly won the 26th National Agen. 
Seeing that, we know that we also have to take great care of their parents and those are "Roi" x "Daughter Blue Barcelona".

 

"Roi" B19-3015100 first showed his class on the long distance races himself as his palmares are adorned with, among others 
3rd Nat (z) Limoges 1,418d. - 83rd National 17,356d. 
3rd Nat (z) Limoges 568d. - 67th National 6,986b.
3rd Nat (z) Chateauroux 2,185d. - 55th provincial 5,555b.

"Roi" is a full brother to winners of:
2nd Provincial Jarnac '19 against 1,139d.£
3rd National Jarnac '18 against 5,371d.
8th National Angouleme against 5,030d.
10th National Angouleme against 4,525d.
59th National Libourne against 3,176d.

Remarkably, the children of "Roi" also performed very strongly, which is why he was allocated a breeding box exceptionally very quickly. A golden move A yes... "Daughter Blue Barcelona" was purchased from Van Haeken-Petre. Their "Blue Barcelona" won top prizes from Barcelona 4 years in a row. Those who play Barcelona know this is not that simple. 

It is to such breeding couples everyone is looking for or not?

 
 

And what will "Michiel" fly in 2023? 
That is not 100% certain yet, will it be Narbonne or will he go to Perpignan. There will be much discussion about this I fear. 
Marc and Geert, "Michiel" perfectly reflects the class of the Pollin pigeons and we wish you lots of success.
