With a fifth place in a 1.45m ranking class in Oliva, Lector vd Bisschop started the 2023 calendar year well under Koen Vereecke. It bodes well for the rest of the season.

For example, Looks Good de Liebri Z impressed with a fifth place in a 1.40m class under Kevin Jochems.

Vigo d'Arsouilles), also resulting in many clear rounds.
