Continuity After Montargis – Domination Is No Coincidence
For those who have been following Team Cleirbaut, the triumph in Noyon comes as no surprise. Earlier this season, Kris and his family already delivered a masterclass at Montargis, scoring 1st, 2nd, and 4th Provincial against 7,277 pigeons – a performance that shook the region and proved their system works on every level. As detailed in our earlier feature “Kris Cleirbaut Family – Montargis Domination”, this was not a lucky strike but part of a consistent winning pattern. With their latest success in Noyon, they underline once again that the loft is in full champion mode – from provincial battles to national glory, from distance to speed.
