Katharina Offel and Cathleen won the Championat der Signal Iduna in Dortmund Saturday afternoon. The 1.45 class was divided into eleven groups with five riders in each group, and the best rider out of these five made it to the jump-off. Another three "lucky winners" also qualified for the jump-off, and these were the best three riders overall except for the winners of every group.
Kathi and Cathleen (Cordobes x Ramiro's Son) were first to go in the jump-off. With a fantastic round she got a time of 27,95 seconds that no one managed to beat. Andreas Kreuzer, Felix Hassmann and Marcus Ehning were all faster but had one pole down on their way to the finish line.
The one to get closes to Kathi's result was Jeroen Dubbeldam on Utascha (Lux x C-Indoctro) who was half a second slower. Third place went to Marc Bettinger with Zydoctro vd Kapel (C-Indoctro x Landwind) at 28,89 seconds in the jump-off.
