W
e have the
first NPO
races coming
up, and Peter
Janssen has
already made
clear that he
has plenty of
talented birds in his racing
team. He won a 1st & 3rd
Charleville from 22,503 pigeons
and a 3rd & 8th Laon from
20,235 pigeons, and these are
just a few of several top results
in recent weeks.
Peter Janssen leading the race,
it is starting to become a
common sight, but that does
not make his achievements any
less impressive. He amazes his
opponents time and time again
with marvellous results, and he
has had some very successful
races again this season. We take
a look at the first six races of
2018, taking into account only
his very best results.

(43/50)We think there is a lot to be
expected from this team in the
upcoming middle distance and
one day long distance races. We
now take a closer look at the
pigeons that have had their
share in the team's most recent
top results. These are just a few
examples; we expect this list to
become longer and longer as
the season goes on.NL15-1451880, 1st Bierges
