Zulte, located in the province of East Flanders, is especially known for the beautiful walking and cycling routes one can take there. For the football fans among us, the name likely rings a bell with the former first-division team Zulte Waregem. It is here that our host, together with his wife, manages a pet specialty shop called "Hobbycenter Lefebre Bernard."
Bernard has always been a busy man, but in 2016 he started with pigeon racing despite his limited free time. As the son of the well-known tandem Lefebre – Dhaenens, "pigeon racing" must run in his blood, as Bernard quickly made a name for himself from the very first seasons.
In the 2017-2018 seasons, his "Turbo" made waves in national races, especially from Bourges. Thus, “Turbo” was 1st As Pigeon Bourges in PIPA Rankings with 3 prizes for the '17-'18 seasons.
Every year, one had to take into account Bernard's top performers from the sprints to the long-distance flights. However, the 2022 season was truly a phenomenal year. We summarize the most important achievements of that season for you. Note, this is about one season, a record that most of us can only dream of after a whole pigeon racing career.
