Comeback in 2025
After several quieter years on the sporting front, during which pigeon racing had to take a back seat to a demanding professional career, Hannes is well and truly back! Anyone who thought this ambitious young fancier had been standing still could not have been more mistaken. He continued to invest in the very best bloodlines and remained determined to make a successful comeback—and what a comeback it has been!
During the winter of 2024–2025, extensive breeding was carried out from Hannes' high-quality breeding loft. The youngsters bred from these elite pigeons immediately proved their worth during the challenging 2025 season. Despite a number of setbacks, Hannes was still able to rely on a strong team of youngsters right up to the final race of the season. A first clear indication of the exceptional quality present in his breeding loft.
Both in the preparatory races and in the national competitions, Hannes' young team delivered outstanding performances. And these were certainly no one-hit wonders, as they are proving once again this season. Week after week, top performances continue to follow, combined with impressive prize-winning percentages—results usually reserved for the very best in the sport.
A glimpse of the most recent results, enough to make any fancier dream:
