French riders reigned supreme in Vigo, Spain tonight where quintessential horse-master Michel Robert pipped fellow-countryman Kevin Staut to win the eleventh leg of the 2010/2011 Rolex FEI World Cup™ Jumping Western European League series.  In a contest that challenged mental strength and strategy as well as jumping ability, it was Robert who kept the coolest head to capitalise on his late draw.  And his delight in the success of his mare Kellemoi de Pepita was something he couldn't suppress.  "She jumped fantastic in both rounds - I'm so very happy with her, she was super!" said the 62 year old veteran.
