Aelbrecht and Erik Limbourg: Two Years in a Row the Best of Belgium by Stefan Mertens |
||||||||||||||||||||||

It
is not the first time that we make for SiegelPigeons.com a kind of "double
interview." The reason why we choose this is easy to explain. Two fanciers
succeeded in winning the same national championship in 2005 and again
in 2006 ! To be once the best of all the Belgian fanciers is already a
"big thing." To be - in a whole pigeon career - twice or more the best
of Belgium is superb, but to win two years in a row the same national
championship is a performance of an extraordinarily high level. To do
better is just not possible! The two fanciers we speak about are Marcel Aelbrecht from Lebbeke and Erik Limbourg from Brussegem. In 2006, we wrote a report about each of these fanciers, and since their system hasn't changed in one year's time, I would kindly ask you to go again to these reports and to read and study everything about the systems of these two top fanciers. In this report, we will cover only certain performances. I'm convinced that the combination of this report with the earlier ones will make the whole more than just interesting!

Marcel: To become general champion KBDB of Belgium, you have to take the best eight prizes with your first nominated bird. You have to take two prizes of a very long distance race, three prizes on a long distance race, one prize with the yearbirds and two with the youngbirds. This is always on national races, and you can only take the national or zonal racing result. Marcel continues, "My 1st nominated birds won the following eight top prizes and made me general national champion": B01-4174049 244th national Barcelona against 11,802 old birds B04-4019936 156th national Carcasonne against 3,911 old birds B03-4316087 50th zonal Limoges against 2,796 old birds B03-4316087 18th zonal Cahors against 1,916 old birds B04-4019932 12th zonal Souillac against 2,304 old birds B05-4130421 45th zonal Limoges against 5,571 yearbirds B06-4044540 495th national Bourges against 26,984 young birds B06-4044531 248th national La Souterraine against 13,965 young birds "And what about the national championship long distance?" Marcel: For the national championship long distance, you have to take the best three results with 1st and 2nd nominated old birds on national races. You can take the results out of the national or zonal racing results.
Please be aware of the fact that Marcel Aelbrecht has only 19 widowers (including yearbirds) and about 60 youngsters, and is often called "the fancier with the little basket."Find more information about this topic in the previously written article. "Erik, can you give some more information about your national ace-pigeon 'Lucky 085'?" Erik: Certainly. "Lucky 085" is a very nice blue cock. As a youngbird he was already the primus of my loft. He became national champion with following three results: 10/06 AURILLAC NATIONAAL 4° - 6,611 b. (coeff. 0.060) 684 km 24/06 BRIVE NATIONAAL Zone 28° - 2,780 b.
