Boyd Exell (AUS) won the fifth leg of the FEI World Cup™ Driving 2012/13 held in Geneva (SUI). Exell stayed far ahead of Tomas Eriksson (SWE) and home driver Werner Ulrich securing his third victory of the season. After five competitions the four-time FEI World Cup™ Driving champion is in second place on the series' standings and is certain of a starting place in the FEI World Cup™ Driving Final in Bordeaux (FRA) next February.

German international course designer Falk Böhnisch had laid out a fast and technical course in the beautiful arena in Geneva, the biggest one on the FEI World Cup™ Driving circuit. The water splash added a wonderful dimension to the course, which was appreciated by both the competitors and the enthusiastic Swiss spectators who had come in large numbers to the Palexpo arena.

A little nervous
Boyd Exell faced different opponents in Geneva compared to those in Budapest last weekend, only Theo Timmerman (NED) having made the trips to both the Hungarian capital and the Swiss city.

In the first round Tomas Eriksson (SWE) scored the fastest time and put Exell under pressure. The Australian stopped watching Eriksson after he had taken the first gate of the first marathon obstacle and knew his opponent was in for a good round. Exell went back to his carriage to concentrate on his own performance and was a little nervous as he entered the arena. He however drove a clear round finishing four seconds ahead of Eriksson.
