Meet the Champion of Race 5: H. Van der Linde & H. Bramkamp
9/4/2026
The Hubert van der Linde & Hubert Bramkamp team claimed victory in the 401 km AviRings Derby PRO Semifinal, adding their names to the list of AviRings race champions.
But the team’s success didn’t stop there. Their outstanding performance in Race 5 also earned them the Fancier of Race 5 title and moved them into 1st place in the Master Fancier ranking. Their pigeon is also currently sitting in 8th place in the Ace Pigeon ranking.
An impressive set of results — and a semifinal to remember!
“We entered the pigeons together, but the entire organization is handled by me.
I have been involved with racing pigeons since I was a child. We already participated last year and had one or two results that were quite good. That encouraged us to try to do even better this year.
Regarding the pedigree, her relatives have already shown at other races what they are capable of. I don’t know if there is anything particularly special about her, but she was my favorite, and I bred her myself.
They should grow up healthy and, above all, learn quickly how to drink and eat, especially using the same drinkers as the ones at your loft.
The victory meant everything to us. I could hardly believe it. I wish everyone continued success.”
André Hombeck, a participant from previous AviRings Derby seasons, added another interesting detail about the winning pigeon’s pedigree:
“Pokerface 26 Line. From the same line, the 2nd and 6th OLR Derby in Hungary were won for Karel Jurrisen Team Paloma Blue, and the father comes from my loft.”
Congratulations to Hubert van der Linde & Hubert Bramkamp on this fantastic semifinal victory, and best of luck in the upcoming final races!
