Gert Rotman (NL) is a fixture in one loft races

19 Jan 2024

Last year, Gert Rotman from Beuningen in the Netherlands won 3 finals of the one loft races. A stunt that is not easy to repeat, he won 3 finals in one month and what is even better is that the pigeons also perform very well in the regular flights in Belgium and the Netherlands. A unique mix of pigeons that can handle both flights. The Rotman pigeons also performed well in the one-loft races in 2023 and they also performed well in the other lofts thanks to this top colony.


Gert is once again bringing a special auction online with brothers/sisters and children of his winners of recent years and children of his best breeders. Anyone who wants to shine on the OLR flights in the coming years will have the opportunity here. Unfortunately, there are no longer any children available from some top breeders because Gert also had to deal with a pigeon theft in the autumn of 2022 where some valuable top breeders were stolen.

In 2023, the following results were achieved thanks to this family of pigeons: 
1st place Final OLR Mira Portugal 2023 
1st + 11th Ace Pigeon Spain 4,824 pigeons 
1st Ace Pigeon General Golden Ring Agueda Portugal 
1st Ace Pigeon Middle Distance Golden Ring Agueda Portugal 
3rd Semi-final Tatry OLR Derby 
7th Final OLR Avi Rings 
7th Semi-final OLR Avi Rings 
9th Ace Pigeon OLR Autostrada Romania

In 2022 he won 3 One Loft races
1st Final OLR Algarve Great Derby 2,063p – 486km (60,000 Euro prize money)
1st Final OLR Autostrada Romania – 435km – 1087 m/min
1st Final OLR Super Star Romania – 420km – 969 m/min
1st Ace Pigeon OLR Autostrada Romania

He already has a good past for the OLR Algarve Great Derby because he already won this edition in 2015 with “Daughter Algarve Couple” and in 2018 he won the 1st Ace pigeon with “White Sensation 662”. In 2016 he won bronze in the final flight so these races are the favorite domain of these pigeons.
