Luc Herbots from Zepperen has a new superstar in Barcelona with "Athena"
14 Apr 2022
For several years now, when Barcelona is flown in, we visit Luc Herbots in Zepperen, Limburg. Why ? Very simple actually, either he wins the 1st provincial as has happened 3 times since 2011 or he sets a result that you cannot ignore! It is and remains his favorite flight for which he will do everything to get the pigeons at the start in the best condition. And where the last 2 seasons his new top hen "Athena" ensures the beautiful weather with 3rd Provincial Barcelona in 2020 and 9th Provincial Barcelona in 2021. Few pigeons that race 2x TOP 10 Provincial in succession in this classic.
