Team Eijerkamp in Belgium winning 1. 3. and 10. etc. Provincial 514 km. against 3.038 pigeons, releasing was at 07:15 in Bourges (514km), the speed of our first pigeon coming back home was 1.349m/m.
The challenge to race in Belgium was a dream for Oliver. Now with the experienced racing team from Andre Roodhooft Oliver makes a very succesfully start in his first Belgium Season 2026.
Interview with Oliver:
“It was my first time racing National basketing, and it was a really tough race. In November, I moved from Holland to Belgium to race for Team Eijerkamp in Belgium. Two weeks ago, we competed against almost 5,000 pigeons. We didn’t really have a chance with the pigeons going to the coast, but we won what we could win here, 1. Toury Union Antwerpen with Miss Toury against 4,933 pigeons and that was already amazing (read the article here).
I also won 1. 4. and 12. National in the Zone B2 against 3.404 pigeons (Bourges 514km.) Another day, another win!
Racing and winning is my passion. This is exactly why I left my home in Croatia ten years ago to go work for Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp in Brummen. I had a beautiful decade here racing under the name Lotte Eijerkamp. To make the step to Belgium is something I talked about for a long time with Evert-Jan. That he always believed in me and offered everything for me to go to Belgium makes me very proud. I’m very happy that I could compete in this race today because I really wanted to win this one. It was not easy at all, but that’s what makes it worth it.
For the Argenton race in two weeks, my goal is to perform well there too.”
The complete team in the Netherlands is very proud of Oliver doing his very best in Belgium and we want to go visit him as soon as possible. Ofcourse we will share this with you, keep following us.
