Three gold medals at the European Championships, including one in 2005 and two bronzes at the 2004 Athens Olympics (individual and team) feature among the list of wins of this German rider who had eleven international victories in 2012 including two at the World Cup legs in Zurich and Gothenburg. His former stable colleague and champion Ludger Beerbaum says about Marco that he has never seen a more talented rider, a gift he seems to have received at birth. After riding several years for Ludger Beerbaum, Marco started his own business with his partner Eva Bitter. With Cornet’s Cristallo, the son of his former ride Cornet Obolensky, Marco recently won the World Cup in London Olympia.
