Team Noel Willockx (Aidi) takes the crown
It was Team Noel Willockx (Aidi) from Belgium that claimed first place. Their pigeon BE25-6035328 arrived at 16:22:55 and secured the prestigious victory with a lead of more than six seconds.
This triumph is no coincidence. Since launching their one loft race project in 2022, Team Noel Willockx (Aidi) has built an impressive record:
1st Ace Pyramids International OLR 2022
1st Grand Average Dubai One Loft Race 2024
1st Final Europa Master Pigeons OLR’s Friends 2025
1st Hotspot 4 (215 km) AS Golden Race 2025
B.25-6035328 “EMP FARAO” — winner Final Europa Master Pigeons OLR 2025
B.25-6035328 “EMP Farao” of Team Noel-Willockx crowned itself winner of the Final of the Europa Master Pigeons One Loft Race 2025, about 450 km, at 951 m/min, after a demanding route over the Carpathians (±2,300 m). This young ace comes from a golden cross: on the sire’s side the Farao dynasty (Super Son Farao × Farao Xerox, with references up to 1st Nat. Brive) strengthened by Diamond Boy blood; on the dam’s side the Porsche/Hattrick line of Karlo Van Rompaey and PIPA Elite Center (with national top results), while the dam herself scored early prizes (Noyon and Quievrain). The outcome: substance, orientation and feather quality coming together at the big moment—a final specialist with proven breeding value for speed and (tough) middle distance.

Pigeon Boss view: Final victory from a top cross Farao × Porsche/Hattrick—exactly the profile for front positions in tough conditions and immediate breeding value for speed/middle distance.
The strength of the bloodlines
On the father’s side, the very best of the loft comes forward. Farao’s Mother is the dam of the 1st Ace Pyramids OLR Egypt and grandmother of the father of this final race winner. She is also grandmother of National Farao, 1st Nat. Brive, 1st World Best Pigeon, and 2nd Nat. Ace KBDB. The 1st Nat. Argenton winner National Blue Favorite also belongs to this elite family.
On the mother’s side, we find a strong inbreeding to Hattrick of Karlo Van Rompaey and the famous Porsche line, further reinforcing the genetic strength.
