It is time to raise the bar significantly on PigeonBoss.com. We are traveling to Vremde, the beating heart of Belgian pigeon racing, where the combination of Jos and Lars Vercammen has dictated the laws of the sky for decades. When you talk about pure dominance from 100 to 800 kilometers, you are talking about the Vercammen Standard. Today, we shine the spotlight on a unique phenomenon that is rare even in a top loft like the one in Vremde. Meet the full brothers Turbo Elektro (BE24-6087111) and his equal BE24-6087071. These two powerhouses showed in 2025 that winning is not a matter of luck but a result of superior genetics.
The Birth of a New Era
What makes these two cocks so special is their background. They were born just ten days apart from different nests, yet they share the same golden blood. They are grandsons of the legendary Elektro (BE08-6174630), the foundation sire who has influenced modern pigeon racing worldwide. Turbo Elektro and his brother carry their grandfather’s legacy with visible pride. They share the same paternal blood as the famous El Muro (BE21-6138214) and are closely related to Maété 2 (BE23-6062110). For those who might have forgotten, Maété 2 crushed the competition at National Bourges by being the fastest against no less than 19,188 pigeons over a distance of 505 kilometers. This is the caliber we are talking about.
The Numbers That Make the Competition Tremble
The results in 2025 on the short and middle distance races were simply staggering. Week after week, Turbo Elektro and the 071 proved they possess an extra gear.
Turbo Elektro (BE24-6087111):
2nd Provincial Ace pigeon KBDB Short Distance
1st Noyon (208km) against 573 pigeons
3rd fastest Provincial Noyon against 6,566 pigeons
1st Melun (310km) against 275 pigeons
2nd Provincial Melun against 650 pigeons
6th Noyon (208km) against 772 pigeons
The 071 Brother (BE24-6087071):
1st fastest Noyon Antwerp West (208km) against 4,490 pigeons
1st Noyon against 2,239 pigeons
4th fastest Provincial Noyon against 15,495 pigeons
3rd Noyon against 772 pigeons
4th Noyon against 573 pigeons
9th fastest Provincial Noyon against 6,566 pigeons
The System Behind the Success
Jos and Lars leave nothing to chance. While others reach for artificial interventions, the team in Vremde believes in the classic approach. The pigeons must perform on their own strength. The system is built on first class nutrition, working closely with partners like Versele Laga to keep their athletes in peak condition. This natural approach ensures that the birds are not just fast, but also resilient and healthy throughout the grueling season.
Warning for 2026: The Storm is Coming
The competition is officially warned because the 2026 season will be defined by these two brothers. Why? Because the Elektro line is known for the fact that pigeons grow stronger as they age. In 2025, they were still young, but in 2026, they will start as mature athletes with an indestructible winning mentality.
When pigeons as yearlings already leave thousands of competitors behind, the physical peak they will reach in 2026 is terrifying for the rest of the field. The combination of the speed from the Spartacus 999 line and the stamina of Pink Elektro makes them virtually unbeatable in any type of weather.
In Vremde, they do not play just to participate. In Vremde, they play to rewrite the history books. The message is clear: watch out, because the Vercammen Express is thundering across the flight lines in 2026 harder than ever before.
