When it comes to Zeeland, one name continues to shine: Geert-Jan Meuwese from Lewedorp. On the Morlincourt-Noyon race, he once again showed why he belongs among the finest pigeon fanciers in the Netherlands. His pigeon 2-8494617 clocked at 12:53:24 over 220.668 km, achieving an incredible 1773.857 m/min – a speed race masterpiece.
Conditions were far from easy: a south-west wind, a 10:49 release, and over 3177 pigeons in competition. Yet Meuwese managed to hit peak form precisely when it mattered. With 30 pigeons entered and 19 in the prizes (63%), including 1st and 10th position, he delivered another powerhouse performance. Behind his winner came a stunning series of arrivals within seconds of each other around 12:59 – the mark of true form, driven by experience and management.
“Edith” – The Provincial Queen of Morlincourt
One pigeon stood above all in Geert-Jan Meuwese’s latest triumph — the magnificent NL 22-8494617 “Edith”, a blue-chequer white-flight hen whose performance embodies the winning philosophy of the Lewedorp champion. On the demanding Morlincourt race (220 km), she stormed home at 1,773 m/min, claiming 1st Provincial against 3,177 pigeons and leading a wave of rapid arrivals that confirmed the team’s exceptional form.
“Edith” is not a one-race wonder but a proven performer over multiple seasons. In 2024 she ranked 4th Natourduif SS and 7th Vitesse-duif SS, followed by another outstanding year in 2025 with 4th Natourduif SS and 5th Natourduif Afdeling. Her pedigree reads like a who’s-who of modern performance breeding: from the P. Hengst ‘Pontoise’ line, noted for repeated 1st prizes and precision speed, crossed with the elite Koen Minderhoud & Traas base, reinforced by Harry-Cees (son of Hooymans’ “Harry”) and the legendary Nieuwe Turbo — a national ace in the Fondspiegel rankings.
This powerful blend of speed, resilience, and intelligence has made “Edith” one of Meuwese’s key hens and a future cornerstone in the breeding loft. She combines the sharp burst of a Vitesse ace with the calm durability of a true provincial champion — a hen that wins early, wins often, and wins with class.
Three Provincial Wins in Three Weeks – A Modern-Day Rarity
What makes this moment truly extraordinary is the bigger picture: three provincial victories in just three weeks. In the modern era of pigeon racing, where competition is fierce, weather conditions vary wildly, and even the smallest mistake can cost a top result, such a streak is almost unheard of.
To win once at this level is impressive. To do it three times consecutively across different flights and weather systems requires not just talent, but mastery. It speaks of an entire system in perfect balance — pigeons, management, nutrition, and timing all tuned to precision.
In today’s pigeon sport, where technology and talent meet in a razor-sharp field of competition, Geert-Jan Meuwese has achieved what few can: sustained, controlled dominance. It’s the mark of a true professional, someone who doesn’t chase luck but creates it through planning, patience, and consistency.
The Power of the Olympic Yoni Line
Those who follow Geert-Jan Meuwese know that his victories never happen by chance. The foundation of his success lies in his partnership with Team Van Oss and their legendary bloodline around Olympic Yoni. Back in 2024, Pigeon Boss already featured him in the article “Geert-Jan Meuwese Strikes Gold in Roye”, where he captured gold with a granddaughter of Olympic Yoni.
That victory was more than just a race win – it was a statement. The granddaughter of Yoni proved that Meuwese’s pigeons possess not only speed but also mental toughness. These are birds that win not by luck, but by willpower. The intelligence of Yoni, combined with Meuwese’s eye for structure and balance, built a strain capable of excellence on all fronts.
From Olympic Yoni to New Triumphs in Lewedorp
Pigeon Boss later reported on another highlight: Meuwese’s victory in Lewedorp, where he again showed that success follows structure. His breeding loft carries the unmistakable mark of Olympic Yoni, forming the perfect genetic backbone for both speed and consistency. Meuwese breeds not for the short term, but for durability, intelligence, and recovery — the hallmarks of a professional approach.
What sets him apart is his ability to merge tradition with innovation. He relies on intuition and experience, but also embraces modern feeding, recovery routines, and precision timing. His pigeons are trained under strict rhythm, recover with purpose, and peak exactly when needed. The result can be seen not only in his first arrival but throughout his entire team — consistency across the board.

Pigeon Boss Analysis – The Perfect Storm Above Zeeland
This race captures the essence of modern pigeon racing: vision, planning, and class. Where many rely on fortune, Meuwese creates it. His pigeons are conditioned to perform under any circumstance through careful pairing, balanced feeding, and clear-headed preparation.
What stands out most is the rhythm in his team. A string of arrivals within seconds — that’s not coincidence, that’s form. It’s the result of calculated training and control, a system that runs like a machine. Every second, every toss, every rest day is part of a plan that produces champions.
