Some lofts don’t just participate in races; they show up to set the rules. Over in Paal, Belgium, sits one of those absolute powerhouses: Comb. Geukens – Bauer.
At the absolute core of this winning machine stands one phenomenal speed monster: Romulus (BE22-5088495).
“Basketed seven times as a young bird, seven times pure dominance at the top of the race sheet.”
7 Races, Pure Dominance: The Racing Record of Romulus
Bred and raced by Francis Vanhamel before moving to the breeding lofts of Markus Bauer and René Geukens, Romulus showed exactly what he was made of in his debut year. Basketed just seven times as a youngster in 2022, he delivered results that most fanciers spend a lifetime dreaming of.
His impressive track record speaks for itself:
1st Soissons (226 km) vs. 2,861 birds
1st Momignies (138 km) vs. 1,106 birds
1st Momignies (138 km) vs. 692 birds
2nd Momignies (138 km) vs. 3,282 birds
2nd Soissons (226 km) vs. 3,185 birds
4th Momignies (138 km) vs. 662 birds
This unprecedented consistency earned him the title 1st National Ace Pigeon KBDB Speed Youngsters 2022, with the ultimate crowning achievement: 1st World Best Pigeon KBDB Speed 2022.
The Pedigree Behind This Breeding Jewel
Class at this level is never an accident; it is the result of generations of targeted breeding for pure speed and determination. The pedigree of Romulus reads like a blueprint for elite performance.

A top-tier sire who has bred countless 1st-prize winners.

The Partnership: René Geukens & Markus Bauer
Behind every champion stands a well-thought-out strategy. René Geukens brings decades of experience, passion, and daily devotion to the loft. His secret weapon? A deep bond with his birds, built by spending hours in the loft every single day. That mutual trust gives his athletes that little extra drive when the church towers of Paal come into view.
In combination with Markus Bauer — the administrative mastermind and founder of Amazing Wings — a well-oiled formation was born. Together, they have built a loft that attracts fanciers from Germany and the Netherlands to Poland, Kuwait, and China.
