Saturday in Gothenburg: Can Willem Greve & Highway TN N.O.P. Go Back-to-Back?
Willem Greve & Highway TN N.O.P. return to defend their title in the Gothenburg Trophy.
The Gothenburg Trophy presented by Volvo Cars has a history of producing world-class winners, and in 2024, it was Willem Greve & Highway TN N.O.P. who claimed victory with a win margin of just 0.43 seconds. Now, they return to defend their title against a stacked field.
With an Elo rating of 747 at the time of last year’s win, Highway TN N.O.P. proved their class by defeating a world-class field. But no pair has won back-to-back Gothenburg Trophy titles in recent years, making the challenge even tougher.
Past winners have often needed an Elo rating above 690 to secure victory, with champions like Daniel Deusser (Calisto Blue), Henrik von Eckermann (H&M All In), and Ludger Beerbaum (Chaman) all reaching this benchmark.
With top contenders like Maikel van der Vleuten & Beauville Z N.O.P. (Elo 794) and Max Kühner & Elektric Blue P (Elo 772) leading the predictions, Greve will need another exceptional performance to retain the title.
Can Highway TN N.O.P. make history and go back-to-back, or will a new champion emerge in 2025? We’re set for a thrilling showdown in Gothenburg!
