Billy Congo had a fantastic year in 2013, After jumping triple clear to finish 4th in the London leg of the global champions tour, William went on to jump triple clear again in Cannes to finish second, and an unlucky pole in the final round in Monte Carlo prevented him winning the class, but another 2nd place finish meant that he moved up to fourth in the global champions tour ranking list, with over £150,000 worth of winnings from the 2013 global tour season alone. William and Billy Congo finished off the summer in style by being part of the Gold medal winning team at the European Championships. He has now just under £500,000 in prize money.
