Weiterstadt was my first weekend again on my bike after my injury in Australia, Friday was cruiser day and I felt pretty good but I couldn't get a good gate over there. I past my moto's pretty easy and won my quarter aswell in my semi I had a bad gate and got 7th so I lost my title :(.. Saturday round 11 I had a verry hard moto but got 1-2-1 past it true my 1-8th and quarter final again in the semi I had a bad gate and couldn't get past the rest on the track and finished 7th again but I raced good all day so wasn't disappointed at all. Sunday was like the same as the rest of the days but this time in the semi i had a pretty good gate but came in touch with Caleyron and was in 8th but in the 2nd turn I got back to 5th place behind Strombergs and in the last straight I past Maris and made it to the main. In the main I had lane 6 and had the best gate of the weekend but this time i lost it on the first straight where I normally won and got in the middle of the pack but in the second turn again I came to 2nd/3rd place and finished 3rd :) so it was a pretty good weekend for me after my injury..

Today was the first time on the track of Adelaide I was in group A, when we started training they where not finished yet with the gate-ramp so we had about 30 minutes free practice without using the ramp. The 2nd double at the 2nd straight was looking big but was very easy to do if you landed the first double smooth of course. When the gate practice came up the first jump was easy but you dont overclear it like Madrid. I made a video but can't update it from here there is a safety thing in the wireless. Hope to update it after tomorrows timetrial.

Today I arrived in Australia, we had a layover in Singapore for about 14-16 hours when we arrived we went to sleep in the airport hotel for about 6 hours and then we went shopping I bought myself a new laptop the Macbook air. When we walked in the city we sneaked in a fashion show (the biggest of Singapore) when we got in there we went to the VIP room and got free drinks and food. The weather over here is pretty good and can’t wait for the racing coming up next week. Here are some pictures of the model show and Singapore.

2 days ago I was on National television called "Goedemorgen Nederland" Good morning Holland, It was a pretty good video with some interviews check it out here, the part with my in it starts after 5 minutes and 50 seconds. Also on tuesday we (Arno, Rob, Roy, Jordy vd Heijden and me) played golf at papendal but when we started it started raining, in the evening we got dinner at "Wok Paradise" a chinese restaurant which was really good and in the evening we went to the cinema "No country for old men" but the movie wasn't that good. This morning I had an interview with the Rabobank for a part in there magazine. Tomorrow we are leaving to Australia with a flight of about 20 hours so it wil be my longest flight ever!! I heard that the world cup will be live on the internet again so keep checking my site for the link.

We are now for about a week in France the trainings has been pretty good and hard today we had to do 6 full laps and that track of Montelimar is long, haha. We supposed to go to Aigle tomorrow but we stay in France because the bad weather in Switserland. We don't know what we are doing this week we might go back home when the weather in Holland is getting better but we are still not sure, tomorrow supposed to be our first national in Luyksgestel but we have to miss that. For the rest my new bike feels really good.

Yesterday I finnaly got my new Redline bike in the 2008 colors with the chrome in the back, and some new products on my bike like the sinz fork new seat and some new products from shimano the RX line.. like the bar, stem, grips, seat , seatpost, etc... I also moved kind of out house i am living in papendal since a month or so right now because we are still training a lot over there like 5-6 times a week and it is pretty hard to ride everyday about 4 hours.. Tomorrow morning we are going to France (Montelimar) for a week and then straight to Aigle for a week training to prepare for the world cup in Adelaide. Last few weeks i felt pretty strong in the training and I can't wait for the supercross in Australia. Check back later for updates from France and Switzerland.

Hey Guys, didn't updated much lately but was pretty busy with training etc, Madrid was for me a bad weekend didn't get any World cup points or UCI points which is important for us to get the Olympic ticket. I felt good all day qualified first to my 1/4th final but in the 1/4th final I over cleared the first jump allot and almost crashed so Madrid was over for me. This weekend is round 7 & 8 of the European championships in Douai France. Also I did an interview on Redlinebicycles couple of weeks ago and today they gonna post it on the famous bmx site www.BMXMANIA.com. keep checking my site for videos of this weekend.

 Zwolle 14-01-08
...............................................................................................................................................................................
Zwolle was a pretty good weekend the track was better then France only the last straight was a little soft.. On Saturday I felt good I had Arthurs Matison in my moto and finished 1-1-2 also I past my 1-8th, 1-4th and semi pretty easy. In the main I had lane 2 but I had a very bad gate and was in the middle of the pack and finished 6th, Sunday was like the same made it again to the main this time with the hole-shot but in the first turn my back wheel slipped away (but on the video it looked like someone touched my back wheel) and went back to 5th place but at the finishline I came back to 3rd. Also some good news that our track (first straight) at Papendal should almost be finished!

This weekend will be round 3 & 4 of the European series in Zwolle, after my crash in France I took 1 week off because when I came back home I went to the doctor and they told me my wrist was broken, a day of 2 after that I went to a specialist in Eindhoven to look if they needed to operate my wrist but they couldn't find any crack and the doctor told me if I wanted to know it for sure they made a MRI scan, but also on the MRI scan they couldn't find any crack. So he told me I could go home and start training again. Friday I will go to Zwolle which is only 45 minutes away from my house.
