The 1. of dec I got pre-christmas present

The WC in Koksijde, which was a race I really had looked forward to ride went okay, if you only focus on the first 2 laps. I had a good start and found myself among the top 20, the legs was ok compared to that I had been sick the whole week up to the WC, but after the second lap my legs exploded and I couldn't keep the speed, so I droped down to a position around 28. In the 3rd lap I had a major superman crash where I had really hurt my "chest bone" against a fence. I ended up as nr. 31, still not a satisfied results, but the first two laps is what I'll be taking with me.
After the WC we drove directly to Nederland w
here next days race - the Superprestige Gieten were held. We were ca. +35 riders at the start linie. After a good start I soon found myself among the top 15, and surprisingly the legs were better then expected. Round after round I rode the course better and better, and I manage to leave the group and start chasing my first top 10. Throughout the entire last lap could I see the 8 place just riding a few seconds in front of my, but I couldn't close the cap, so I ended up as nr. 9, which was really nice.

Last but not least - a big thanks to Jørgen Dyrvig and Luc for the great pictures.
