Back to the cold of Belgium

I’m packing at the moment to fly out of New Zealand to Europe. I’ve had a great summer here and got some good base work done as well. I managed to do some fun races and at the weekend I raced the New Zealand motocross grand prix at Woodville near Palmerston North.

The track was really well prepared with some technical and fast sections. I really enjoyed it. I struggled a bit with arm pump as the practices in NZ are so short and then we head straight into the races. I’m more used to the GP system where you have all Saturday to get into it! Anyhow, I did well winning all my races from Cody Cooper and Daryl Hurley - those two were going fast and I think we put on a good show for the crowd. (check out the pics)

It’s less than two weeks away from the first international in Europe at Mantova so I have to get back and get ready as fast as possible!

I’ll check in later in the week from the cold…

Cheers,

JC.
