Wow… that was something else. Racing among the pros today felt unreal. The speed from winner Philip Heijnen and runner-up Yoeri Havik was absolutely insane — a whole different universe.

Let’s just say it was a healthy reality check 😅
But honestly, what did I expect in a field full of Olympians, World Champions, and National Champions — most of whom are young enough to be my son?

After scraping my way into the final through the first qualification race, the pace in the final was full gas from the very start. For me, these races are too short, brutal, and intense — but also incredibly fun together with my pacer Edwin Smeulders👌🏼

Starting last, I was more than happy to cross the line 7th overall in Alkmaar. I’ll take that!
