Margriet Kloppenburg

After a weekend without racing, as I wasn't selected for worlds, I was looking forward to the races in Lille and Hoogstraten. Especially the course in Lille I was looking forward to. But on Thursday morning (2/2) I woke up with flu-like symptoms. I hoped that an easy day would fix things, but on Friday I still wasn't feeling much better. As I really wanted to race over the weekend I did a little testride on Friday - but that only confirmed my fears. No riding on Saturday. I left the decision about Sunday open until Saturday. Even though I did feel a lot better I decided then that racing would not bring any good.

Monday I was back on my bike and did a good ride. Also yesterday I did a good session and I am confident that I will be ready for the coming weekend! On Saturday I will race in Middelkerke (Belgium) and Sunday in Heerlen (Holland).
