I like to tell something about my new injury. I know what you think… Injured again? Yes, I'm getting tired of it as well, but it's the way it is! Last week I was back in training at the Olympic Training Centre Papendal for the last UCI World Cup race (Supercross) in Canada (coming up next week). During practice at our Supercross track I made a small mistake because the wind was really strong that day! Before the big triple I didn't know what to do because of the wind and somehow I didn't do anything. I came up short, hit the landing and finally smashed into the first asphalt corner.
As you can see in the attachment, I broke my collarbone and also hurt some ribs and my back. Tomorrow I need to go to the hospital for a surgery. They will put a metal plate and some screws on my collarbone and hopefully that's it.
Later this week I will let you know how I'm doing.
