Latest news! We are sorry to have to share the news that Maurice has to withdraw from the race due to and old injury.
In his own words:
Unfortunately, I have some very bad news, due to an older knee Injury that recently flared up after a fall during training and severe pain at a training competition this weekend I and my supporter have decided not to go forward with the race.
I talked to my doc and there is a significant risk of severe damage if I keep pushing for prolonged times, and I’m not willing to take that risk as I’m just getting started and want to have many more nice years of competition.
I’m really sorry I have to cancel this close before the competition and we didn’t take the decision lightly after all the training and preparation that has gone into the race already.
It only remains to wish Maurice good luck in his recovery. Cheer up!
This means that 44 teams will finally be at the start in Hondarribia.
