HI GUYS,

8 points in front now. Yea!!  The whole team travelled out to the 3^rd round of the International Dutch Championship to come and help. The guy who brings the big truck ( Lionel Viaene ) gave me a trick new helmet as a present. The track looked awesome, they had put a split section in and also some whoops. You might not believe it but it actually had a hill. I mean you guys who haven’t been to Holland probably are thinking that it is not unusual. But you that have been to Holland know that there is not a decent size hill in the whole country!!!

Timed training didn’t go so well. I eventually ended up in 4^th but had a massive crash.

I thought that it all had to come together for the race and funnily enough it did.

I got an amazing start almost pulling the holeshot and only with Luca Nijenhuis in my tracks. Buy the next lap I was leading and gradually pulling out a comfortable lead.

In my second moto I got another brilliant start and was sat in third. I had Luca again and Jeffery Herlings. I made a good move about ½ way around the first lap and went from 3^rd to 1^st. Then I just gradually edged away again to take the win.

It was a great weekend and now 8 points in front in the overall standings is awesome. It was great with all the team and some of my English friends there cheering me on.

Thanks a lot
