Where he only competed in the 500 meters in the World Cup, he also had to focus on the 1000 meters for the NK and European Championship sprints. “I had to adjust something in the training, also because we only rode the 500 meters once in the World Cup. I did more tempo training to simulate those 1000 meters. And that didn’t turn out too bad. I rode at the Dutch National Championships my best 1000 meters ever in Thialf.”
