On the way to Rio

After some indecision the last few days because of my knee pains, I finally left for Rio today. During my last test today I had no pain and I hope to come through the Games well. I have seen a lot of my doctor and physio the last few days and we debated a long time as to whether I should give another cyclist the chance to start. But together we decided that we will give it a go.

I am now looking forward to my second Games and the very special mood at the Olympics. I will report again from Rio.
