Navigating through change

The past couple of weeks has been a real rollercoaster. So many questions have popped up; Are we racing soon? When? Is it fair? What is best for the sport? This year is challenging in so many ways. One of them is the ability to reset and rethink. Planing to change the plan. But a good plan is a bad plan if it can’t be changed, right?

During the past week we have had 2 race cancellations of our World Cup. Which is our biggest series of races in xc mountainbike. that means we are down to only 2 rounds (both held in Nove Mesto Na Morave). This year sucks, honestly. There is still smaller races on the calendar here in Europe, but none of them is in the same league as the World Cup. Beside the races in Nove Mesto, we will also have the World Champs. Worlds is hosted by Leogang, which I had looked much forward to, but as the situtationen is developing it starts to feel strange. Are we going to have a world championship without the whole world able to compete? ​

​The other night I drove through Barcelona with Loic, we saw the statue of Columbus. And Loic was like ‘The Navigator!’ (in a prober french accent, hah). And it made me think. We have to be great ‘navigators’ this year. There are plenty of waves and obstacles on our way, but if we are smart, and keep on taking that, ‘step back’ to see the bigger picture, I’m sure we find our way. ​

I kept this blog short. But if you are curious on more ‘normal life’ I started a Vlog - the first episode will be online on Youtube tomorrow! It's a channel where I will try to take some videos now and then, from my life. It’s my first vlog so please bear with me, hah, the editing and Iphone footage might not be the best, but it can only go one way from now, no? It will be online this Sunday! So stay tuned!!

Stay safe. And ride on.
