02ND OF APRIL

2 years after Rio de Janeiro 2016, World Para-cycling Track Championship was scheduled for comeback.

Magic double 2018 2 years after Rio de Janeiro 2016, World Para-cycling Track Championship was scheduled for comeback. All the hype up, success and parties sprung up from memories. The journey was epic. This time, the journey was awesome too. Full on alternative training tailored and supervised by Kyleigh Manners and Tom Kirk started deep in December 2017. Artificial wall and ice climbing aided overall fitness while gym developed muscle volume and strength. The base was completed by cycling training camp on smooth spanish roads. At this point I was aching to get on my track bike. Kyleigh created an elaborated plan. For me it was simple. Pedal to the metal and I might have a chance to borrow rainbow for another year. Dream came true on 22nd and 24th of March 2018. The magic double, Silver medal in 1km TT and Gold in 4km IP. The finish all of us hoped for. In my mind the result is a big THANK YOU to all my sponsors and coaches. I believe we have started journey we all remember forever. Next challenge, Tissot UCI World Championship 2019. Because together we can change the world.
