Saturday 15 August | 189 days since the crash | 136 days in rehabilitation. It has been some time since the last update and many people have been asking how Kai is doing. We’re super pleased to report that Kai continues to make strong progress in all aspects of his rehabilitation. It’s Saturday 15 August today and we have just passed two key milestones. The first of these was 29 July which is Kai’s 24th birthday, this is highly significant because there was a time when we were not sure he would see his next birthday at all. The second important date was 8 August — exactly six months since Kai had his crash.

This year the Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships Dutch Qualifier will take place on September 26th in Roosendaal. If you win, you can qualify for the world final in 2021.
A combined edition
Due to global restrictions worldwide, the Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships have taken the decision to cancel this year’s edition, which would take place in Leogang on October 9. Instead, Velosolutions, Red Bull and the UCI have decided to combine the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Sponsors: Staats Bikes, Ciari Parts, Centrano, PC Racing, SkatePro, Skive Elite
Mechanic: Myself (And my dad once in a while)
How do you like the looks of your current bike?
Dorte Balle: Honestly I like the red frame I race at the moment the most! I’ve raced some other colors as well but this one is the one I like the most. Especially with the black parts, make it looks really good!
Is it a challenge each year to get a good racing bike together for the new season?
Dorte Balle: I’ve been racing for Staats Bicycles the last 4 years and they have given me the opportunity to have a new bike and parts each year which I'm so thankful for!
Name: ANDREA ESCOBAR

Mechanic: LEO, from @ciclotales store he is the best! And when I'm not in Colombia, my boyfriend, Romain Racine is my mechanic! He is always helping me with my bike! I don’t know what I would do without him! But he is always trying to teach me how to do my mechanic by my own! But there are things that are just a little too complicated to do haha! But I’m getting better every day.
How long have you been riding for GW Bicycles?
Last 2 days of my road trip to France. Where I rode at Romain's backyard, Pernes les Fontaines and Montelimar.
