On Saturday Jelle van Gorkom announced that he was going to win the World Cup race in Papendal the next day. He did. It was his first World Cup win too. How's that for confidence? We caught up with Jelle to see how he felt after the race.
Congrats on your supercross win in Papendal. Your first World Cup victory? Jelle van Gorkom: Thanks Bart, yes its my first World Cup win, and in front of my family & friends makes it my best win so far!
Did you do any special preparation for this race? Jelle van Gorkom: Not really, we did what we always do before a World Cup. The only difference I noticed with the stands and VIP area is that the track is easier cause it blocks the wind better then without!
It rained hard on Saturday when you guys were supposed to have practice. Would a wet race be better for you since
