Name: Mitchel Schotman
Age: 25
Hometown: Wesepe, Netherlands
Team: National BMX team Netherlands
Did 2021 turn out the way you wanted?
Mitchel Schotman: Yes and no, because the UCI BMX World Cup in Verona was one of my worst WC ever. Didn’t get any good result there and never felt so shit after a race. But after Verona I had my best season ever so far! Dutch champ, 2nd of Europe and one of the best days of the year were the UCI BMX Racing World Championships at Papendal, 6th of the world. Riding my first World's as an elite and then of course my first final was great, but riding a final in front of the home crowd makes it so much better.
With the start of the new year, are you always looking to become a faster racer?
Mitchel Schotman: I always try to become faster every year and we chanced a bit in training.
