The Stoppelcross MX season has kicked off with the first race being held in Handel, Noord-Brabant. It had rained loads but on arrival the track looked okay. Preparation for the race had been shitty, with only 3 MX sessions in 2012 and the Red Bull Skylines happening the week before. On Saturday morning we rolled out of the Paris club at 6am, slept for a couple of hours and drove back home. I packed the van that night and got up on Sunday at 6am to go to Handel. It was a challenge making it to the first race.
