Without a doubt the people at Papendal are a professional bunch. When they called for a press conference and we received the invite, it was time to get up early on the Sunday and head towards Arnhem for the showdown. At 9am, the big room at Hotel Papendal was filled with interested people. A wild guesstimate would say 70 people showed up indicating that it was time for BMX fans to come together after not much happening over the past 5 months. People from the city, the fastest BMX Racers from the Netherlands and the organizing committee of the 2021 UCI World Champs to be held at Papendal, explained the importance of the event and the struggles that Covid-19 is bringing in getting the job done.
