TRANSIT

From Lombardia to Lecchi in Chianti, a distance of 560 kilometer, with only 2 days to complete it. If would love to say there was a specific reason to make it this difficult, or some vague idea about sacrifices and the end of a career. But to be honest, I just wanted to say hi to my manager João after my last race and I needed to be back home in time for my son’s birthday.

Transit tells the story of the ending of a career and the start of a new one. With my friends Dennis Bruin, Stefan Bolt and Sam Oomen, we celebrated my last race day as a pro, we toasted to the victory of Bauke Mollema and we rode our asses off to get to Chianti in time. The suffering and the joy of getting there in one piece is captured in the movie TRANSIT.
