Above pics from the Belgium Indoor Champs




At the end of Jan my dad took me back to Belgium to defend my title as i won both days last year.


This time loads of riders from the UK went with at least 8 from my own age group it felt like an english national .


The track was different a lot smaller and very very soft i travelled with my friends from my track Cam and Owen we had loads of fun on the ferry .


After a long day travelling we practised on friday night i felt ok but not very fast but my dad told me what and where to pedal and after an argument as i dont like like listening to my dad !!!! i tried again after i had my special power food (((chicken nugs from Maccy Ds )))) and felt a lot better and looked ok said my dad.


Saturday racing


The entry lists were posted and just under 5o boys in my age so a good turnout .


I won all my races upto the semis when i went into the first turn with my friend Tino and ended up on the floor so no final for me i was gutted .The races were running so late it was straight to bed my dad didnt even stay to watch the finals .
Sunday Racing
After a few changes to my bike by my dad (he said i would be faster today )i started my motos and won them by a good way i was flying today i felt like i could win, my first straight was topps !!! i just pedalled everything.
Quarters again i just nailed it and got a flying gate and won .
Semis i had drawn with Euan a fast UK rider who has been winning a lot in the UK ,so i was a bit nervous my dad just said there was nobody faster than me down the first straight so just do what ive been doing all day and ill be fine ,riders ready watch the !!!!i was out and gone i won it by the length of the last straight ,,,,this final was mine !!!
It was going to be between my friend Tino and me ((harry tinos dad said it would be a good race between us )).
Final Time
I had first pick Tino 2nd pick so i picked 8 which was on the inside and Tino in 7 so i knew i had to get out quick,so guess what happened next i got out the gate and came off both my pedals AAAARRRGGGHHH i couldnt believe it the just rode off and i just rolled round crying i knew my chance was gone all day i won everything and then in the final off both pedals like that UNBELIEVABLE at least my mate Tino took the victory and well done to my mate Dan from the UK who made his first European final and came 4th to boot well done Dan !!!!
A big thanks to Martijn Scherpen who came up and gave me a cuddle and said he felt sorry for me in the final as he said i had looked really fast every race and said i would win next time .
Good luck in America Martijn wish i was racing in America again (i will have to get Mom and Dad to take me again)
So thats it really no more races till April when i will be competing in the Euro Rounds that will be tough as i am the youngest age but im determined to make a semi this year which would be really good over there.
A few new sponsorships are dealing with my dad so im not sure what bike i will be riding so for now ill stay on my Gunslinger which is a top ride,
got some time off now for a couple of weeks cant even train that much as its snowing really bad in the UK .
