34 INSIDER<br />
A champion<br />
at home<br />
2008 MX1-GP World Champion David Philippaerts let Insider take a look<br />
around his almost-finished new home in Borgosesia, just north of Milan.<br />
When the 25 year old isn’t training hard or travelling to the 16 rounds<br />
that make up the Grand Prix series he spends time with his girlfriend Alice<br />
and two dogs at this quiet retreat…<br />

1. Dancing with the Wii: “We bought a Nintendo for the house this year and it is good<br />
fun but I am very competitive. If I am losing a game then I also tend to lose interest!”<br />
2. Sorting out the emails: “Alice looks after my website and also answers emails. She is a<br />
big help for many things and I would be lost without her.”<br />
3. In the garage: “Like many riders I keep things from my career whether it is number<br />
plates, helmets or trophies. I also like to be tidy so the place for the practice bikes and<br />
tools is always clean.”<br />
4. With the car: “Alice brought me a radio-controlled car for my birthday last year and<br />
I have become a fan of these toys. Sometimes the weather is not the best where<br />
we live but taking the car out for a spin is good fun.”<br />
