tracks. It’s a real shame for<br />
the [my] championship but<br />
I’ve already accepted it and<br />
the surgery is done so we<br />
have started ‘the way back’. I<br />
just hope there will not be too<br />
many problems in the future<br />
with this injury.<br />
It seemed like you hung on as<br />
long as possible this year, like<br />
you did in 2015…<br />
Yes – to the second part –<br />
there was a lot of fluid on the<br />
shoulder so I just had to wait<br />
for two weeks. I tried to ride<br />
before Indonesia and it was<br />
not possible and I knew something<br />
was very wrong at that<br />
moment. When I went back<br />
to Belgium we decided right<br />
away that it had to be fixed<br />
and that was it.<br />
You have raced for many<br />
years and you are a competitive<br />
animal and always seem<br />
to be busy, so what do you do<br />
in a time like this? Is it possible<br />
to relax or does every day<br />
carry some frustration?<br />
Frustration! I like to train and<br />
do things by myself and for<br />
three weeks I could do almost<br />
nothing. It was difficult. <strong>No</strong>w<br />
I can do more things and it is<br />
easier. I can also start to think<br />
about a plan for a comeback<br />
for next year. At least we have<br />
a lot of time now to prepare.<br />
We’re looking forward to that<br />
rehabilitation.
