Anneke Beerten: “World cup victory….and the Overall title!!”

by Tanja on September 17, 2007 in News, recent with No comments

Quoted from Annekebeerten.com:

“Last night it was all or nothing for me. I had nothing to lose in this race, I was 40 points behind Jill for the overall title so I knew I had to win from Jill to get this title.
I was feeling pretty good on this track and the first 2 turns were really important. I won my quarter final and also my semifinal…. Jill went out in the semi final. I still had to finish top 3 to take home the overall title. In the final I had Jana, Melissa and Mio on the outside from me in the gate. My gate was good but also Jana and Melissa had good gates.
I was in 3rd coming out of the first turn and I set up the second turn high to maybe make a move. Jana and Melissa were low in the turn and were both unable to do the second turn properly, they both went in a bit to fast, which left a gap for me to use and pass them…after that it just was a big adrenaline ride down to the finish.

I don’t need to tell you that I am extremely happy to end the ’07 season with my 3rd world cup win this season and the world cup overall to go with it!!!”

Congratulations Anneke, it was a long time coming and you deserve it! Next time bring a rainbow jersey on your way home!

Great day for riding with great friends

Last saturday we got shouted to a beautifull sunny day. We had planned to go out and ride in Berg en Day, so this was a huge bonus. It had been so long since we last headed out together, can’t remember really… Anyway, the trails where in excellent shape, but we didn’t take that many pictures (ride first).

tdbnl_wetter_230907.pngI’m stoked that I’m going to Winterberg next sunday, Ilja is joining me, Reinier is thinking about it. Don’t think we’ll be that lucky with the weather again, eventhough this picture here looks like another present… fingers crossed.
