But no worries, I found the time to go fishing a few times. I love fishing and I am becoming pretty good in it as well. I am also going to be in Genova Supercross this weekend to support Chad (Reed)!
As everybody saw it went well Saturday at the Motocross of Nations, I fought with Ryan (Dungey) for the victory. But then on Sunday in race one it went wrong in the first corner. I didn’t see the mud on the inside and I crashed. I started in last and rode like 'everything or nothing', my lap times where close to the fastest lap times from the guys in front and I was passing five riders a lap, than I went to fast into a corner before the downhill and the bike threw me again and I made a big crash. I saw my bike was broken and I could not restart. I didn’t feel the pain in my hand directly but the pain got worst by the minute.
I really wanted to ride that third race both for team Italy because I let them down, but also for myself. I love MXON and I always give myself 100%. Last year I even had to fight until one week before the MXON to actually race! That made it that I arrived there unprepared and also this year (after what happen to me and my family, my mom died a week before the Nations) I was there and ready to race and I think that shows how important this MXON is for me. So I got an injection before the third race and I started, but it was still too painful to ride. After moto three they made an X-ray of my hand and saw that I had a fracture my scaphoid and ulna.
