It was an incredible day at Hulst. I first met Niels as he walked off of the team bus ready to warm-up for the race. He is as warm and kind as his smile is, which made the experience enjoyable. Niels warmed up next to his friend Cameron Mason, and they discussed the upcoming race, Niels excited for the rainy conditions and technical course. He said he was ready to win his first elite world cup, and what a premonition as he took the lead at the start and kept that til the end! This was his first elite world cup win! I feel honored that I got to be a tiny part of this special day. A big thank you to Niels for this collaboration! See my blog post for more photos from Hulst.
