DT1 Dash for Cash Lommel: decision will be made tomorrow
Extreme freezing temperatures have ravaged all of Western Europe in recent days. With the DT1 Dash for Cash Opening Cross in Lommel coming up in five days, we checked with spokesperson Leon Van Gestel. The key question was: 'Is there a plan B?'. “No, we don't actually think about that at all. We continued to prepare for this match as we had planned in advance. Last Thursday we also decided to make the decision on whether or not to continue the match on Wednesday. There's no point in panicking. Moreover, it would have been fatal if we had canceled the match too early in advance while conditions could still evolve favorably in the following days. That would be doubly bad because we now also have a great field of participants at the start. Of course we don't want to cause disasters either, we just have to wait and see.”
“Unfortunately, postponement does not offer a solution. Just look at the international calendar, it will be packed with Valence and Mantova, Marival La Capelle and Hawkstone Park in the coming weeks. The first free Sunday would in principle be March 4, but that coincides with the first ONK, which means we will lose all Dutch riders. So that is not what we want.”
