Interview Brent Vandoninck
This Sunday the second ShoX competition in history will be held. This unmissable event on the motocross circuit of 'Circuit Zolder' can count on the participation of Jeremy Delincé, Kevin Fors, Freek Van der Vlist and Cyril Genot this year! In addition, Brent Vandoninck will also be at the starting gate of the ShoX on Sunday.
Anything but obvious after what Brent has been through in recent months. The young Kempen resident suffered a cerebral infarction at home about two months ago, during his training exercises. He felt that the TV playing was gibberish and so was his mother, to whom he could not answer.
But the first symptoms subsided for a while and then struck again. Brent Vandoninck: “I then went to the garage to look at my motorcycle and the radio was playing and I got the same feeling again. I didn't understand anything coming from the radio. When I wanted to tell my father this, I couldn't even form a sentence in my head.”
The Vandoninck family, somewhat panicked, rushed to the emergency room in Herentals where a serious diagnosis was made. A cerebral infarction, fortunately it was quickly controlled with, among other things, blood thinners and dramatic consequences were avoided.
However, research revealed that the hole between the two halves of the heart, something that affects one quarter of the world's population, was a contributing cause. A 'minor' operation via the groin was necessary to close the hole with an 'umbrella'.
This operation is now three weeks behind us and Brent Vandoninck is using the ShoX program, with its short series, to return to competition! In addition, Brent Vandoninck also told us: “I'm also looking forward to putting an electric motocross bike through its paces!”
We wish that ShoX can be a great season ending for Brent!
Anyone who, like Brent, wants to end the season in a fun way can register until Sunday!
