In the global warming felt the legs heavy, and it took until about the third round for me feeling better. I could be a twenty seconds head start to build and that was because in the last round I got it heavy.”

“I was still faced with a technical problem, so I’m in the last bit of sand is not until the end could walk. Therefore I lost a lot of my lead but finally I had enough. I think I may say that I the title have earned,” says the new junioreskampioen from Heist-op-den-Berg.

“I have a very good season behind them, I already have six times the chance to win, and then there is always some pressure when you are on a Belgian championship at the start. I am happy with the stress I can handle, had been the conditions as well. It was a hard cross that was at the end of last year on the world Cup is also already the case. After the first round, I thought it would be. Only in the penultimate round when they saw a mistake made, I came there all the way through. Then I thought: ‘now I must keep going to the finish’.”

On the hall of fame, he follows Show Vandebosch. For Bellens, it was the first veldrittitel. The cruisers (U16) in the BMX ” and he was already once Belgian champion. “I can still not really believe. I think it will only trickle down when I get to my parents and friends. Also during the cross, I was not at all sure of the victory. Only in the last fifty metres, on the straight line, I knew that the inside was. Fantastic feeling!”
