On Saturday Sept. 23rd celebrated in Lugano (Switzerland), the last EHC 2017 race, where both all Rio de Janeiro Paraolimpic champions and world champions, as well, participated. It was tough for Hans Van der Heijden.
The race of more than two hours was at the shores of Lugano lake become a beautiful scenario to celebrate the 10th position achieved by our friend Hans, in the general classification of 2017 European Handbike Circuit.
For second year in a row, Hans gets a deserved 10th position over participants with much more experience and youngers, but not as tenacious as Hans.
The top speed of Han´s bicycle in flat ground was 44 Km/h, which really was a record for Hans being very proud for this: “ I feel both very happy and proud of participation with all these Champions for another year”.
Hans remains an example of perseverance and effort for all of us. We are proud to be partakers of his sportive career.
