Riding with purpose

What started as a passion for two wheels has grown into a full competitive racing career — built on years of track time, dedication, and a love for pushing the limits.

I threw my leg over my first motorcycle in 2017 and was immediately hooked. Three years later, in 2020, I took that passion to the circuit for the first time through trackdays — and there was no going back. The combination of technical precision and raw speed was everything I'd been looking for.

In 2021 I obtained my racing license, turning a hobby into a serious pursuit. After building experience and sharpening my skills over the following seasons, 2025 marked my first full competitive season in the Zomer Avond Competitie 600 SuperSport at TT Circuit Assen — finishing 3rd in the championship. That same year I also became a trackday coach, giving something back to riders who are just starting their own journey on track.

In 2027 I'm stepping up with a double campaign: the Benelux BluCru R7 Cup on the Yamaha YZF-R7 and the IDC Pro1000 on the Yamaha YZF-R1, plus two endurance races. Two championships, two bikes, one goal — going faster.
