Midland Circuit Lelystad

Yesterday I had my second flattrack training this year, oh yeah! Big thanks to Dirk Pieper and the Dutch Brothers for making this possible! The Midland Cirquit track is much smaller than the one in Westerwald in Germany so it took some to get used to it. The new owner of the Midland Cirquit Lelystad made sure we had a good time, great guy!
