By finishing 9th overall, Suzuki-rider Kevin Strijbos has done better than expected in the Grand Prix in France. The Belgian had a painful leg after a near crash during qualifying. “I could hardly ride during the warm up for the GP”, Strijbos said. “Doctor Toon Claes really helped me out, he told me that there was nothing seriously wrong, but nevertheless it was very painful. Part of the solution was using the ‘Tense’ pain relief program on my Compex Mi Sport. 9th overall is not what I initially hoped for here, but given the circumstances, I am very happy with this result.”

Kevin Strijbos doesn’t have a very long break to get to full fitness. On June 13 he has a Belgian championship race coming up and the week after that he heads for the German Grand Prix in Teutschenthal.
