Who knew in elementary school all that

to me it was clear cycling is
have brought up
at age 11, I received a
road bike with black and white
comfort Dakhla and was from then
I love
I wanted nothing more and every free
hour I had
I spend together on my bike with my
father or only by the head of
North Holland
in the week and I had part-time jobs
cyclists and expensive sport and I
my father with my father to the
agreement that I even though my part
contributions and all the animals new
business in North Holland were
my father and I sort of
parks we looked in the windows and we
we hoped that the best day ever
could buy bike
Who among you find much support
of parents
I always have a lot of support
encountered with containers I think at
a young age is the support you
so essential to my father bought all
young age
I allowed myself a scooter but
how know already bought my scooter and
as he came out of his work, he went on
the militia and I know there back
it was the bike the bike and not otherwise
I was hooked and
it worked a little work each year
bit better and at the age of 16 17
age I could measure myself with the
world
as only a problem that
age would you have right
enjoy and quietly into the future
look
but I will as soon as possible professional
it was never fast enough
Who of you ever made mistakes
Well I have, I’m a man with a man
flesh and blood
I’ve made enough mistakes
I have a book about last year
and written a book so full of errors
I wanted much
and I want to fast maybe I wanted
or too much or too fast, and afterwards when I
so back, I popped in a world where
I but I was not ready for docu
blind
and I never had the edge cases
of cycling thinking hard
choices and quickly at the beginning of my
career
I feel like I turned onto downhill
The road was still come quickly to myself
and I was no longer able to
brakes
at this stage of my career is that
disastrous
I calm the top of the climb in the
holes must keep and I had him quietly
must climb and I had my will
Time to give if I myself there
come across
Fifteen years ago
I would have been like 17 years on
this picture
I would tell him thomas
what are you doing
This is the best sport there is you
are blessed with a unique talent
cherish this, go for it with diligence to
You’ve come this far through the support of
your parents
which do not leave those people holding
close your way to the top
is not a straight road is a road full
Turn twists on and off and you
should not be blinded you
you should not be blinded by your
spotlight appearances cream
moment, which one of you patience
I take even a sip of water because I
have actually very little patience and
to me it is counterproductive
I was at a fairly young age I was
okay I was 17 when I first
the Worldcup
and was winning from that moment for me
normally works in the adult world
it is generally not in the
large wheels world
work it out so maybe if I
Thinking back, it is naive
I thought that was within the norm rather
neighbors and actually a sport where
almost always everyone loses
I still had all the great talent that
time for me to do what week
I remember a case I may
finally internship will run at large
professional team and the queen rich
for
I believe man or six and there is another
large Dutch cyclist
myself, the team and drive away and we
have a nice hole
We continue to move on and he says
to me thomas you may mountain today
winning points
and I remember that I thought I would
not that mountain points in some
I have to do with such a mountain jersey
Today I want to I want whiter today
win the race and 10 kilometers
d by the end but erik
I look one more time and I will
no return
I’m a big lead
this competition
I still see my
throw my hands in the air I’m
happy but I know one thing
at night I go to bed and I think
a thing
I want the World Cup to win the World Cup two low
two weeks later in Verona
when I look back now, I just wanted
Lake
I just wanted more more more
I’m actually not that
raised where does this urge come from me
come from a perfectly normal given the
head of North Holland
I have a sister and basically we
choke off a pretty sweet fun
education had yet to already fairly
young age
I drifted away from the base I did not enjoy
but more extreme behavior was
and I had only one thing I was
happiest on bike
the physical and mental satisfaction for
to get there was my drive my
drive in order to gain even more
and when I look back I see at once
person a person lost in a
maze and it can not come out
in life
you have several love
to me it’s my great cycling
love
This sport is in my DNA but soon
I fell into a downward spiral
this coil cost me my sport
costs may not only my
sport relationship with my parents
family my sister
They saw everything from a distance and they
worried and increasingly
We were actually removed from the
warm family where I actually look
came from
I do not know if the boy thomas
listen
but the choices you make
impact on young age
the rest of your life
the choices that you can not
turn you should be aware of your
itself a wheel career lasts long
you are young you are impatient and you
are restless I remember in 2005
My first year pro
I can round italy rows round
italy
yes it is a dream come true
and since my first race thereon
driven in the juniors a few years
previously I was in love with this country
women pastes cars
I loved Italy instead of this
round to take Italy as my
first major round myself patiently on
set
I let my blind
two months for calculation stage race in
northern France test
international
I won the queen stage and I know the
all day with a large
Favorites for this jiro
At the end of the day we
sprinted
a climb of one kilometer or
three and I win
but two months later, it looks very
different
in the round of Italy are different
I want laws blown away like a
daisy in the wind
time to go in there actually still
nice but I do not see it
last week I think crying under the
shower on my own with the fever
blisters on my mouth and I wonder
What is going on here
if I could speak thomas
the week of italy round would
I tell Thomas when it’s come good
there are dozens of great kissing rounds
200’re with you all the latest
entrant participating
this round must start planning in
future
Your potential is achieved than you
are only 20 years old you going herein
to grow
the end of the chiro
I’m on the 70th place and I have under 30
let riders behind me who more
to experience
older than I but have faith
your time is also
I made a big mistake at the
choice
with the manager I surrounded me
I should have chosen a manager with
kept quiet which kept my mirror
you would say summery years time will come
have a career you have to plan
Step by step they should kiss
be prepared
career should be planned and I
Thomas said to tell Needs and
best sports in the world
I always dreamed enjoy here
this round have fun
no white pants is the first major
round like the pink jersey
listen to the people around you
people you love and who
to be patient
When I was 21 I thought it was time to get out
fly
I left for Italy away from a hot
nest stability that I had every day
known to my parents my sister
let me preface myself
have been responsible for the
choices I made
when I look back I was a young guest
in terms of age, I was an adult but
was not prepared for what
were all that came to me
I found it very easy for me to
surround yourself with the wrong people
people who were successful in the
cycling the people who stood guarantor
success
they had the same vision as I
cycling city in
transition
and actually afterwards and I might
or three years become prematurely prof
I would tell you thomas
it is difficult for the sensible way
choose
the sensible way is often not the
fastest way but you find out
the values where you are
it grew
which your people that matter to you
did not apply in this world
I would recommend long home
stay you should enjoy this
stability and love because you know
thomas
these people were there they were
close to you
The parents were your true friends
if your sister
they were not interested in money
status or fame, and if I think back
I have people hurt you grief
what they have not earned
I would also like to warn that
a hard sport is a world
where you can burn easily
you should carefully with this love
handle
you’ll grow up and this sport
to love so much and where you mostly
the fun has to leave central
Thomas is a hard way to
become yours
I hope you can out of your way lessons
draw I got in all the pitfalls
anywhere you can step in
I have faith and patience
perhaps most importantly
have fun, I’m all done with now
and this is my sister give Photograph
I also think everybody knows it
the
midlife crisis thirties dilemma
I’m ready for the rest of my life
and coming to and in thoughts
physically you everyday
I’m just now a lot wiser
and stronger and finally I would
against Thomas say
it ready for the next step
and now look forward to the rest of your life
You’re 32 years old, I have a
really beautiful women and dear sister and
a great family and lots
good friends
thank you
[Applause]
