Rossi takes his 100th victory!

The connection with our project may not be obvious to everybody, but we really do want to share this with the rest of you. Valentino Rossi took his 100th GP victory during the 79th Dutch TT in Assen. Your Criss CrOz team was on site to witness this historic event.


This edition of the Dutch TT was one for the books anyway as it featured the last showing of the 250cc two stroke class that will be replaced by the Moto 2 class next year (600 cc four stroke). Also, this year saw the premiere of a dedicated Valentino Rossi stand at the Assen track. Guess where we were seated…

A good time was had by all! (On our stand anyway…)

Time flies

Time flies when you’re having fun, but time flies really fast when you are really busy… In two months we will be getting on a plane destined for Singapore. Huub will have to do a hop to Amsterdam and back, but for Annemiek the long trip will have started. Only two months, it’s shorter than it sounds and it sounds short…

Fortunately, our preparations are moving along at good speed. Satellite telephone and emergency beacon have been ordered and we have picked up our flight case (which is huge!!!). We also had our first taste of dirt by completing our off-road training. Next week, we hope to pick up the last bits of our gear at Ten Kate and then we can start fitting our luggage.

Also, the number of supporters has been growing steadily. We are receiving quite a few gifts that had been promised, but occasionally we have some real surprises. Either way, a big thank you to all!

Because of all the donations, our site is updated at least once a week. But the supporters page isn’t the only one that keeps changing. Last week, each and every page was modified, corrected, updated or improved. New partners and links were added on their respective pages. Other changes are somewhat more subtle, sometimes designed to make it easier for us to modify pages in the future. So, stay informed by keeping an eye on our site!

More to follow shortly!
