Together with his father, Gregory Wouters, Kailen has spent two long weeks in full preparation in the Netherlands at first, and then in France. This was to ensure that he could compete to the best of his ability in the Global Bike Cross competition in Nantes, France.
This was definitely a unique experience for young Wouters, as it was his first time participating in a global BMX competition on a professional track, let alone in front of such a huge audience. Despite all the pressure, he performed spectacularly and managed to place 5th in the Boys 8. Kailen’s family has always supported him, especially his mother Marellys, the rest of the family, his coaches in Aruba & America as well as his other Rough Riders companions.
Kailen closed off this chapter beautifully and this experience in Nantes was only the beginning. We would also like to honor all the former BMX riders who have gone abroad to participate in other World Championships and who managed to achieve great things: Jobert Reyes, Zaithyel Soekandar, Bryan Elisabeth, Aschwin Dabian, Ischwar Martin, Random Koolman, Shanayah Howell, and Valerie Simon.
