Yoeri Havik comes from a cycling family. His uncle is the great six day Danny Stam. He started racing when he was nine years old. he raced all over Holland. He says he didn't really start to win until he was around 14 years old. By the time he was 16 he was racing with the Dutch national track team. At 17 Yoeri began training with his uncle Danny and travel internationally to race. Between the ages of 18-25 he focused on the road but the track was always lurking.

Over the years Yoeri has won 24 national titles. He's even won a European Madison Championship  with Jan-Willem Van Chip. And recently he won the points race at the world championships.

In this episode Yoeri and I spoke about his training leading up to worlds, his big win and what's his next big goal.
