Name: Joost Wichman Height: 188 cm Weight: 88 kg Hometown: Lichtenvoorde, The Netherlands Professional since: 1998 (BMX) / 2006 (Fourcross) General career goal: World Champion Food: Chinese and Italian Drink: Diet Coke Track: Livigno, Italy Riders: Rob vd Wildenberg & Merle van Benthem Website: sanderbisseling.com Music: house music I was 4 when I got my First BMX-bike. Since then my whole live revolved around bikes. My mom took me to all the BMX races around the World. I fell, I won and I learned. It brought me dissapointment and succes. It made me the racer I am today. After a succesfull career on a BMX, resulting in 4 National Pro Titles, 2 victories in the European Championship Rounds and a longtime membership of the National BMX Team, it was time for a new challenge. I started my 4 Cross/Mountain Cross adventure in 2006, together with Jurg Meijer. With help from Bernard and Cannondale Netherlands, we travelled to all the European 4-Cross World Cups. We worked hard and we were soon succesfull. Within two years I won the European Championships twice, achieved 7 World Cup podiums and was ranked 3rd in the UCI World Ranking twice. This year I’m competing for the R.S.P. 4X Racing Team. A dream came true. I’m doing what I like to do, full-time! But that’s not enough, I want to do better, every race.
