Jeroen Dubbeldam will not compete in Aachen
In spite of his broken leg is a start for him at the CHIO too early

Jeroen Dubbeldam had in actual fact intended to start competing again in Aachen in spite of his broken leg. However the Dutch rider did have to revise his decision this week. "My leg does feel a lot better again, but unfortunately I established that I have indeed lost a lot of strength in my broken leg. I am afraid it is too early for me to be able to compete at the CHIO Aachen," the Team European Champion commented with regret. Dubbeldam is still hoping to be nominated for the Olympic Games with BMC Up and down. "Jeroen will compete at the CSI Twente in Geesteren, the Netherlands, next week and will try to take advantage of his small chance at gaining a ticket for the Olympics," the Dutch Equipe Chef, Rob Ehrens, commented.
