“I’m not saying that I’m putting the sport in second place now or that I wouldn’t try to give it my best. If I say it ugly, my wife is used to my absence. But children take it worse.

I am of the opinion that when one thinks about something excessively and is afraid of it, it happens. So I let it flow and I believe it will turn out well.

His partner Michal Krčmář spent the whole 7 weeks away from home. He wants to save energy and due to the epidemiological situation he would also not like to risk contact with his family.
“It’s rough, some 47 days away. But this is not the first time, I’ve tried it a few times over the years. I’m not the type to be devastated. Weeks and races are then in quick succession, “says Krčmář.
