Thank you for everybody's support during the 2010 season. It was not always an easy challenge, but overall we learned a lot during the year and we achieved a few podiums and even a race win in Portugal. Now I will take a few days off during the Christmas break before work resumes at the Autosport show in January. I hope to announce my plans for the 2011 season soon!

I'm in Japan now following Kimiko's efforts at the Toray Pan Pacific Open Tournament in Tokyo. Yesterday she beat Sharapova in a 3 set thriller and that was a nice birthday present that she made herself just a day before her 40th birthday! It is amazing to see her move around the court at incredible speeds and Kimiko is clearly a living proof that aging doesn't necessarily mean deteriorating!
I lived in Japan since 1994 and my first 4 years I lived in Gotenba, which is located near Fuji Speedway just at the bottom of Mount Fuji. But even though I used to ride up the roads leading up to Fuji or occasionally run partly up the mountain for training purposes, I never thought about walking all the way up to the top. Until a few days ago...
The short break after the Brno race is over and we resume testing in England next week. In the meantime I have been training in Monaco, mostly on the bicycle and gym. It's a fantastic coincidence that we are testing in England, since Kimiko will play in Wimbledon next week as well. Her injury seems to be quite good now, the only problem is that she hasn't been able to play a match since the French Open.
After the race in Brno I immediately left to be able to attend Kimiko's match in Paris against former number one Dinara Safina. It was a long drive, but I made it all in time and it was a good job I did. The match that we were able to witness was just amazing. Kimiko played with a calf injury and even so made the impossible possible and won the first round in Paris. That match for sure not only gave myself a lot of inspiration and motivation, but also everyone that witnessed this epic duel.
