Day by day Jordy is making steps forward but also sometimes steps back. He is a fighter and we still have hope. Jordy’s age, 17 years old, and his good physical condition could be a big factor in helping him recover from this racing accident. Today (Friday’s) situation is that Jordy is making more and more steps forward every day since the last operation. Jordy’s brain is showing a lot of activity, he is reacting a little bit in the last 24 hours and the medical team are positive about his chances to recover.

In given the circumstances our thoughts are also with James Puttrell who is also fighting for his life. We would like to wish James Puttrell and his family all the best and lots of luck they need for James’ recovery. Keep on fighting James.

Since the race at Brands Hatch we have stayed in London with Jordy. It is unbelievable to experience every day the support from you: The BSB-community, Team G&S Racing, riders, people from the series organisation and circuit, the medics, marshals and especially the fans of the BSB, thank you all for your great support these days. We never could expect that massive support for our son in his first round of his first race in his first season in the BSB. “Never ever give up”, we as Dutch people now really know what that phrase means in the UK.

A special thanks to the MSVR BSB medical and management team, the HEMS London Air Ambulance and The Royal London Hospital. From the moment of the crash they made very fast, the right decisions in very difficult circumstances. As a result we still have every day the feeling that these first hours were decisive for the life of our only child. It shows that these people are professionals at the highest level. They are there when you need them and then they make the difference by working as a team.

One day we will visit Brands Hatch to thank all those people personally. Let’s hope that on that day Jordy is the first to shake their hands and to say to all of you: Thank you all for your great support.
