Main Sponsor

|
SABIC Europe is my main
sponsor. Until 2006 I was working as a process engineer at SABIC,
a petrochemical company in the Southern part of Holland. In the
last few years I did combine my job with triathlon on elite-level
and SABIC did help me a lot by giving me the flexibility to go
abroad for training or competitions. SABIC is a sponsor of
the Triathlon Stein as well, one of the two large long
distance races in Holland.

clothing Sponsor

|
Mulder Sport is the
Dutch representative for Newline sports clothing. Newline is
perfect for triathletes, since they have nice and specific
running-, cycling- and triathlon-clothing. They also supply me
with Yankz elastic shoe-straps and are
representative for Sailfish wetsuits.

| Bike Sponsor

|
Isaac is already my bike
sponsor for years. I have rode their "Joule", the
"Aerotic" and in 2011 I was involved in development and
testing of their new model "Muon TT", which is amazing.
As always with Isaac the bike is stiff, aerodynamic and (important
as well) looks good.

| Running
Shoes Sponsor

|
Newton running is a new shoe
brand, introduced in the USA in 2007. Their shoes are light and
suitable for middle- and fore-foot running technique. The result: 3.06 marathons in Ironman Florida
and Hawaii and 3.07 in Ironman Arizona and Switserland. I love these shoes!

| Supplement
Sponsor

|
Extreme Endurance is a new
sports-supplement, introduced in the USA in 2008. Tests with this
supplement are very promising and it proved also to work for me: I
do feel fitter, have better recovery, less muscle-pain after heavy
races and I set a personal best in my first bike-test only 4 weeks
after I started using Extreme Endurance. Definitely perfect for
top-performances!

| Wet-
& Speedsuit Sponsor

|
Mulder Sport is the
Dutch representative for Sailfish wetsuits as well. This year, I
will be racing with the top-suit "G-Range". I love the
wetsuit because of is shoulder-flexibility in particular.

| Wheels Sponsor

|
Legends is the Dutch
representative for Xentis wheels. Since the ideal racewheels for
competitions are light, stiff, aerodynamic and very beautiful, I
am riding on full carbon Xentis Mark 1 TT wheels. Or on the Xentis
Squad 4.2 if these are more suitable to the course. To be able to
brake well on carbon rims, Legends also do supply me with
Swiss-stop Yellow King Carbon brake pads.

Anglodutch is the Dutch
representative for Schwalbe tires. This year I will be racing with
their new top tire Schwalbe Ultremo ZX.

| Saddle
Sponsor

|
Fizik is one of the most
famous brands for high-end saddles. Fizik is an Italian brand,
which can be seen from their eye for details. Apart from being
very comfortable, they also look very nice. My bikes are equipped
with different versions of the Fizik Arione Tri 2; the most
lightest carbon version is very light and stiff, but still remains
very comfortable during my rides.

| Ceramic
Bearings Sponsor

|
The Belgium company C-bear
has a wide range of ceramic bearings for the bottom bracket and
for wheels. Thanks to their support I hope to gain some free time
on my bike. They are also sponsoring the Belgium Pro cycling team Silence-Lotto.

| Hartrate
Monitor Sponsor

|
Robijns is the Dutch
representative for Suunto hartrate monitors. I'm their ambassador
for the T6, an excellent training tool for du- and triathlon since
you can extend it with a bike pod, a foot pod and a GPS pod for
distance- and velocity measurement next to heart rate monitoring.

| Compression-wear
Sponsor

|
SLS3, or SLS tri, is an
innovative company in compression wear. They have kits for racing,
training and recovery. I love to wear the compression socks in the
days before an Ironman to keep my calves fresh for race-day.
