Darren Kirkland returned to top form yesterday in a nail biting race on the canal at Hasselt in Belgium. As he and Australia’s Chris Stout raced side by side in gruelling canal water, he pulled ahead and notched up a convincing victory, just weeks before the world championships.
Stout took 2nd and Belgium’s Dimitri Bertels took 3rd. Former observer for Darren, Matthew Northover said; “it was an incredible race between Chris and Darren. Darren was on top form and skiing like he used to”.
Darren told me; “it’s a result for the over 40’s“.
