After the Turbo Cross, the legendary cyclo-cross race in which Rob got famous Belgians slogging through the mud, Average Rob and the Allianz Memorial Van Damme are now joining forces for the Turbo Sprint. Eight (European) content creators will go head to head in the iconic 100-metre sprint, on the same track where the world’s top athletes will be lining up moments later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI’ve been doing a lot of long distance races lately, such as the IRONMAN and the Marathon des Sables,\u201d says (Average) Rob van Impe. \u201cBut actually, I\u2019m a born sprinter. I\u2019m short, explosive and was always the fastest in my class. I\u2019m very curious to see if I\u2019ll be the first to cross the finish line here. This is really more my thing. Turbo turbo, give it everything. I\u2019m very honoured that we get to do this as part of such an iconic competition. After that, it\u2019s up to the real athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confirmed: Rob\u2019s brother Arno The Kid will also be running. Together, the brothers will catapult out of the starting blocks under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators and a multitude of TV viewers and social media followers. There will be no Diamond League trophy for the winner, but eternal fame among the fellow creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
