“Martin and his father have showed interest in Aron since Pau and we have thought about their offer for a long time,” explains Els. “Aron is 15 years old and has not reached his top yet. I have always been taught not to forget to say yes sometimes. It is bad for the sport, but he is at his place with Martin and I am happy for him. I hope that he will get the most out of him. Aron is in very good hands at Riant where he is based no wand Martin is very happy with him. It hurts, but I could not have sold Aron to anyone better.”

Els Broekman is currently training a full brother of Aron, the 11-year old Sam: “Sam is beginning to get there and I believe he can reach the highest level. We will compete at several small indoor events this winter to get some speed and strength. Next season I will start with him at some lower level combined driving events to see how he develops.”
