The Dutchman dominates the H5 class with an iron grip. With 4 Paralympic golds and multiple World titles, he sets the bar sky-high. Mitch combines brute strength with a perfect aerodynamic position.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Like his colleague Tim de Vries, Mitch demands specific equipment. The massive torque generated by his arms would bend a standard chainring. Mitch rides custom rings from The Mechanic Parts because he demands stiffness. Every acceleration must count. Our rings ensure his gigantic wattage converts instantly to speed\u2014crucial for someone used to the top step of the podium.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a phenomenon in the handbiking world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8238,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[417],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-riders"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Valize-Uitgelicht.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8408"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8409,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8408\/revisions\/8409"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coers.themechanic-parts.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
