Homeless Clijisters Searches For Redemption at Marin World Cup

Looking tired, downtrodden and a bit "thick in-the-middle", past Marin World Cup champion and former San Anselmo resident Marcus Clijisters conducted a rare interview in front of San Rafael's St. Vincent De Paul Kitchen Tuesday night.

Cijisters has fallen on hard times after his bizarre foray in professional drone racing. Reportedly homeless and sleeping somewhere on San Rafael hill, the once proud Cijisters has fallen out of the public limelight. That is, until Tuesday.  

"The Marin World Cup is back and so am I! This is what I need to climb out of the dark and moldy hole I am living in. Drone racing was indeed a challenge. I will be a champion once again!"

When asked about his homeless status, Cijisters claimed his San Anselmo home was being "remodeled."  He claimed reports of being homeless were simply "fake news."

Cijisters hopes the fame and fortune, not the modest prize money of the MWC, will catapult him to the top of the profession again. He seems eager to change his ways and again vie for the top prize.

"I have started to reduce my intake of my nightly 40 ounce beers. Sugar is out of my life!  I will begin to train soon, Very soon! As soon as I fix my commute bike."

Past champion Jonas Lodewick, who was seen out with his family outside a Fairfax Coffee house seemed non-plussed by Cijisters comeback.  "I warned him about the drone racing. He will never be the same." Lodewick had no further comment.

Stay tuned as the more information on Cijisters return unfolds.
