Lorry, TBC
Van Gerwen has revealed he plans to buy a LORRY if he should win a spectacular fourth world title at Ally Pally this year.
Although the truck has not yet been decided upon and depends on success in London, Van Gerwen said: “I’m going to treat myself to a lorry [if I win].
“It’s not just about treating yourself, it’s about how to perform well and giving yourself the ability to win that trophy and everything that comes with it.
“I don’t fancy a Ferrari, they are too small for me. I have been sitting in a Lamborghini before and I don’t like it. Not for me.
“But first you have to win, I don’t deserve it at the moment.”
