In both time trials, Fields went flat out. “You cannot ride scared. That is when you fall. You have to ride as hard as you can, then you are going to be alright. This definitely gives me confidence for tomorrow."
Crain wins Time Trials Crain surprise winner Brooke Crain was the fastest amongst the Elite women. She won her first big price in BMX Supercross and was very happy.
"It was a really good lap, I felt good the whole way. I really had a good first straight and kept that feeling the whole way around. I was trying not to tag anything and keep it going. I feel really good. This is exciting! I never won a time trial or anything. Yes, I did when I was a junior, but that does not count,” Crain commented after the race.
Crain outperformed current world champion Mariana Pajon (COL). Pajon who crashed in London finished second this time. Arielle Martin (USA) was third. Pajon is on her way back. “Yeah, I was happy with my time final trial, I did everything I could. I am still recovering from injury. This track is awesome, happy to be here again. Tomorrow I will do my best. In London, I got some broken ribs and I hurt my kidney. But I am feeling good. Tomorrow will be a big day, we will see what happens.”
