Race: Oranje boven in Canada. Smulders and Van Gendt win the final World Cup. Pics by Ken Paul.

Last night we followed the World Cup Supercross BMX finals on the internet. It started at 10pm here and took us in the night, but with Robert de Wilde doing well in his last race it was hard to switch that computer off. Robert made it to the semi finals and Merle van Benthem, Laura Smulders and Twan van Gendt cruided into the final 8 race. While we were behind the computer, our friend Ken Paul was taking care of the photos and came back with a great selection of action shots from Canada.

Following the race into the finals wasn't invain. Dutch riders Twan van Gendt and Laura Smulders won the final World Cup race of the 2012 season.

It was up early this morning to bring you the news and the fresh pics by Ken. Just packed the bag to go to Interbike. See you all there.
