UCI BMX Supercross round 1 in Chula Vista. By Raymon van der Biezen.
I’m not too happy about the way I was racing last weekend, but I did what I needed to do to get my Olympic Nomination… During my stay in California last week, my body felt recovered from all the training/ traveling activities the last few months and my wrist was okay, so I was looking forward to race the first UCI BMX Supercross of the season in Chula Vista, USA.
Our first practice on the SX track was Thursday. To be honest, I felt kind a slow on the track and wasn’t a big fan of the side wind that was pretty strong that day. Practice on Friday went way better, because most things went very smooth. Unfortunately I missed some track speed and that’s very important during time trial.
No big mistakes during time-trial, but because of the track speed that I’m missing I got the 24th fastest time out of 160 guys. I was not happy at all about that, because this time-trial was way slower than last year when I got 3rd place. It’s not weird that my time was slower, but I expected to be faster.
