The last few weeks I've been on the road but work was calling as the third World Cup of the year was taking place in Sweden. We'd considered planning our holiday around the World Cup and cruise around Sweden with the family but the the sun was calling so we headed south again, Tossa de Mar more specifically. Now it's a bit of a way to get from the campsite at Eurocamp in Tossa to the BMX race in Angelholm, Sweden. It all started with an early wake up on Thursday. The bus from Tossa to Barcelona airport was booked

Alise Post (Chula Vista, Calif./Redline) and Felicia Stancil (Lake Villa, Calif./GT Bicycles) raced to the first two spots on the podium at round three of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Sweden on Sunday. Post took the lead right out of the gate and did not relinquish it. She crossed the line for the win right ahead of compatriot Felicia Stancil and Australian Lauren Reynolds. Dani George (Riverside, Calif.) placed fifth for the USA.

"I am honestly so happy," a smiling Post said after her victory.

It was a coming of age performance by Olympic hopeful Bodi Turner overnight, as he upstaged compatriot Sam Willoughby to finish second in the third round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Angelholm, Sweden. The wind was more subdued at the Sibirien BMX Arena after it had forced a re-schedule to the competition the previous day. Although still a niggling presence, it didn’t stop a number of Aussie riders from producing season best performances, as Lauren Reynolds also got in on the action to finish in third. Australia’s extended practice

Liam Phillips (GBR) and Alise Post (USA) celebrated huge wins in Angelholm Sweden at the third round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup. Not only did they win World Cup race number three of the season, they took over the leader plates from Mariana Pajon (COL) and Sam Willoughby (AUS) at the same time. Willoughby made the podium in third place as he made a great high-low pass in the last corner to pass 2015 UCI World Champions Niek Kimmann (NED) who finished fourth wearing his rainbow jersey for the first time at

The wind played a big factor at the third round of the UCI BMX SX World Cup in Sweden during qualifying. Getting on that hill and jumping a 11 meter gap with strong headwind and 7 others by your side is crazy. That was also the thoughts of the organisation and racing was scrapped for the day for the ladies. The Men still raced a two moto qualification race which was interesting to say the least with people flying everywhere. For a change having the lightest bike wasn't much of an advantage but luckily the strong wind came

This weekend’s UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Angelholm will be Marc Willer’s last international race as he winds down his 12-year pro career and retires at the end of 2015. Willers laid out the reason for ending his career in his usual frank manner: “It sucks losing. And that’s been happening for so long that racing isn’t fun any more. The last thing I want is to start hating the sport I love.”

Olympic silver medallist Sam Willoughby and world number two Caroline Buchanan will spearhead the Australian team in the third round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series in Angelholm, Sweden this weekend. No less than 17 Australian riders will be in action, ready to once again take it to the best riders in the world in what will be the first international hit out since the UCI BMX World Championships in Belgium last month.

It will be the first time Sweden has hosted a world cup round, and although not as technical as other tracks on the world cup circuit, it features large open turns that will produce plenty of speed and favour riders who can crank up the horsepower.  

The elite men’s field will once again be a who’s who of world BMX, as Willoughby attempts to claim his first world cup win of the season from the likes of reigning world champion Niek Kimman and two-time Olympic gold medallist Maris Strombergs.
