As with every UCI Supercross race it starts with a one lap time trial. The rider with the fastest time gets to pick the gate position. Also the time trial results determine the moto sheets so it does make sense to give it a good shot. Donny Robinson is currently leading the World Cup series after SX rounds in Madrid, Adelaide, Copenhagen and Salt Lake City. Americans Kyle Bennett and David Herman are in second and third respectively followed by Maris Strombergs, Mike Day and Raymon van der Biezen. The race in Frejus is going to be an important one. The time trials results look like this. Olympic Silver medalist Mikey Day is on it again.

In Madill's first race after bowing out before the finals at the Beijing Olympics, it was another unlucky day.

Only one month after the Olympics the first national event was held in Australia today with what could be the next group of London 2012 Oly mpic hopefuls. The first round of the Hog's Breath Café National series in Cairns saw three local champions blitz today men's divisions. Former World Champion, 25 year old Ronnie Dugdell (Cairns), won the elite while fellow Cairns riders Kurt Nicholls and Joseph Costa won the junior Probikx and 16 Boys Champbikx races respectively making it a Cairns trifecta.

Dugdell, a 25 year old boilermaker, was rewarded with a win after yesterday claiming a state title in cruiser class. Second was Olympic hopeful, Townsville's Todd Pascoe. "I felt a bit tired this morning but after I got warmed up I was right," admitted Dugdell. "I've always wanted to race Todd (Pascoe) and today I got my chance."

Dugdell lined up with Pascoe in the motos with no clear leader until Dugdell beat Pascoe in the semi-final. A quick start and the added

While the X Games and Dew Tour are all about who can pull the sickest tricks on manufactured obstacles, this event kept it real and took BMX back to the gritty streets. The rules were simple - whoever could ride from point-A to point-B the fastest without getting crushed by traffic or
