The small final saw Jesse Elzenga of the Netherlands take third with a 20.948-second run, while Switzerland’s Sirio Grunig placed fourth in 21.225 seconds.

The women’s final was equally fierce, with Košárková defeating Swiss rival Christa von Niederhäusern

Did 2021 turn out the way you wanted?
Eddy Clerté: Starting off the year with a big shoulder injury makes this question hard to answer. I guess I saved the year ending it with consistency and real progression.

With the start of the new year, are you always looking to become a faster racer?
Eddy Clerté: Yes! I mainly enjoy the process, so I'm focusing on executing everything the best way possible and make sure I head into the right direction. But of course I start every year convinced

I'm so happy to release this video, I can call 2021 my most successful year on and off the bike, I want to thank my family and coach for the enormous support.

Today the Urban Sportpark in Eindhoven was all about Red Bull UCI Pump Track. The race has recently come under the UCI flag. This allows the winner of the World Final to wear the rainbow jersey for a year. This year, the women's Olympic medal winner Merel Smulders won gold. Frenchman Eddy Clerté won gold in the men's race. Red Bull UCI Pump Track is a unique competition because different cycling disciplines come together. For example, MTB riders cycled against BMX riders and freestylers took part in the Pump Track and vice versa.
