who currently leads the 2010 Elite men’s ranking, and the 2009 Supercross winner Sam Willoughby from Australia. Willoughby trails Strombergs by 64 points and will try to stop the Latvian BMX World Champion from taking away his 2009 Supercross title. Connor Fields, who is in third place, can theoretically still win the top spot, but the young American rider needs a small miracle to do so.
Le Corguillé defends title. Laëtitia Le Corguillé stood out this season during the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series. The French female rider won all three previous stops in 2010 and was also the overall 2009 Supercross World Cup winner. Only during the World Championships in South Africa did Shanaze Reade from the United Kingdom beat her. The multi talented Caroline Buchanan from Australia is runner-up in the 2010 ranking and was recently crowned the 2010 Mountain Bike 4-cross World Champion. Buchanan and some seven other Elite women BMX riders will go all out for the second and third spots in the season’s ranking.
