The Australian’s are proving unstoppable in Rotterdam as more winners are crowned overnight. Day four of the UCI BMX World Championships in Rotterdam provided an opportunity for our elite Australian riders to rehearse for racing on Sunday in the time trial. Olympic silver medalist Sam Willoughby could not have made a greater statement by winning the time trial in stunning fashion, edging out American Corben Sarrah by 0.62 seconds on what was a highly entertaining evening at the Ahoy Stadium in Rotterdam, with Australia’s Bodi Turner finishing in tenth.
Defending World Champion Caroline Buchanan rode fantastically to finish in second just 0.22 seconds outside top spot, however her form suggests she will be the one to catch come finals time on Sunday.
Brandon Te Hiko had a stunning ride to finish third in the Junior Men’s division, the Geelong BMX Club rider was scintillating, finishing
outside the winning run by only 0.175.
Day five in Rotterdam is the one we have all been waiting for, as the best riders in the world battle it out to decide who will wear the rainbow stripes.
