It's sad to see that some countries can't fill up a gate of Elite riders these days. Isn't BMX Racing an Olympic sport? The National Championships were held in many countries last weekend and some countries, like Sweden for instance, don't even have any Elite Women competing! The Men class wasn't too impressive either with three riders lining up to see who would get Gold, Silver and Bronze. It's seriously time for the national cycling federations to look into this and do some investments. The next UCI BMX SX World Cup will be held in
Sweden on their new Supercross track in Angelholm. It's time for Filip, Johan and Henrik to set up camp there and use home advantage when the top riders get to the track on 15-16 August.
