The rider with the Red Numberplate is the leader of the UCI BMX SX World Cup. There are two plates in total. One for Women. One for Men. After the first two rounds of the UCI BMX SX World Cup Connor Fields and Alise Willoughby will be bringing the leader plates to Bathurst for UCI BMX SX World Cup rounds 3 and 4 next weekend 8 - 9 February 2020. The racing will continue in the 10-round series but getting the lead and running that plate certainly means something. Congrats to the American duo on running the series.

Connor Fields headed down to Santiago Del Estero for the final 2 rounds of the 2019 UCI BMX World Cup SX series. With Connor being injured in the beginning of the season and missing 3 of the 5 stops, the overall title was out of each for him, but landing back on the podium at one of his favorite events of the season was the main goal. With Joris Daudet still sidelined from his crash from the UCI BMX World Championships, Connor would be the loner Factory rider to attend, but many other supported Chase Athletes were also in attendance for the World Cup Finals.
On Day 1, Connor once again rode out front almost the entire day of qualifying and made his way into the main event. A stacked main event isn’t something that Connor isn’t a custom to, but a result of 6th place
