With just one week to go until the world’s best BMX riders converge in Manchester for the second round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup (9-10 April), all eyes are on the riders set to go head-to-head at the National Cycling Centre to stake their claim on this year’s series title. Leading the Great Britain Cycling Team and looking to take to victory on his home track for the fourth consecutive time, double UCI BMX Supercross World Cup champion Liam Phillips is set to go up against fierce rivals including world champion Niek Kimmann (Netherlands), Connor Fields (USA) and round one winner Corben Sharrah (USA).
Nail-biting action is also expected in the women’s competition, as 2015 series winner and Olympic champion Mariana Pajón (Colombia) takes on former series titleholder and last year’s Manchester round winner Caroline Buchanan (Australia).
The full rider list is available on the event website BMXSuperX.com

Australian Olympian and former BMX World Champion Caroline Buchanan has fired the first warning shot on the road to Rio by winning round one of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. After finishing second by four one hundredths of a second in yesterday’s time trial, 25-year-old Buchanan returned to the track today to lead every single lap contested from the motos to final, inevitably beating home world time trial champion Mariana Pajon and Dutch rider Laura Smulders in the final.
The 2016 UCI BMX World Cup series is the gateway to the Olympic games for BMX racers, so the 2016 season is the most important races for a rider looking to make their way into the games. The Chase BMX Pro team headed into the year with the World Cups as their main focus, along with the USA BMX events and the season is now upon us. Stop #1 would take the team to Argentina, and Connor Fields, Joris Daudet, Romain Mahieu, and Stefany Hernandez would all take to the event with winning the main event as their goal.
