Liam Phillips and Mariana Pajon seal the deal in rainy Rock Hill to claim World Cup titles
Two UCI BMX Supercross World Cup titles were on the line this weekend in Rock Hill, SC. In the Men Category Liam Phillips claimed the title even with a disappointing final race of the evening which was won by two-time Olympic Gold medalist Maris Strombergs. Mariana Pajon (COL) finished the season in style by claiming the win in rainy Rock Hill which also gave her the 2015 Overall Title. Britain's Liam Phillips made it to the final race of the evening in Rock Hill ready to claim the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Title in style. However when he unclipped his pedal on the first straight, the other finalists did not wait for him. Maris Strombergs (LAT), arrived at the first turn in first place with American Connor Fields, who started from lane 8, on the outside and Frenchman Amidou Mir ready to dive in on his inside. Strombergs held on to the lead on the second straight with 5 riders right on his tail. Position changes happened from then on till the finish line. Joris Daudet (FRA) moved forward until he tangled with fellow countryman Mir who was in second position. Daudet was sent off the track and crashed while his fellow countryman lost his momentum.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
