The 2018 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup finals would crown the Elite Men and Women's champions after the 7 month World tour would wrap up in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Niek Kimmann, Joris Daudet, and Sylvain Andre were all in the title hunt on the Mens side. For Elite Woman, Laura Smulders held a firm lead in points over Saya Sakaibara, and Judy Baauw, but it would come down to the last weekend to crown the champions.
World Cup Argentina, Santiago Del Estero. Already the last World Cup of the year!
29-30_9_2018 Last stop of World Cup 2018 in SDE Argentina. Always fun to travel to Argentina. Looking forward to another event next year!
First time visiting and racing in SDE, Argentina. Didn't quite get the results I was looking for last weekend but I really enjoyed the trip & the culture. Enjoy the video!
The 2018 UCI BMX World Cup tour traveled to 4 countries, for 8 rounds of Elite racing. The Chase pros have had a good season, with Joris Daudet having 4 podium finishes on the tour after the first 6 events and ranked 2nd overall in the World Cup series. Connor Fields had missed a few events due to injury, but was looking to end the World Cup series on a high note. On Day 1 of the weekend in Santiago Del Estero, both riders looked strong, but neither were able to make it out of the semi finals and into the main event. Day 2 would be a much better day, as Joris and Connor would both advance into the main event.
As the points played out, due to series overall leader Niek Kimmann having made the finals, Joris would

For the 6th year in a row the UCI BMX SX World Cup stopped over at the BMX SX track located at the Sport Centre of Santiago del Estero, Argentina. The final round of the 2018 World Cup season was raced in blistering heat on Sunday 28 September. Joris Daudet (FRA) won Sunday’s Round 8 in front of Gonzalo Molina (ARG) and Anthony Dean (AUS), but sixth place for UCI World Cup leader Niek Kimmann (NED) was enough for him to hold on to the overall title.
In the Women’s final on Sunday, Saya Sakakibara (AUS) and Laura Smulders were shoulder to shoulder in the first turn and the second straight. On the last straight, Alise Willoughby joined the duo, and the drag race to the finish saw the three of them cross the line side by side. A mere 0.041 of a second separated the three, with Sakakibara taking the win in front of Willoughby (2nd) and Smulders.

With one more UCI BMX SX World Cup round to go in Santiago del Estero the World Cup ranking looks like this (below). In fact Laura Smulders has gained such a lead that she will get crowned UCI World Cup champion for the third year in a row today after the final race is over. In the Men class Niek Kimmann is in a good position as he is currently leading and basically needs to score more than 6 points if Joris Daudet wins. Ask Brian Foster if you think the race for the 2018 Overall is already over, he can explain that anything can happen in BMX. The race coverage can be watched live here on FATBMX. We advise you to do so.
