FISE World Chengdu 2016

QUALIFICATIONS RESULTS - UCI BMX FREESTYLE PARK

28 Oct 2016 19:56
They are all here ; 18 out of the 20 best riders of UCI’s BMX Freestyle World Cup, only missing Daniel Sandoval and now Marin Rantes, the young Croatian rider who got hurt during the qualifications, which fortunately spared us any other bad surprises. 
All the headliners made an appearance, including Daniel Dhers who qualified 5th while overall ranking leader Logan Martin kept a close eye on him as he will enter the competition during the semi-finals this Saturday. Drew Bezanson keeps on treating us with his versatile riding and qualifies 1st ahead of Declan Brooks who’s only getting better and better. Russian riders Irek Rizaev and Kostya Andreev once again ranked on top of the list in this qualification round ; will they maintain the pressure until the end? A special mention goes out to British rider Tom Isted who qualifies straight into the 9th place as he competes FISE World Series for the very first time!
 
Also worth mentionning, the day ended with a meeting involving all pro riders, regarding future modifications to the 2017 rule book, or when the phrase « by riders, for riders » actually makes sense… Stay tuned.
