CHULA VISTA UCi SUPERcross: SAM & ALISE NAB THE PODIUM SPOTS IN WHAT MAY BE KNOWN AS "THE GREATEST MAIN EVENT OUR SPORT HAS EVER SEEN." With 134 Elite Men vying for the top-64 starting positions, just getting to race at Chula Vista's UCi Supercross, is a feat in itself. And with 14 Redline riders in that top-64, those numbers slowly dwindled down after a few bonks, crashes and eliminiations in the semis and quarters - until there were the final 8 men in the Elite main. And 3 of those eight, were Redline athletes: Australia's
SAM WILLOUGHBY, France's
JORIS DAUDET, and Dutch rider
JELLE van GORKOM.
And what a main it was! In my four decades of watching National BMX events - I will admit that the Elite Mens main event is probably the most action-packed, position-changing, tactical BMX race I have ever witnessed! It was the Greatest Main Event our Sport has ever seen! And you can quote me on that.
