overall rankings. In this situation, the title is decided on count-back and as Webb had won previous rounds at the FISE in Montpellier, France and the NASS in Somerset, Great Britain, he was judged champion for 2007. Daniel Dhers (VEN) was second in Cologne with a large Double Tailwhip over the spine and a No-Handed Flair to finish third overall on the Tour. Taking fourth on the Tour standings was Briton Chris Mahoney who rode the Suzuki BMX Masters with probable fractures in his foot. In obvious pain, Mahoney was dubbed "Broken Foot Mahoney" by the event commentator but knocked out numerous one-footed tricks, capping off his run with an outstretched superman that had the crowd cheering for more. "I'm not sure if it's broken," Mahoney said. "I haven't had it x-rayed yet, but it was all worth it."
Phil Aller's (GBR) was fifth overall thanks to his neat nose-spins on the spine while the ever-improving Tony Watkinson (GBR) was sixth.
Ben Hennon (GBR) was unable to take part in Cologne, but still took seventh ahead of Germany's Mark König. French duo Kevin Kalkoff (FRA) and Jean-Baptiste Peytavit (FRA) were ninth and tenth respectively. Final overall rankings from the Braun cruZer Tour 2007:
