How crazy do you think the crowd will go when the battles start?
Raphael Chiquet: I guess the crowd is gonna be one of the craziest ever seen, shouting from everyone!!
Does anyone in this rider group have a chance to win or do you have a favorite for the victory?
Raphael Chiquet: My favourite is Alex, then I think Viki and Martti will take a good place for sure.
How stoked are you to be chosen to ride at the COB?
Raphael Chiquet: For me that's the best event ever for BMX flatland and they only choose the 18 top flatlanders so I'm very proud to participate. I only disagree that my friend Matthias wasn't chosen, he deserves it more than half of the qualified people (and they know it).
Thanks to: Andy, Alex, Alain, Martti, Viki all the riders I have been riding with.
