FISE MONTPELLIER 2024 | UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup Women Final
Penultimate day of this 26th edition of FISE Montpellier. If the public is even more numerous and warm at the end of the week, the weather was a bit capricious and forced the organization to slightly revise the weekend program. But the motivation of the athletes, more than ever palpable in these days of finals, has thwarted the vagaries of weather to bring the intensity of the sports show that the public comes to seek each season during the weekend of the Ascension on the banks of the Lez.
The UCI BMX Freestyle Flat Men's World Cup qualifiers were split between late afternoon yesterday and this morning to avoid the showers. 33 riders were at the start and the overexcited atmosphere contrasted with the sky, for the "darlings" of the FISE operating for the most part in this discipline.
The talent and the support of the public allowed the French riders to get no less than 6 of the 16 places available for the semi-final! Among them, the very young Norman Julien Baran who, at 17 years old, created the surprise by finishing 5th of this qualifying phase, 1st Frenchman in front of the nonuple world champion, Matthias Dandois, who finished 9th. Alex Jumelin, Joris Bretagnolles, Anatole Rahain and Jérémy Brosset completed the group, leaving behind big names in the discipline such as Germany's Dustin Alt and England's Lee Musselwhite.
The 16 qualifiers will meet at the end of the afternoon on the Flat area for the semi-finals which will see 8 of them going to the final tomorrow.
