My preparation for Worlds was the hardest I’ve ever worked and I’ve never felt better and been so motivated before. However, none of that matters when you don’t get the results. My Worlds ended in the 1/8 final with a very unfortunate lap.
It might seem far away, but in less than 100 days, the BMX World Championships will be held at Papendal from 14 to 22 August 2021. Just one week after the Olympic Games in Tokyo, the absolute best gathers in the Netherlands for the global final tournament.

BMX Challenge riders
Where the elite riders come into action on the weekend, it is traditionally time for the challenge riders during the week. The UCI and the organization of the BMX World Championship go for a fully-fledged event, in which the protective measures surrounding COVID-19 are observed.
In the current context of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, which also affects the United States, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) regrets to announce the necessity to postpone the 2020 UCI BMX World Championships which were initially to take place at the North Houston Bike Park in the United States from 26 to 31 May. The UCI fully supports the decision taken by the organisers of the Harris County - Houston Sports Authority, the authorities of the city of Houston, in the state of Texas, and of Harris County. In view of the current health situation, holding the UCI BMX World Championships, preceded by the amateur Challenge class, would have potentially posed a risk to the health of the riders, all those involved in the event and the fans.
Regarding the qualification process for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the UCI BMX World Championships in Houston were initially to be the last event on the UCI International BMX Calendar offering qualification points, since the qualifying period was due to end on 1st June. In the context of the coronavirus and in the interests of safety and sporting fairness, the UCI recalls - as announced on March 15 - that it asked the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to stop the qualification period retroactively as of 3 March, given that until this date, no nation had been prevented from going to events because of the pandemic.
