Fun afternoon riding the track in Uithoorn with the boys!
Olympic BMX race athletes Twan van Gendt and Merel Smulders will participate in the Red Bull UCI Pump Track on September 18 in Eindhoven. The Dutch qualification for the world championship has been officially under the UCI flag since 2019. This means that the winner can wear the rainbow jersey for a year. But amateur riders can also participate on September 18. The winners will eventually represent the Netherlands at the Red Bull UCI Pump Track Word Championships in Portugal.
The location
September 18, Red Bull UCI Pump Track will take place in the Urban Sportpark in Eindhoven.
34 Men and 11 Women registered for the 2021 Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships qualifier in Brussels, Belgium. Riders from Belgium, Netherlands, Latvia, France, Switzerland were racing the newly built Velosolutions pump track for a spot at the upcoming World Champs in Lisbon, Portugal. There was a fairly even split across BMX and MTB and a few Freestyle riders joined the fun. Aiko Gommers was absolutely unstoppable in a stacked Women's category, unbeatable in every single round saw her secure her World Final ticket with her best time of the day in at 11.622 with Olympian Elke Vanhoof taking home 2nd spot on the podium in the Women class.
In the Men's category, a small mistake saw top qualifier Mateo Colsenet take a fall in top 16, leaving Latvian rider Kristaps Veksa to take home his World Final ticket after his third place in the German Qualifier last weekend. Second place behind Veksa was Belgian rider Elias Verbinnen.
