Paris, Texas Pump Track Qualifier: Thank you very much, USA! It is always such a pleasure to come to Paris. You can never beat that Texas hospitality
In the Men's category, current World no 2 Alec Bob and previous World Champ Tommy Zula chased each other down all day long, lap for lap with Alec eventually laying down his fastest and winning time of 21.924 in the final run. Alec already punched his ticket at the Chile Qualifier, which means Tommy secures his trip to the World Champs.
In the Women’s category, it was Carly Kane day, and it is sure good to have her back after her crash at the UCI World Champs last year in Chile, her fastest time of the day of 25.317 in the semis.
Her battle for the ticket was against Ashley Kincheloe, who laid down equally fast laps and proved to be more than a worthy adversary, for that all expenses trip for the rainbow stripes.
