China! Yantai hosted the first of two Qualifiers in China this year on their brand new Velosolutions Pump Track, and the action was as intense as the weather! With temperatures soaring above 30°C and humidity through the roof, the riders gave it their all under the sizzling sun. It was a tight race in the women’s final, but Jiang Jiajie from Yantai clinched victory by less than a second! After consistently setting the fastest times throughout the day, she earned the coveted winner’s ticket to the World Finals. Having previously been on the podium in Shenyang, Jiang was thrilled to take the top spot today.
Shan Zihong, who finished in 2nd place, was quick all day but narrowly missed out on the win. She’s already gearing up for the next China qualifier in Suizhou, Hubei, happening in a month.
In the Men's category, Tetsuya Furuno made his third trip to China, and this time, it paid off! He battled hard against local hero Chen Jiayang and came out on top, securing his ticket to the World Finals. After facing tough competition from the local riders who had beaten him in 2023, Tetsuya finally made his
mark with the fastest timed runs right through to the finals.
