The Sport Vlaanderen Genk pump track once again played host to the electrifying start of the Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships! Belgium's inaugural pump track, built in 2019, served as the perfect battleground for riders to test their skills on its technical twists and turns. With each corner presenting a new challenge, competitors were pushed to their limits in search of the fastest line!
Local hero and World Champ, Aiko Gommers (BEL) wasted no time in asserting her dominance, setting the pace early on with lightning-fast lap times under 25 seconds! But the excitement didn't stop there, as Aiko navigated through a thrilling semifinal showdown against her sister Robyn Gommers, and then sealing the deal by outpacing fellow Belgian rider Julie Heusequin in a heart-stopping final! Meanwhile, Anne Bos (NED) claimed a well-deserved spot on the podium, rounding up the top three with her impressive performance!
