This will be the first time in 2010 all Elite riders will meet. Over the winter a number of them raced in the North American competition. Sam Willoughby (AUS), last year’s overall men's World Cup winner, still looks like the man to beat. In the ABA Winter Nationals in Phoenix Arizona on March 5 and 6 the current Junior World Champion was again a strong performer. In the women's competition Shanaze Reade (GBR) is back on the bike again and also looked strong in the mud of Phoenix. Reed will give last year’s consecutive Supercross World Cup winner Laetitia Le Courguillé (FRA) a run for her money in 2010.
For al the fans worldwide UCI BMX Supercross has a lot on offer. Each round of the Supercoss World Cup 2010 will be webstreamed live. Watch freecaster.tv on Saturday 27 March. Last year, over 600,000 viewers headed over to www.freecaster.tv to view the exciting format of UCI BMX Supercross race action, as well as watch the UCI BMX World Championships. On top of that all our European fans can tune in to Eurosport 2 as well. Still to be confirmed is the season’s finale in Monaco, just a week after the Fréjus stop.
