Local French rider rules men’s time trials Joris Daudet won the men’s time trials in 31.650 seconds and the French rider sits in the hot seat for the moment. Second was Dutchmen
Raymon van der Biezen in 31.742. All the other top riders are on their heels. With
Willoughby (AUS) third,
Fields (USA) fourth and
Strombergs (LAT) fifth.
Willoughby trails Strombergs by 64 points for the 2010 World Cup trophy. The Australian will try to stop the Latvian BMX World Champion from taking away his 2009 Supercross title. Connor Fields, who is in third place, can theoretically still win the top spot, but the young American rider needs a small miracle to do so.
