European Champion Van der Biezen was excited about his second place finish on home turf. Insiders say that this new Supercross track is the most challenging and technical track worldwide.

Van der Biezen said: “We have been training at Papendal for a month now, so we do have an advantage over other riders”, says the full time BMX-pro. “It is a privilege for us Dutch riders to be able to train on this track. It is very demanding.”

Van der Biezen believes he can even do better. “The wind was of great influence today. In BMX time differences are extremely small. Because of sudden wind, it’s sometimes hard to find the perfect line during a jump. I know I can go faster!”.

Corben Sharrah (USA), fifth in the time trials and winner of the first stop of the 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series in Pietermaritzburg was enthusiastic: "It's big and it's good. It's the kind of technical track that I like. For the progression of the sport this track is really good, because it's so difficult. It must be really nice for the audience to watch us on this track."

"I feel really good and comfortable about the track. It suits my style, which is calm and effortless. The track will probably have some casualties though as you can see today."
