The Australians were able to put three riders into the final, with only Fields representing the U.S.
Two American ladies made the final with Post grabbing third, less than a second behind yesterday’s time trial superfinal winner Caroline Buchanan (AUS). Buchanan was able to surge from the third position and make the pass in the final turn to take the victory from Frenchwoman Magalie Pottier who earned her second medal in as many world cups in silver-medal position.
Martin came in seconds later for fifth. Amanda Carr (Punta Gorda, Fla./ Endeavor-Paul Williams) and Brooke Crain (Visalia, Calif./Haro Bikes) just missed the finals in ninth and 10th respectively. The opening world cup bronze medalist, Amanda Geving (Largo, Fla./MCS Bicycles), was 15th.
The UCI Supercross World Cup will continue with its third stop in Papendal, Netherlands, May 12-13. For more information, please visit the UCI's official BMX Supercross World Cup webpage or bmx-results.com.
