It's a pure gamble now or if you want to play it safe, you simply go at the split second you see the gate drop. National teams made it over to Beijing to check out the 2008 Olympic village, the track and to score points for their nation. The more points, the more riders of that country are allowed to race the big event in 2008. Anne-Caroline Chausson and Mike Day won the time trial events but their first gate pick didn´t get them the win. Here are the results of the UCI SX round in Beijing. Next round will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah and FATBMX will be there.
