Laëtitia Le Corguillé from France won the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Fréjus in one of this year’s most exciting Elite women finals. With this victory in the ultimate leg of this year’s BMX Supercross World Cup the determined French rider also secured the overall 2009 World Cup win for Elite women. Just as impressive was Sam Willoughby’s victory in France in the Elite men. The 2009 Junior World Champion claimed his second win in a World Cup event this year and with that the talented young Australian from Adelaide was also awarded 2009 overall winner. Willoughby was not the favourite going in to the quarter finals. He finished only 17th in the time trials on Friday and he had a rough start in the 1/8 finals on Saturday. He barely qualified for the quarter finales with one point to spare. But from that moment on the young Australian was on fire winning all following heats including the main event.
Le Corguillé was only second fastest going in to the women’s finals.

After a doubtful start in qualifying motos, Australia’s Sam Willoughby scraped through by a mere point to progress on and eventually win the elite men’s BMX Supercross World Cup final round in Frejus (fray jers), France. The 18 year old from Adelaide creates history by becoming the youngest rider ever to win the overall World Cup Series plus the first Australian to claim a series win. “I had a real rough start to the day. The pressure was on but I managed to pull my head back in and refocus on the job at hand. I learnt a lot about myself today!” said Willoughby.
