With the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships approaching this summer it was time to check in with U23 BMX Racing World Champion Malene Kejlstrup to check what she things of the event and what her opinion is on the BMX track in Glasgow which hosted two UCI BMX Racing World Cups in 2022.
How has your life been since you started racing in that UCI rainbow jersey?
Malene Kejlstrup: “I never got the chance to do races in the jersey, because I changed immediately to elite after. But I do almost all my training sessions in it, and that feels great! It’s just a really special
After a hot weekend of BMX Racing at Papendal, Netherlands we've gathered reactions from the winners of Sunday at Round four of the 2023 UCI BMX Racing World Cup.
Rico Bearman (NZL) continued his dominance of the Under 23 Men category at the UCI BMX Racing World Cup taking his fourth consecutive victory for the season and maintaining his stranglehold on the overall series standings. The New Zealander led from the drop of the gate and never looked like losing the lead to Yuichi Masada (JPN) who picked up second place with hometown favourite Casper Pipers (NED) in third place.

UCI BMX Racing World Cup Papendal Round 4. Sunday 25 June 2023. French domination in Elite Men continues. Shriever confirms form in Elite Women. Sturiska and Bearman rule U23 classes. Hot, hotter, hottest. The 1-month drought had turned the green Papendal grass into a brown-ish scenery. The little rain on Thursday could not turn the grass back to green. Friday it was hot. Saturday it was hotter and during Sunday’s UCI BMX Racing World Cup it was the hottest. Airco’s, fans, tents, umbrella’s, parasols, sunscreen, sunglasses, water, and coolvests were all very popular products, especially on the last day of the race. But you know what? The conditions were the same for all so it was task to make it work for yourself.

A record number of BMX athletes lined up for Round 3 of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup held at Papendal, Netherlands. The 11th edition sure was a hot one in all aspects. The 27-degree heat had spectators and athletes look for shade but once on top of the 8-meter starting hill it was time to block that out and focus on the first 10-meter-long double jump. The smooth wide-open track at the Olympic training grounds once again was in prime condition giving all participants a fair chance to make it to the first turn in front of the pack.
Classes at the race on Saturday were the Under 23 and Elite classes with the Papendal Cup qualifier as an intermission race. Once the ¼ started it was anyone’s game. Looking good early on were Izaac

The new COMMENCAL P038 is our first ever BMX Project bike. It is based around our extensive knowledge in manufacturing aluminium race frames and experience of pushing boundaries in a professional racing environment. We will be fully dedicated as we’re known to be in downhill and enduro World Cup racing.
The project started in 2022 and from the very beginning Sylvain André joined the family. Thanks to his experience and hundreds of hours spent working with our R&D department, we were able to test first prototypes. As the BMX Project grew we also welcomed Laura Smulders at the start of 2023 to further help design and test the bike.
