Due to an untimely training injury reigning world championship bronze medalist Alise Post (St. Cloud, Minn./Redline Bicycles) will not contest the upcoming UCI BMX World Championships. "Obviously this is horrible news but I feel confident that we have three girls who will step up to the challenge," said USA Cycling BMX Programs Director Mike King of the U.S. team's chances at the pending world championships. "Alise is a strong competitor and we expect to see her back in the saddle soon." Post, currently the seventh-ranked rider in the UCI World standings, suffered a leg injury during training on Thursday. The extent of her injuries is unknown but the 20 year-old is expected to return to competition as soon as possible.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) announced the 2012 permanent career numbers for Elite Men and Elite Women. These numbers must be used at all international BMX events during the 2011-12 season, beginning Aug. 1. The UCI introduced the permanent BMX number system for Elite Men and Elite Women in 2006. This allows riders to choose a "career number" which they have the exclusive right to use for their entire Elite class career. This offers riders the possibility to market themselves and assists identification by the media and spectators. The system has proven to be very successful, with the top athletes recognized by their numbers. Riders like #365 Mike Day (San Diego, Calif./GT-Red Bull) have become easily identifiable. Due to the success of the permanent career numbers the UCI was not able to attribute all numbers asked.
The numbers 1 to 8 are reserved for the finalists of the 2011 UCI BMX World Championships.
