The first UCI SX World Cup race is in the pocket. One down four to go. If the other ones are as exciting as the season opener we’re in for a treat. First of all the track, it separated the men from the boys. The second straight had a tricky section for the men while the women had three doubles to take on the second straight. The men’s line started off with a 8.8 meter long “set up” jump followed by a take off (covered with wooden sheets because it showed some soft spots) where you jumped onto a banana platform covering a 7 meter gap

You are the 2010 Supercross champion but did not get to race the last race in Frejus, what happened?

How is the injury now? Are you back on the bike?

VSI Products is pleased to announce that it has signed on again as the official number plate supplier to the 2010, 2011 and 2012 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Series and UCI BMX World Championships and the London 2012 Olympic Games. The three-year deal is a continuation of VSI's current sponsorship agreement with the UCI. VSI signed on with the UCI in 2007 prior to the Olympic Games in China where THE number plates were used by all the riders. THE number plates also are used at all UCI Supercross races and World Championships.

"Our relationship with the UCI has been great and has given the THE brand excellent exposure around the world. We look forward to working with them through at least 2012," said Toby Henderson, founding partner at VSI, THE's parent company.

Besides supplying more than 4,000 custom number plates to the UCI each year, VSI also donates THE, ITS, Intense and Vigor
