In a thrilling men's BMX racing final at Ariake Urban Sports Park, Netherlands' Niek Kimmann stormed to victory in a time of 39.053.

Yoshi and I proudly present 'First and Last'. We've filmed a lot of stuff behind the scenes this year and put it together in this little documentary. The title comes from the fact that it was Niek's first year in Switzerland and Simon finished first in his first World Cup final. This year was special cause it was at the same time our last year in Switzerland, and for Yoshi even the last season of his BMX career.
