    Got I E The BMX racing World Cup gave us Thrills and bills it gave us Local Heroes and the coming J age of under 23 number ones in 2023 2024 is Olympic year and we kick off our world cup season in the land of the long white cloud here in New Zealand

    In Ro too the BMX club and track play host to rounds one and two and our Riders have been enjoying a true Maria Mana kitanga I’m Matt P I’m here in the studio and I’m joining the one and only legendary Rich EES Rich you’ve been doing your homework do you know

    What Mana kaga beans yes I do man after a little bit of research I found out that it meant the process of showing respect generosity and care for visitors I’m loving the fact that you’ve done your homework buddy and uh the area is an absolutely stunning area to come and

    Visit I know it’s on riches take List It show is on mine as well the amazing scenery the geothermal spars and course scen our Riders taking a dip the luges and all of the activities out and around this amazing setting including of course the world famous mountain bik track here in

    Rarua but wherever you are in the globe wherever abouts in Middle Earth you come from make sure you take a trip have your journey across and make your way down because we’re going to be bringing some great action come down and have a ride on the track Rich have you ever actually

    Ridden the track at rotor unfortunately not like I say it’s on my bucket list mat it’s certainly one I’d like to uh to ride and just looking at that you can see exactly why what a great BMX track it is and the weather that we’ just seen

    On screen is current weather it is overcast it’s 22 uh deg however previously has been scorching hot the man who was scorching hot in our under 23s last year is Rico bman uh he is a man who was on fire but he’s on fire so

    Much he’s s and run yes he’s headed off into the uh Men Elite Class for 20124 alongside Mato KS as well so they’ll be mixing it up a little bit later and is that the same in our women’s under 23 standings uh yes it is Tessa Martinez

    The uh World Cup champion and world champion of 2023 has moved in into women Elite it leaves the door open for Veronica starisa Eva Calli Michel vising and everybody else to try and take that under 23 Crown going to be very interesting to see if that is going to

    Be the case in under 23s in the elite standings Roman mayor was dominant I mean 500 points clear and uh do really the only Rider who could have touched him for that title are we going to see the same again are we going to see B maybe coming in to interrupt this uh

    Will soon see it’s going to be very very close but I have a sneaky suspicion there will be quite a few french Riders inside the top eight and no silan Andre am I correct yes unfortunately injured from his crash in Santiago deoo in Argentina but I believe he’s back on a

    Bike and make him recovery so it’ be good to see him back sooner rather than later well are we going to see rich in a women’s Elite standings now say saki Bara back on top I mean she again dominant 700 uh Plus points clear at the top of

    The standings but world champion Bethany shria you reckon she’s looking fast when we were chatting before the show yeah Beth’s looking fast we’ve uh seen her at racing under the roof in Manchester over the winter time and she’s certainly putting the working well let’s see if

    She can uh put the work in here today at the rotor BMX Club a massive thank you to everybody who’s down there from the local Club they really are the lifeblood sport out and around the world and of course they’re bringing on the next generation of riders the aut gr signing

    Is really becoming more and more popular isn’t it and those Riders going down really get to interact with the fans yeah definitely and it seem great for the fans especially in New Zealand they’ve not had a World Cup before so uh you know they’ve got the opportunity to

    Get involved and that’s true of all our venues on the World Cup Series this year isn’t It so let’s jump in with our racing we are down in root in New Zealand for round number one of the BMX World Cup it is the Men’s Under 23 quarterfinals that will kick off the racing now there have been a few interesting things happen in

    The uh uh round one and the previous rounds but most of the big names are in and through rich just take us through the start list who would you pick out here particularly in Heat number one yeah I’ve got my eye on Oliver Moran of Australia and Marco relli of Italy

    Relli’s already won a World Championship as in junior men and Oliver Moran making Main Events last year most notably the one in Santiago Del Estero so we’ll see what he’s got he’s there on the inside on plate 510 so the Riders up on the hill on that

    Full 8 m start ramp B plywood here in rotor round Number One race number one of our coverage for 2024 soan R Elli cray Roman Martinez and Elton lined up good to go let’s get down to the racing can’t wait looks like we’ve got just a very slight delay Riders just getting

    Themselves set back up again noron just on the outside in the yellow Jersey Oliver Moran on the inside Marco relli in the center of the piter as here we go first of the quarterfinals for men under 23 okay Riders random start Riders ready watch the gate first of the quarterfinals underway

    Moran relli and Cay right there on the inside looking for the even heading down towards turn number one here comes Oliver Mando picking up the whole shot Noah Elton round the outside so the Australians are one and two at the moment Curtis cray in theing three rad

    Elli back the ining five so he’s got his work cut out and it’s Mark Roman Martinez who’s got that final qualifying spot but Moran out in front cray in there in three Elton in two Moran bringing it to the final Corner Elton on his back wheel Rell is back into that

    Four spot as they go in and out of the final turn Oliver Moran of Australia he’s going to pick up the winning quarter final number one elton’s going to pick up that two spots Curtis craning three relli in four Mar Roman Martinez The Unlucky man out in five but a great

    First lap for Oliver Moran absolutely flying here as he came in and through four runners qualifying on the way through and really a pretty smooth run here compared to some of the races that we seen earlier on everybody keeping it rubers side down and our first proper

    Look at this track R it is a bit of a a Monster yeah it certainly is he got a big wide first turn there’s plenty of space to make moves the jumps are technical there’s going to be a lot of action so you can see our heat one

    Results up there full qualifier through Elton cray and rad Elli Roman Martinez and Marsh and not going to go through marsh nonstarter in the first of our Heats pretty quick time as well 37.5 17 but we’ve seen quicker times are we going to see do you think a consistent

    Time sub 37 seconds for the very top riders today yeah I think we will certainly that 37 second marker was broken early on and it’s only going to get faster as the day progresses so our next Heat lining up this is Heat number two with Jack gdof Lon Russo

    Marcus let in here K Shas Seb Lan and Dylan treml all on the line you can see the positions across the bottom of your screen the Riders being red ready for the race start ready watch the game drops on quarter final number two Kim stal faser right there in the middle

    He took a win at serion last year in round number six it looks like he’s going to lead this quarterfinal into the turn so stal faser in there in that first position Marcus left going through in third he’s battling away with uh I think it might be uh

    Uh treml in there and Jack greenoff as well greenoff making his move now on the inside couldn’t quite put the move on stal fer as they came out of the turn less definitely in there in that third spot but it’s the winner of round six from 2023 Kip stal faser lison Russo of

    France is the man in four but it’s going to be stal fasher and green up taking it to the line Le’s going to pick up that three Russo’s going to pick up the four who was the UNL looking man in five it was sepy L and Dylan treml out in six

    But Kip stal fasher looking for another under 23 World Cup win well you can just see how much effort goes in from the Riders here uh as they came over the top there that lead it did look to be in trouble a couple of interesting moves and interesting lines couple of people

    Coming in tight coming out wide couple of little changes look up the inside then having to back off and it really did leave the track clear didn’t it but K steal off yeah he did he took that one from the start to the finish and that’s

    Exactly what you want in a World Cup quarterfinal so great racing your confirmed results for Heat number two halfway through our Men’s Under 23 quarterfinals ster green as well as leth and Russo going through we’re going to move on to heat number three the rers Reed now for those people

    Who are new to BMX basically is a knockout competition until we get our way all the way into those finals so the Riders lined of already Jolly Capello Williams davisa as well well let’s go L up on the start six Riders taking to our start four Riders going through time for our

    Riders to ready themselves for the release of that gate all on a random timed start from our commiss team here our race officials who look after the racing across cycling disciplines okay Riders random start Riders ready watch the game josua jolly and Federico Capello nearest to the camera James Cutter

    Williams of the USA in the middle it looks like uh Gregory kellier of France moving his way across from the outside but Capello taking the whole shot he’s out in front Williams and jolly chasing him down Patrick coup in the in that four spot James Cutter Williams oh just

    Over jumped ever so slightly and he’s managed to hold on to it and work his way up into that second position moves being made though as they come out of the turn and into the Third straight but look at the man out in front feder Rico Capello of Argentina he four by lens

    Clear now as they head down that final straight looks like he’s going to pick it up at the line Joshua Jolly’s going to make it in as well James Cutter Williams in the ring three and Harrison Davis of Australia coming through for that fourth position well great to see

    The Riders congratulating each other at the end of that race and the effort going in all the way in through to the line but there Capello really did push oh he had a high line quite a lot of the time through there carrying a lot of

    Pace but he was pretty Flawless as well not so Williams that was a sketchy little Landing there as he came down as came off that Gap jump not getting the perfect position in yeah but he did enough to hold on to it and that’s all that matters wow great to see the action

    Coming thick and fasting Capello taking the win from Jolly Williams and Davis Kier and cou out on of the competition as we move from the third to our fourth of our Heats here and that is going to be an absolutely fantic one you just see ran Mayo down there in those rainbow shs

    They rather suit him don’t they he’s looking good on them he definitely looks good in that Jersey and he worked hard for it in Glasgow in 2023 so we’ll enjoy wearing it for 2024 so our next Heat lined up I’m ready GRE enough Ben Kazar then Schmid Callum and Gib interesting

    Spacing across the grid here Rich yeah they’ve certainly picked the gates and looks like you know on the outside might just give you a little bit of room to move rate green off on the inside with Ben Salazar in the middle as well as they head towards turn number one and it

    Looks like he’s going to get that ho shot into the turn he does so as they head in and out it’s Bennett greenoff in there in one benal salar in two he’s been shuffled back now into three and the moves have been made because coming across from g eight was Kane given and

    He’s worked his way up into that third spot Jordan Callum I think it is in there in that second position so the Australian going very well but it’s greenoff leading it in and out of the final turn out of New Zealand he’s going to drive the home fans wild I think if

    He manages to hold this one to the line under a little bit of pressure he did enough to get through Jordan C Kan Gibbons and it looked like Samuel Grady who’s gone through in that fourth spot and a really nice dive up for the inside there showing just how point it is to

    Get the positioning right from the start though you can just see the inside line is key getting the hole shot out into Corner one is critical as they come in and around and as they go over the top taking that tight inside line paying off there for Jordan who came into that

    Second place diving down the inside and then challenged all the way in to the line great riding though uh from Green half come in and through this track is living up to our expectations here Rich we can see our four qualifiers there G of Callum Gibbons and ogrady it’s certainly shown

    That there is plenty of room to race on this track already even though we’re only into the quarterfinals yeah we’ve got some big turns here at raru and New Zealand and uh certainly the Riders are making the most of it and it’s giving them time and options just to pick their

    Lines as they go in and out of the turns neck kimman of the Netherlands the Olympic champion there and Roman Mayu your current world champion looking a little bit pensive just getting themselves ready for the quarter finals as we move on to Men Elite and the first

    Of those quarters lining up on the gate and there is a ryer who the home fans will be cheering for Rico bman of New Zealand and uh here’s his first many leag quarterfinal will be expecting the fans to give him all the encouragement that he needs I can hear them in the

    Background here a very popular Rider both here and abroad rers readying themselves in that gate do gion bias bman Dar clerte thn and Isador your eight riders in Heat number one yis do pushed Roman may all the way to the line last time didn’t he he really was CH he

    Was looking very very strong bman though do you think he’s feeling that pressure um I don’t I don’t think so I think he’s thinking you know more excitement than anything riding in front of the home fans so the two big names on the inside here but the r has spread all the way

    Across with Bas right the way on the outside now we’re seeing in some of these heat Rich that the L are in second and third spot with looking good and certainly on the way through the very first round it wasn’t always gate number one that paid

    Off yeah that’s right we’re about to see if uh it changes rers game and Elite quarterfinal number one is go who’s going to get the whole shot they head down the hill quilling is aor in the middle of the pack dode heading for that first turn with Marcus D where

    Is Eddie cler he’s in there in about SP the moment so he’s got a little bit of work to do if he wants to make it in but it’s yoris do leading it out he’s in there in one Leo G and Marcus D where is quill Isador of Great Britain by there

    In5 oh bias the local Rider has hit the deck that’ll be massive disappointment for him that’s Tuan of France in there in that third spot diing for Here Comes quillin Is aor couldn’t quite make the move stick in that final corner it’s going to go do Gan one and two two and

    Through in three ding four beans out isidor’s out cler out all shocks in quarterfinal number one what an Turn Up For The Box the riders that were Huntly favor getting ejected out unceremoniously the French putting three riders in and through by my Reckoning there uh it was a really good startop as

    They came in through fastest time in through to the gate was y do but we just saw bias hit the deck there and that was just was that a clip of Wheels yeah he clipped somebody’s back wheelers as they went through that second straight and that’s what cost him the foot came out

    And down he went and that was his round one of the world cup over with and bman the home favorite the home Rider not making it through but that’s not unusual it is a step up isn’t it when you go from under 23 up into the elite racing

    Yeah I’m sure Rico be had big expectations for Whole World Cup round number one as did Michael Bas but they’ve got another opportunity to come back and try again in round two so rounds one and two coming from rotor in New Zealand of the UCI be makes racing

    World Cup with me m pain and Rich E here great Heat number one with gion taking a top spot not a particularly fast heat in some ways there because we’re over 30 seconds but we did have some rain between the early qualifying uh and the early rounds through to this and it may

    Well be that little bit of rainers just slowed that track down a little bit it’s possible but I don’t see it being too much of an issue for these Riders and uh certainly as they line up there you know you’ve got Roman Mayu Paddy sherck Simon markard Jeremy Ren Carell so there’s so

    Much speed and wattage on that gate now we’re about to see I think another fast lap go down well let’s see if ran May is going to be able to to do that in those rainbow strikes the iconic rainbow bof world champion blazed across here s

    Chest he’s lined up on the stop but he has the former world champion Simon markup right on the inside Roman mayo though at dark glasses on he’s going to be looking to nail the whole shot here today let’s watch the Riders they’re ready to start rers ready watch the game

    DRS on quarterfinal number two for the many leite markart on the inside Here Comes Roman Mayu as well Pat sherck just been shuffled a little bit further back there on the 21 three plate he’s trying to get his way into a top four and if there’s one Rider who knows how to make

    His way through a pack it is Patty Shar but it’s made out in front markart in there in two that looks like the Colombian in there in for that’s going to be W Nano marillo so it’s all be mixed up cinos in the in three look at

    The pressure coming on the five of rank carella as they go in and out of the final Corner Mayu marar ctio one two and three rank carella is he going to hold on and get that four it’s been very close at the line photo finished with Dave vanderberg Daniel France in six

    Paty sherck unfortunate and out in eight no problems for Roman Mayu but I’d love to see the results of that photo finish it’s could be incredibly close as they came in and through I couldn’t split them as we saw them come down down into that line let’s take a look back quick

    Start here and it certainly looked like Mar may had the best of the starts here they used the gate position but may was right on the inside there and he still made it pain wasn’t this inside line that counted big dive up the inside there by sharck but he couldn’t make it

    Stick and actually rank Carell the man who accelerated the most in that midsection yeah he certainly did but he had pressure from Dave vanderberg as he came into the line it was so so close may you take in the win and we just await the uh the final results and see

    You went through oh it’s vanderberg who goes through above rank Carell rankel ejected out and look at that it is 100th of a second 100 2,000 of a second they separated hardly anything between them and that’s not even the width of the rubber on the tire realistically is it

    Richard that the level and speed these guys are moving at so we are going to move on from Heat number two into heat number three here in the elite men’s competition in our quarterfinals our European Champion here with PL 313 Nick kimman well no surprises gate eight for Nick here at

    Rotor why is he doing this Rich for people who are maybe not Avid BMX fans yeah Nick Kim’s got a history of taking gate 8 he’s out there on the outside he’s he’s only got got one Rider next to him he’s got plenty of time to wind up

    His uh his famous first straight speed before they get to turn number one and it’s obviously an indicator that he’s feeling quite good today okay well let’s see if Rich’s Clairvoyance is going to pay off here oh will he be proven wrong on the inside Ross cin on gate number

    One he’s got the opposite side but this is going to be close watch out for Isaac Kennedy he’s two3 of the way across will he be able to make it count get drops on the third of the quarterfinals Ross Cullen on the inside Isaac Kennedy in the middle as they head

    Towards turn number one it’s very very even at the minute here comes dick kimman working his way across from the outside so kimman in there in about third spot of the minute Ross Cullen back there revive got to push hard and make those moves as they go into the

    Turn kimman on the inside as they go into turn number two but it’s Kennedy out in front he’s in there in one Carona Garcia in two lson of the USA getting in in there as well he’s all over the back of NE kimman as they go into that final

    Corner lson diving underneath that’s just blocked Kim a little bit here they come down the straet is the Kim G to go out Kennedy goes through Carona Garcia in two Cameron Larson in three renold Blanc in four so Kim out Ross culling out the shocks continue here in round

    Number one of the UCI BMX racing World Cup and look at the state of Ni Kim after that he is absolutely in bit and uh that was a definite turn up for the books you thought kimman was going to be in here as he came around I certainly

    Did and then it all started to go wrong yeah he got uh moved on by Cameron L I think in that second turn and that’s what cost him a little bit of momentum and uh yet there was just a little touch there and it was just enough to uh just

    Knock NE off his game that little bit and they were battling again in that final Corner meanwhile renal Blanc was working his way up into that four spot just stealing it away from Ni and jam o Brink was in there as well it was also close at the line no problems for Isaac

    Kennedy though he took the win what a ride Kennedy going away top spot from kand Garcia L and blun going through bring kimman Smith and cin all out in this heat number three we have seen so many upset so many changes to the expected order that we saw Maybe coming

    In at the end of 23 into 2024 is it going to continue onwards well one man who’s going to want to do this is wood tell us why Cameron was the man here Rich yeah Cameron wood was the only non-french winner of the 2023 season he’ll be looking for another world cup

    Win let see if he can get it well he’s going to have to take it out the French with Arthur pill in here he could well keep the French streak rolling but you can’t discount anyone of the Riders who have made it through this far and remember of course Riders racing time

    And time again that accumulated fatigue that accumulated effort is going to start to take its toll the further through we go will they find anybody who hasn’t got the pace to go to the end of the racing this the final one of our men’s Elite quarterfinals

    Looks like we just had a very slight delay Cameron wood just resetting himself there in gate number two got sedric booty right there on the inside of him on that 149 plate Yen ugar of the Netherlands in game number three now they’re back down again here they’re

    Going to have to do a restart here now for people who are racing on uh BMXs for the very first time the gate can be a really intimidating Place uh and it doesn’t always go right uh we’ve seen Riders go over the top of the gate before now getting their timing wrong

    People don’t get the balance right but it can sometimes be the gate that doesn’t fire at the right time it’s a really accurate piece of kit but the Riders are bashing a lot aren’t they yeah sometimes you can just nudge that gate with your front wheel I don’t think

    It’s enough to do any real damage it’s just it’s a case of having that perfect timing you’ve got a random gate starts so where think there’s about 25,000 different combinations of when it can possibly fall so it’s just a case of reacting fast getting out in front and

    Doing what needs to be done to get to the bottom of that start Hill first and for people who are maybe not Avid BMX fans what would the majority of these Riders train would they be training there in insurance is it the explosive power what where’s that Focus I mean

    You’re regularly down at your local BMX Club you’ve got a youngster who’s up and coming in the sport where what do you look for do you look for skill you looking for power where’s that Focus staying at yeah I think as a younger Rider the most important thing you can

    Do is build your skills ride your bike enjoy it have fun those are the most important things and then when you get into those age groups where you really need to be building your strength and power it’s all about those first three four five pedals get to the bottom of

    The hill as fast as possible and be the first Rider into that first turn and the Riders going to be used to this aren’t they I mean there’s there isn’t a in fact to be honest there’s not discipline in cycling I’m looking enough I I absolutely love my bike racing there’s

    No I make no secret no bones about that I love my BMX racing you know uh from my very first days watching it a fernville BMX track back in what was basically the the 80s and the ’90s it’s it’s evolved so much and yet some things are the same you don’t always get

    A good start there’s always things that can change that you might not get the perfect start you might have a false start there might be a reason for a delay it could be on the track and a v drone it could be at the cyc wherever it

    Is there all reasons why things change and how you deal with it on your head is as important as how you deal with it physically yeah I think the one of the best things about BMX racing for any Rider at any age is you’ve got to learn

    To adapt you’ve got to learn to adapt to situations that change in a split second and make decisions very very quickly and make the right decision and that’s a skill that you can take from the BMX track into the rest of your life at school at work whatever it might be and

    We just see them now testing that gate that gate is used throughout all of the BMX World Cup it is it’s a universe when it is tested regularly and of course the Riders will train on that gate as well so this is going to be very very

    Interesting to see how the Riders do with it which of the Riders are on there now they War much specifically don’t they so they they’re going to be doing a timed warmup they’re going to be making sure that they hit the top of that gate stood there ready to go at the right

    Time and then it doesn’t happen physically everything is just calming down isn’t it yeah I think what you’ll probably do is you’ll see the Riders just keeping moving they’ll keep themselves you know stretching that kind of thing just being in a position where you know those muscles are still ready

    To fire when they get the uh the instruction to get on that gate he’s ready to go and I think it’s just the case of keeping yourself physically ready mentally ready and just keep your head in the game for as long as possible and just not letting yourself be

    Distracted and that’s just part of being a you know a sportsman and a competitor so we’ll see now who’s been you know keeping the head in the game the longest well here we go let’s get ready to race here it is the fourth of our men’s Elite

    Quarterfinals it is going to be uh Joshua McLean Cedric bouty Alfredo Capo inter Miller Cameron wood ran goers in CE G as well as Arthur P and Petro beroni who will take this out all eyes potentially on Cameron wood but can Joshua McLean challenge him here we will

    See the Riders on the gate time to get those Riders up and get them away and racing okay Riders random start Riders ready watch the game last of the quarterfinals for the Min I’ve got my eye on Alfredo Campo and he’s making his move across from gate

    Number six Campo is he going to lead it into the turn Cameron Woods right there with him as well Cedric booty on the inside Here Comes pad gomas is in there in five of the minute ugar in six but it’s Cameron wood of Team USA out in

    Front being tracked by the French Rider uh P the former European Champion and World number two he’s in there in that second position booty in three it’s all a question of who’s going to get that four spot looks like campo’s been shered back uga’s making his move in that final

    Corner Gas is on his back wheel Cameron wood taking it to the line it’s going to go wood pad booty and I think he was ugar in that fall spot yes it was unfortunate result for alfredo Campo he started well but couldn’t hold it on to

    The Finish yeah not going to be the best of days for n the runs going through there and just taking a look at them coming through was that Ruben gomas I think cramping up I think on his right leg as he came in through the Finish he

    Was in position in the fifth place just coming round that turn he almost came through right on the mark he goes High here but you could just see a smooth R from the front front Cameron W absolutely nailed that yeah he did great lack from Cameron would let it from

    Start to finish Alfredo Campo I think will be bitterly disappointed especially after the start that he got but that’s the way BMX goes sometimes so our runers through wood p bouty and come in and through another heat done here our men’s quarterfinals now complete here at round

    One of the UCI BMX racing in the world cup from Row toow the clouds still up in the sky is quite muggy out there it’s quite hot as well so it is a quite stifling sweaty heat and that that humidity that’s brought on by the cloud and the heat very different to the

    Scorching blazing Sunshine that we’ve seen earlier on in the week that change will affect the Riders and it will affect how they need to prepare for this and how much fluid that need’s put on board let’s see which of our Riders are going to deal with this best here today

    Rich who’s your money on on this start line well you’ve got Mariana Baha twice Olympic champion and she’ll be looking for another world cut win as will the rider next to her that is Laura smoulders of the Netherlands she’ll be looking for World Cup win number 28 so certainly Laura got some uh

    Serious history in terms of winning World Cup rounds man of Valentino there on the outside Gabriella cillo right there on plate number 14 so here we go getting ready for the first of our women’s league quarterfinals the Riders lined up good to go who will take this

    Round G will it be the Queen B of BMX with that number 100 plate the final number one wom Elite underway looks like delay got a very good start but one R we got a better one is Laura smolders off the nland who’s going to lead it into the turn smolders

    In there in one oh banging P Delan getting together with Gabriella ble as they came out of the turn Judy BS worked the way up into two there’s Molly Simpson and I can see man on Val Valentino of France right there in the middle of the pack she’s in about fifth

    Spot of the minute and looking for a way round but Judy B in there in Tomb Lis moulders has checked out and gone I think as they go in and out of that final corner is smoulders bow Simpson one two and three looks like uh manam Valentino went down in that final Corner

    Delaney Vaughn’s going to pick up that fourth spot Gabriela ble in five Mariana pan out in six but Lura smoulders showed him a clean pair of heels in that first quarter a final well there have been a fair amount of speculation that last season Loris moders maybe backed off a

    Little bit as listening to r on a podcast not all that long ago and uh you were chatting there about whether she backed off in she’s going to come in because it’s Olympic year stronger it’s looking good she stayed clear this big traffic jam behind I mean they were

    Bumping and barging but more than New York tax certain hit bumpers yeah pen it was Malon Valentino who came off worst in that final Corner ended up on the ground as delay just nipped through for that fourth spot Marana P will be desperately disappointed with the sixth place in

    That quarterfinal and she was she’s been saying that she was feeling really that the Riders bring her on all these fantastic Riders she gets to race with that competition is intense and it shows when you have P going through in sixth position somebody who was very Untouchable not all that long ago Loris

    Smolders though wow absolutely F 36.4 4 91 that is a quick time on this track it certainly is as we look at the next Heat lining up Heat number two and pton RoR of the USA in this one alongside Felicia stansel Felicia the 2022 World Champion in the women Elite

    Class but we can’t forget the number one plate Rider it is Beth shra from Great Britain with those rainbow bands UCI BMX racing world champion on some blistering form looking very happy on that start line smiling away very relaxed there Rich yeah Felicia stansel in gate number

    Three for Team USA she got kly Kane also with the USA in gate four Beth out in gate number six maybe giving herself a little bit of Rune n neighbor hard on the inside and the return of Vanetta pone out in late number eight here rers random

    Rers final number two for women Elite is go Bethany sha working way across from the outside battling with Payton RoR as they head towards turn number one shria getting the whole shot RoR in there in two Felicia stanel in three that is na neighbor hard in there in four at the

    Minute but shria starting to open up a lead now nice double manual there through that second straight and into the second turn so the Olympic and World Champion is out in front in this quarterfinal the American Duo chasing her down Abad in the in that fourth spot she’s coming under pressure though from

    Carly Kane of the USA who’s in there in five but there’s no doubt who’s going to take this sha takes the win Ryden nor for two stanel for three NY nebor hard for four Carly Kane World Cup debut but out in five but there was no doubting it

    Was shria out in front and taking the win so be sha in a whole different time zone to the rest of the pack there the world champion showing her colors early here today she could have backed off there Rich much earlier is that a waste

    Of energy I mean she kicked out she shut the door on everybody else she slammed it in the face before she came into turn number one and then she just kept on going surely she could have even almost eased off a little bit there for a world

    Champion pacing is going to be critical all the way through yeah I think I think what was on Beth’s mind is the fact that she wanted a fast lap time for gate pick in the next round which means she would have pushed all the way through to the

    Line she wants that pick she was slightly slower than Lura moulders in the previous one but she’ll be there with thereabouts when the gate drops for the semi-final so there we go there are your confirmed TI sub 37 second for our round wi right nor Tes neard go through

    In second third and fourth of places qualifying to move up into our semifinals here at round one of the be makes racing World Cup from root here on the north island of New Zealand we’re going to move on to the third of our heat here we so CL here in the European

    Continental Champions Jersey but interestingly she’s going out in the middle we’ seeing gaps appearing really out on gate five but the rider who really blew everybody away last season say gakara she is the rider who we would expect surely Rich to be the rider taking this from the front yeah she’ll

    Be there thereabout she’s got aise Willoughby though 11 time USA BMX pro Champion right there next to her in Gate two D Balor in gate three Zoe kayson’s in the middle in four but you can’t out count out Lauren Reynolds and Megan Williams on the outside okay random start rers ready watch the

    Gate so Kiara and Willoughby gets one and two and if there’s one R who’s got some horsepower it is at least Willoughby I think she got that first jump wrong though and that’s allowed say sakakibara to lead it into turn number one Zoe Clay’s right there as well Lauren

    Reynolds in three at least will it be in four daughter Balor in there in five battling with Megan Williams the hometown favorite from New Zealand but it’s last year’s World Cup champion sayas kakibara of Australia out there in the lead being pursued by the European

    Champion Zoe plac as they go in and out of that final Corner Lauren Reynolds looking very comfortable in three Alise will it be in there in four is she going to take the pressure from Balor going through in five let’s see who got it at the strike Megan Williams was there as

    Well didn’t do enough to overhaul Elise Willoughby C A kakibara though picking up from where she left off in 2023 she was Rock Solid on that gate everybody else was moving on that gate start she didn’t move a muscle until she needed and then she get down at least

    Willby first jump she said she got this slightly wrong I think she just over jumped it ever so slightly you couldn’t quite tell from the replay but it was something that caused her to lose a little bit of momentum she was still there in that fourth spot chasing down

    Her training partner Lauren Reynolds who was in there in three Zoe clayon was comfortable in two but there was no doubt who was going to go across that line first the 77 of sayak kakibara from Australia well she’ll be looking forward to when we go to Brisbane she almost

    Gets to a home Tracks Of course racing regularly in France as well but she was the undoubted winner here and look at that two Riders inside that 37 second marker this time round with clayon Reynolds and willby Following kakibara over the line Williams and B out this

    Time around which leaves us with our final round to go our final heat to go and we see the second of the smolders in here with Merill smolders going to be lining up on the gate but it is a pretty packed heat again isn’t it yeah it

    Definitely is you’ve got me krop in there who’s already won a World title as under 23 women Rider there is mer smoulders of the Netherlands lined up in gate number one the Olympic bronze medalist so matching the medal that Sister Laura won in London in 2012 the

    13 that belongs to Axel etien from France pure concentration behind those goggles and uh out on the outside Camille M also of France on that treble s plate giving herself plenty of room to move there’s a lot of room around uh Talia bford at the moment I mean she

    Almost could have a clean run pretty much down if she can get the kick out and away but that gate has not proved too good so far let’s have a look how this one unfolds as they head down the hill a len not getting the best of starts But Here

    Comes me kelstrup of Denmar just going into that second spot as they go in and out of the turn chasing down Merill smolders that looks like T bord in three and man on vinra going through in that fourth position there’s a big battle going on and here comes aelen on the

    Outside Camille Ms in there as well and she’s going to try and pick her way through from six but there’s no doubt who’s out in front smolders in there in one Ming Kel in two Axel eten in three VRA holding on for four coming under pressure though as they come towards the

    Line is she going to hold it on I think she is VRA goes throughing that F spot smolders takes the win Kel dropping two etti and did very well to get back into that third spot good racing though from Mar smallers not half that was a fantastic

    Display you saw she kick down really strongly from the start using that inside line a big push on the outside both the uh kelstrup and bord moved up but by the end you could just see after all the moves being made in there a French Rider in that number 13 Jersey

    Axel eten really strong right by her her positioning is fantastic okay uh smallers taking the win prop krop and Exel making the move So here we go this are your confirmed results M spers from krro to ET to VRA that is our women’s Elite quarterfinals Done so we’ve moved on to our semi-finals here at the UCI BMX racing World Cup round number one so far it’s been an absolute blast I mean we have seen some absolute crack already we can’t quite believe we’re just heading into the semifinals and we’re going to kick off with the men’s under

    23 major surprises for you any any big shots here that that that that you’ve see that you think wow I wasn’t expecting that yeah I was certainly expecting Ross cullins to make it through the quarterfinals we’ve had some wide open racing on a wide open track

    And that is set to continue here with the men under 23 semi-finals they are lining up for Heat number one Oliver Moran Noah Elton Kip sty faser Jack greenoff Curtis cray Marcus leth James Cutter Williams and Harrison Davis of Australia very very evenly matched in semifinal number one uh Australia very

    Well represented and the home fans will have their eye on Jack greenoff they will indeed the track looking fantastic itic down here as our riders line up just under a little bit of cloud cover here James Cutter Williams looking strong in his heat so will he be able to

    Take it out he’s right on the outside here that doesn’t mean he’s in the worst position by any stretch of the imagination on his inside Marcus left in gate number seven looking like he means business alongside him because this crate of Canada in gate number six let’s

    See if today’s the day will he get through will it be a close sh we’re going to see he if he’s able to take it out alongside him then you can see we have got Harrison Davis led up in Gate five then alongside him we have Jack

    Greenoff of New Zealand he’s going to be bringing in the crowd as you can hear they are ready to cheer him in and down the line beside him Kip faser the man who looks so good in his quarterfinals he’s gone into gate three gate two is

    Nor Elton of Australia and that means in gate number one it is going to be Oliver Moran here of Australia the Riders lined up they’re ready to go it’s going to be the first of our men’s semifinals in the under 23 competition okay Riders random start rers ready watch the

    Gate a little switch there from no Elton on the gate I’m wondering if he that’s just put him off that little bit but he’s right there in the middle of the back as they head towards turn number one Moran Elton one and two into the corner James Cutter Williams in there in

    Three Marcus left he’s working his way underneath and it looks like Green’s been shuffled back so he’s got all the work to do if he walks the make it through into the final Moran the man out in front at the moment Elton in there in three here comes the move K St faser

    Trying to work his way in as well James Cutter Williams going down the outside he’s going to have to do a pretty good high low in that final Corner if he wants to make it in but it’s oliv him around Marcus left Noah Elton that you

    One two three who’s going to get the four green offs worked his way in looks like the New Zealand Rider gets in there in that four spot yes he does stal faser OU in five and greenoff did a great great job to working his way back into a

    Top four position that was like picking up a p Carson throwing him down that straighten and blowing the way around that corner In The Wind they were all over the place I mean the positions changing some very sketchy moves but very interestingly from the start Noah Elon Jack greenoff

    2.4 exactly each so there wasn’t even a thousandth of a second between them on their start down that start ramp yeah it was very very close I saw a little twitch from nowhere else and I thought that just put up ever so slightly but it didn’t affect him as he went down that

    First straight but meanwhile Oliver Moran was working his way down the final straight taking the winning by some considerable margin Le in two Elton was happy in three but greenoff did a great job to pull that through in four he came flying through k stasher out of the top

    Run there out of the top four so not going to make it through the Riders making the way up onto the ramp sending the steps at the back Us in the most of the surrounding terrain to make those steps a little bit less High than they are some of our flatter terrain tracks

    But as you can see they are the first of your qualifiers in the men’s under 23 semi-finals R left outed and green off rich I mean that is wor that was worthy of a final yeah take a big deep breath because we’ve got more excitement to come and if that’s the semi-final

    Racing I can’t wait to see what the finals are going to be like a little bit later on but we’re going to be moving on to heat two of the men under 23 as we see Roman Mayu work his way up the starts Hill for the uh many Elite

    Semi-finals that will be with us very very shortly our fans in the stands having a good time certainly enjoying the weather here in Rod New Zealand and people coming from all around the globe from darbishire in the UK right away down from the Suther of hemisphere the Northern Hemisphere coming to watch the

    Riders here they’re going to be watching The Men’s Under 23 semi-finals the second of our semifinals and this could be anybody’s if you had to pick a rider I love doing this who would you pick one Rider who’s who’s going to get this today I think

    The rider I’m going to have my eye on for entertainment value in this semi-final Federico Capello hit the podium in Santiago deero in 2023 and he’s got some skills and he certainly knows how to make moves in turns well he’s got some whiters here today the

    Wind continuing to blow as the twi Down Start straight in a headwind over that big gap jump the Riders lined up and ready Kan gin along alongside Marco radel for Italy he has alongside himis Russo of France still sat down on that bike relaxed already up on the top

    Of those pedals it is Jordan Callum Callum looking like he really wants to get this underway to his right to our left Samuel o ready then it is going to be Joshua Jolly of Australia again chilled out relaxed the tradem Ping gloves there and then you

    Can see beside him it is going to be the pick of Rich E so don’t want the commentates Cur to strike Jord sorry FICO Capelli alongside Bennett greenu here on the inside we will see will it be capello’s day he looked good he rode strongly in

    Santiago de esto can he do the same here today it’s round one it’s the second of our semifinals which of our man under 23 are going to take this ready watch the gate second semi-final for the man under 23 leaving the gate he got very busy in

    The middle capello’s in the middle of it as they head towards turn number one working his way down the inside Bennett green off and lisis on Russo going one and three at the minute capello’s threaded the needle he’s in there in two that’s Marco relli going through in that

    Four spot Joshua Jolly in the ining five greenoff still leading it though into the turn greenoff Capello Russo relli oh Joshua Jolly making his move he’s gone from fifth to third brilliant high low in that second corner and as they go in and out of the final turn greenoff still

    Leading it through the New Zealand fans are going wild capello’s in there in two Jolly great ride from him to take that third spot who got the fourth Gibbons stole it at the line came from nowhere Russo out in five but the man of the moment in that semi-final was Joshua

    Jolly a Joshua Jolly what a move on the way through I tell you something he might be good on the dance floor that was some move he went to the right he went to the left he died his way through I mean we talk about threading the

    Needle with Capello earlier on there as he went in but that was some race to watch let’s watch that back Capello got a good start it wasn’t the best R Elli was right up there and he went from hero to zero pretty much in this round yeah brusso came across from

    The outside and made his move pretty early and I thought he’d done enough to work his way in at this point he was looking good right there next to relli Federico Capello was comfortable in that second spot but he was Joshua Jolly look at that high low fifth to third held it

    On into the final Corner meanwhile Russo and relli was battling and that allowed King Gibbons a little bit of time just to work his way in steal that four Spot while Russo was otherwise entertained with the Italian tell you something Jolly that turn that was so sharp as he

    Came in from The High Line down in he turned that I’m not sure how he kept traction on the track but he did he comes through in third spot there gof Cabello jolly and Gibbons the Riders who will go through into our finals in the men’s under

    23 competition don’t forget you can and catch up with other full results after this at u.org and make sure you tag in any pictures if you’re down on site You’ been watching um you can see the tags they pop on your screen every time we

    Get those Graphics up but we want to see those pictures and don’t forget of course make sure you dive on down to your track side get some BMX racing wash in live in person we’re going to be watching here the men’s Elite semifinals they are going to be lined up ready to go

    And this is going to be a cracker at the moment those clouds are looking darker and darker by the minute Rich are we going to see another dumping down on the track I mean the track service here it’s TP bed it’s t asphal round the turns it’s a limestone it’s going to hold

    Together these Riders are used to this nobody’s going to be faced by this a star studed lineup including Roman Mayu yeah Roman Mayu lining up on uh gate number four I think in this semi-final he’s got karon Larson to deal with no which is uh a difficult job in itself

    With the form that he’s been in leading into this round in rarua the 237 gate number eight Theo Tuan from France the 209 in gate number seven Magnus D from Denmark and as we mention his name he appears in gate number six currently leading the USA BMX pro standing that is Cameron

    Larson gate number five on the two plates never count him out the former European champion from France that these are the pilard gate four on the one plate the world champion in the rainbow jersey the World Cup champion as well Roman Mayu gate three from the USA on the 12

    Plate took a World Cup win last year that is Cameron Woods on the 70 out of Columbia Beto Kona Garcia G number one on the inside rocking that seven play out of France the former World under 23 world champion it is Leo Gan so all the Heavy Hitters in this one

    Plenty of speed plenty of action it’s about to go down in semi-final number one so eight Riders four to go through to our finals four Riders objective from the comp comption time to see who can make it count when the going get tough when we head in to our Finals okay Riders random start rers ready watch the gate semi-final number one is underway I’ve got my eyes on the middle of the gate with meu and PAD as they head towards turn number one but the man out front early doors he Cameron Larson of the USA Under Pressure though from the

    Rider from Denmark Magnus D who’s in there in that second spot but it’s lson leading it out here comes Roman Mayu and Cameron wood so the Americans getting involved and it’s lson still holding on to it or di trying to get oh Cameron wood slides out hits the deck in the

    Second turn Cameron Larson still uppr right though Roman Mayu in and out of the final Corner Magnus d looks like he’s going to make his very first World Elite final Kona Garcia going through in three Cameron Larson taking the win Roman Mayu in two but disappointment for

    Cameron wood how did Cameron wood not take anybody out when he went down there they he he parted the waves as he went down it was absolutely astounding to see the Riders I mean the Split Second reaction there the start here away Mayo didn’t get what was the start we were

    Expecting I certainly was expecting to see him almost lead from the good he goes up the inside here he can’t really make it stick though coming in and this is where wood comes in he goes round the bike goes down and whilst everybody goes wide he delays them but even at this

    Stage you could see those positions could potentially change yeah definitely and it was uh very very busy as they got towards the line and there was a last gasp throw of the bike by Leo Gana and I think he did enough to overhaul Magnus Ty of Denmark who was on the verge of

    Making his very first many League final and there is the result D yes the Unlucky man in five Cameron larsson’s in super superb form and he’s carried it into round number one of the UCI BMX racing World Cup and Scot the mullet of Mayu on the way through as well putting

    Him into second place not so much party at the back so much just sitting in second place wondering if he can push his way back up for the men’s finals so the first of our semifinals done and dusy C Wood not finish in our next semi-final about to startop the women’s

    Elite Riders getting ready to go as well very different images of our rers some chatting some just sitting staying focused down at the start line but up at the gate it is men’s Elite semifinal number two this with three Swiss Riders it’s good to see the Swiss strong coming into

    This stage of the competition yeah definitely and one Rider who’s got her speed and skills gate number eight is Rena Blan from Switzerland um certainly will be looking for some good stuff from him 211 from the Netherlands D is Yan ugar he’s there gate number seven gate six on the 149

    The 2017 Junior man world champion thatby Cedric gate six from the Netherlands on the 1 192 just announced that he’s about to be a father later in the year congratulations to Dave vanderberg on the template returning from injury for the green and gold of Australia it’s Isaac

    Start this the second of our semi-final four Riders through to the final which four is it going to be So long long hold here we go Riders ready second semi-final underway Isaac Kennedy in the middle day vanderberg in there as well looks like yoris daughter he’s going to lead it into the turn though but he’s got pressure coming from Cedric booty it’s booty in there in that

    Second spot oh Isa Kennedy’s dived onne yor D leading it out so it’s do Kennedy booty that looks like o Blanc in there in that four spot so the Swiss are well represented in this one who’s got the five oh diving underneath Simon marot of the Swiss a three four and five all

    Battling for positions in that Men Elite final yoris do leading it out Isaac Kennedy looking good on his return from injury he’s in there in two Booty’s going to get the three who’s going to get that four spot markart taking it to the line do taking the win Kennedy booty

    Markart Reno Blanc was The Unlucky rider for the Swiss Squad but yoris do out in run and Isaac Kennedy I’m going to be watching him in that final a little bit later well he absolutely dived into that second place spot what a move by him he was almost blocked out coming into to

    Jump number one jump two he still pushed back but as he came into this turn he dived up the inside he held position and by strength alone I think he managed to hold on behind him that Swiss contingent were nearly in danger of taking each other out coming round wide on that Sur

    As it came in through though do well clear on the front here looking very strong and do well he’s started this season as he ended the last one pretty much yeah he did superb lap there from uh yoris D but I was so busy watching The Swiss battle going on and we’re

    Trying to work out who would be the odd man out and uh yeah unlucky for renold Blanc in that one he’s going to have to come back and try in so here we go at the end of the men’s semi finals here at the UCI BMX racing

    World Cup in rotor in New Zealand round number one doe Kennedy booty and Mar make the way through to the men’s Elite finals it’s going to be an absolute store but can’t wait this track is absolutely delivering by the bucket load at the moment I’m sure our young fans

    Are going to be inspired who will be the next Roman may who’s going to be the next best dver our world champion I bringing their rainbow bands down into New Zealand and showing them off in style good to see our Riders smiling laughy down on the start line here as

    They get ready to head out with the bres are up because the rain is coming down now Eskimos might have 27 wordss for snow but we have about 400 particularly in laner for the rain us yorman we never get wet on the Eastern side of the country but here in New Zealand is

    Coming down by the bucket load it is teaming it down but I don’t think it’s going to be longlasting here today it’s blowing in and through nice of our weather graphic to update itself to rain that’s really good great to see it’s out it’s coming down pretty heavy here which

    Is coming down it is something or othering it down our production team in Scotland are telling us it is definitely dri which is the GL weian for we saw a little bit of that up in Glasgow for the world championships the women’s Elite Riders are getting ready to line up rich

    For those people who are not necessarily into BMX does it stop for rain uh no it doesn’t We Carry On we we’re a Hardy Bunch as as BMXers so uh yeah unless it’s something fairly dramatic we will be carrying on and those Riders will be used to riding in the r they’ll know

    What to do they’ll adjust their uh their game plan accordingly and uh in gate number eight for the Netherlands it is Judy B gate seven for the USA on the 31 it is Delaney Bourn gate six on the 175 the 2022 women under 23 world champion meing

    Kelstrup gate five for the 13 plate for France it’s Axel etn gate four on the 65 the European Champion out of Switzerland it’s Zoe Clon gate three on the sixth play out of Australia frequent World Cup main maker it’s Lauren Reynolds gate number two on the 22 bronze medalist in the Olympics it’s

    Merl smoulders and right next to her on the two plate looking for World Cup win number 28 Loris moulders and as the rain continues to fall we are going to go with the women Elite semi-finals And so as the torrential rain hits the track here in rarua the women Elite semi-finals are underway the smolder sisters battling into the corner here comes me kelstrup as well it might get a little bit greasy as they go in and out of those turns but out front at the

    Minute it is the smaller sisters going one and two Marilyn Laura side by side Zoe Clay’s in there in three Axel and in four oh Zoe clayon slides out hits the deck as they go in and out the final turn Laura and Merill smolders that

    Looks like Judy B think in there in that three so it looks like the Netherlands are going to go one two and three who’s going to get the four on the line did Lauren Reynolds get it yes she did Axel eten it’s a photo finish but there was no doubt the top three

    The future’s bright the future’s orange I like the new orange I didn’t like the old orange I’ll be really honest the old Netherlands colors which were like almost a white with orange little Polk dots on there didn’t really work for me but the new orange I

    Definitely like mer smold is the last to be ready for the start she almost wasn’t ready on time battling it out here as it came into this turn Clay’s at this stage thrown the bike about very happily in but it wasn’t to stay that way she came

    In round this turn that door was shot on her and you could see she was on the floor dejected he was just overlapping the wheels coming in but the two schmers coming in ahead of bow reyolds looking good ahead of eten I think but let’s see

    The results they’re going to be on your screens very shortly with the reers very nice backdrop here it is Reynolds from etn there uh but by what is 101,000 of a second that’s pretty close when it comes to getting yourself in and L to see zo is getting your back up and

    On the way around now the track here is designed for torrential weather uh we were talking at the start of the show and this may be comment curs if you’re spectating our apologies but we did say plenty of vegetation down there it may well be a sign that is quite damp at

    Times it’s definitely damp now but our rers are the world’s best they’re here they raceing all weather it doesn’t stop them and they’re going to be taking to the track now we have say kakibara up against Beth Sher those two could be the focus of this but you can’t Overlook

    Anybody here at least Willoughby didn’t look as hot as maybe we were expecting in the quarterfinals no but anything can happen in the semi-final stage as we look at bethan of Great Britain lining up in gate number six uh gate number five on that seven plate quietly going about her

    Business today it’s manam vinra from the Netherlands the 44 out of Canada and that is Molly Simpson gate number three on the 11 Play Olympic silver medalist it’s Elise Willoughby of Team USA and right there next to her on the 15 it’s pton Ryo but on the inside side gate number

    One on the 77 plate your current World Cup champion in women Elite say sakakibara of Australia just taking a look there at Bethany shria and Felicia stansel in gate number seven with na neor hard in gate eight so the Riders making sure they’ve got that grip secure on the

    Handlebars they’re ready to go time to go racing here Ro to ready second semi-final women Elite heading down the hill who’s got the nose out front early looks like B finish Reaver of Great Britain and say aaki bar of Australia going one and two into the

    Turn least will on the inside working it away into three and there goes manam VRA of the Netherlands inside the top four but they are all over the back of as they comeing towards that second Corner Payton Ry nor trying to get involved in N neighbor hard as well looks like be

    Just trying to make a move now or Willoughby trying to secure that third spot but out front it’s shria sakakibara the world champion and the World Cup champion going one and two as they go to the line shria is going to pick up the win shria sakakibara one and two I’ve

    Got a Feeling vstrom might have stolen that three from Willoughby not quite by the look of things Felicia stanel out in five but man on vinra picking up that third spot and working away into the women Elite final well what a ride is the comes out the rain continues to come

    Down there are a few bules form particularly coming into the last tight right hand turn you can see the water spraying up from the Riders but as the sun came out the Riders kicking away the shadow cast down this Big R hitting root into the first jump and that was really

    Critical it set the stall out for shria and Sakara and really it didn’t look like they were going to be touched maybe just being a little bit smart here just making sure they do enough but not too much yeah they just they’ got to be slightly careful in the turns as they

    Gone from very dry to very wet in a short space of time so uh yeah it could be difficult and treacherous but no such problems for Manan VRA and Alise Willoughby who battled down for that third and fourth spot sh and sakakibara going through Willoughby for three vinra

    For four and they’re going into the final so you can see the confirmed results shus kakibara will be VRA through St up right now and Simpson and make sure you give at UCI BMX racing and following do gates u.org for all of the cycling disciplines across all of the

    UCI different types of cycling whether that’s snow bike cycle Cross Road Track or BMX now the track here is designed to drain and this is a really good example of it it’s absolutely teaming it down here the there was a puddle just coming in uh to one of the turns that we were

    Just seeing spraying up and at the moment you could just see that the track just starting to drain across you can see the bottom of each of those jumps as you go through there is plenty of water coming through let’s see what’s going to happen next Races so we’re moving into our finals here a great race coming up because this is our Men’s Under 23 finals we have blue sky sunshine and pouring rain in rot toer the Riders though I’m sure will be absolutely scorching down the track at the moment though everybody just trying

    To keep warm not wanting to get too wet at this stage whether that’s the TV crews are riders that really interesting to see now rich just quickly for anybody who’s maybe used to different disciplines other disciplines maybe the road or maybe on the cyc you see Riders changing their tire pressure slightly if

    It rains if the conditions change the amount of grip is that the same in be Max um possibly you know I think it depends on the actual rou of themselves and what they like but I can’t see many people making many changes as we move

    Into this Ben of 23 final and you look at the start list though got Oliver Moran benett greenoff Federico Capello Joshua Jolly Marcus leth Kan gimons Noah Elton and Jack greenoff so certainly a very very even men under 23 final and I for one I’m excited to see what’s going

    To happen next well let’s see who can deal with the very changeable weather here today the sun coming out the rain is going away the track team here just getting the brushes out to take some of the real big deep sections brush them down into the drainage laid underneath

    The track here and that means that the Riders will then have a clean run in and through got to say a massive thank you to our volunteers who are working out and around the tracks They are the lifeblood of Cycle Sport around the globe they make the events happen and a

    Big big thank you for them for putting it on the event and make sure all of our ridders get a race yeah King given lining up in ging number eight for Australia in this B under 23 final the 515 in gate number seven belonging to Noah Elton gate six on the 511 plate

    Listen to The Raw for Mr Jack greenoff 516 out of Denmark that is Marcus leth gate four on the 535 great move in that semi-final early run to go from fifth to third it’s Joshua jolly and the man capable of making moves in Corners keeping his entertained he Federico Capello of

    Argentina another big Raw on the 55 expected from Mr Bennett greenoff and on the inside for Australia looking for his first men under 23 World Cup win it’s Oliver Moran and as I said a very very even final here for men under 23 it’s been a great addition to the World Cup Series

    Let’s see how this final unfolds okay rers random start rers ready G the first final of the year for man under 23 is go Le got a good one in the middle all the Moran maybe left a little bit late on the outside but can he make

    That inside line count as they go into the turn no it’s greenoff leading it through Moran in there as well and looks like Pell inside the top four battling with Elton but greenoff and I think it’s greenoff as well going into the turn one and two battling away Elton in three

    Oliver Moran’s in there in four capello’s been shuffled back but New Zealand possibly looking for a onew as they go in and out of the final Corner who’s going to get it as they come down the final straight it is greenoff taking it to the line on the 511 Jack greenoff

    Takes the win I think it was Benny greenoff in there in two let’s have a look at the result as they come across the line hugs all around fist bumps I think capello’s going to be a little bit disappointed especially with the start that he got but all action but definitely a win

    For New Zealand in this uh first round of the UCI BMX racing World Cup well that St Capello as you say maybe not what he wanted you can see getting squeezed a little bit here and he gets pushed down into what was sixth position quickly back up into fifth

    Place diving up the inside as we’ve seen him do earlier on but you can see greenoff coming down into this turn dives into position that was just perfect wasn’t it he got that position he wasn’t going to let it go he goes and runs wide uses all of the track here and

    The Run for the line by J re super smooth as he came in over the line no doubt about our winner and it’s a home win here what a way to kick off our finals here in Rosara let’s have a look I think we’re going to be the com thir

    Results very shortly I suspect May well be a photo finish for positions a little bit further back the crew getting ready to sweep a little bit more of what’s left of the rain the sun is out it is going to be a photo here we are look at

    That that is what you call close yeah tight finish here in the men under 23 final round number one of the UCI BMX racing World Cup here in rarua New Zealand and our fans certainly getting their money’s worth so one final down three to go got

    Under 23 on mens Le and on women’s Elite round off the racing here today in rotor this fantastic picture postcard sky as we look down on the road to rad track certainly giving us some very entertaining racing here today no wonder it’s used so often as a movie set for so

    Many many films as well as being a destination of Choice by those out on the Gap as they head out and round not everybody of course making the trip um we know that Ariel van Haren not making the trip for the American squad one of the coaches they going to be watching on

    And uh hopefully enjoying the racing doing their analysis afterwards I’m sure and uh lots of people making the trip across so long long old trips come across from South America yeah definitely was but the Colombian fans no matter where they are in the world they’re always enthusiastic so uh

    Certainly bringing the South American flavor to New Zealand as our fans start to dry off after that uh bit of a downpour so uh yeah it’s uh going to be a case of wet and dry I think today for the uh the BMX fans in br and here we go

    Very badly speaking of wet and dry we looked at the gate you can see that we have a very uh aggressive fabric it’s almost like a wet dry paper isn’t it on the top for the uh kick off from the top of the start R really interesting to

    See Jack congratulation to an amazing win how does it feel feels your first World Cup win on a World Cup first time in your home country yeah I’m just incredibly proud proud to be here in the fun of the New Zealand crowd in northa it’s my first World Cup final actually

    And it’s just a dream come true to be standing on top of the box in front of the home crowd what Was what was the last moment in your mind before the gate dropped or I could just hear everybody cheering when my My name got called and sameone benett and just the rain finally stopped just in time it was it was just perfect the gate choice is often very

    Important how important was it for you today well to be honest not really cuz i’ had last pick so it’s go what everyone didn’t ask what no one else wanted but um managed to make it work luckily thank you so much thank you very much oh great to hear from Jack Green up

    There very interesting to say not getting his choice gate pick but it doesn’t matter when the sun shines and the day is right it’s time to take away a win and he did that in sty I’m sure he’s going to remember forever a first World Cup win and done in style what

    Made him so good to well he was just the fastest Rider on the day Matt but you’ve got to work your way through you know 50 odd other riders in that under 23 category to be crowned the best in round number one of the UCI World Cup but certainly he made the most

    Of that gate pick even though it wasn’t the one that he wanted and he did enough to take it to the line and take the win Benny greenoff in there into Noah Elton of Australia going through in third and Oliver Moran taking that final fourth position his power out of those Corners

    Was incredibly strong he was putting in a b or two is came out from the corners it was being closed down at times but very interesting to see just how hard he was kicking out and away and in the end a 37437 the time for Jack gr up ahead of

    Bet and then it is no Elton oliv sorry Oliver Moran Joshua Jolly Fredo Capello Kane gibs and Marcus Le coming in and through don’tget all of the results will be up on the UCI website that’s www.ucci.com and make sure you give at _ BMX racing that’s _ BMX racing he follow

    Might be in a slightly different typ Zone to New Zealand and it’s great to see the fans lining the side of the track here it’s amazing track I absolutely loving this uh wooded surroundings and it’s actually one of the key things here isn’t it it stops

    That low Sun at the start or the end of the day intruding and blocking the rider sight lines um it really does stop that the very late and early sessions being a problem so uh no problems here today of course CU we’re right in the middle of

    They’ve got absolutely amazing I can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for us and you’re not going to have to wait long for round number two don’t forget all of the details on that UCI website www.i.org click on the disciplines click

    On BM next racing and then you’ll find The Race Hub with all the details of the racing schedules all the different rounds that we’re going to be heading to and then the world championships and of course on to the Olympics and we have no doubt seeing future stars on the way out

    There so some great finals so far time to head into our Elite men’s Final so it’s going to be our men’s Elite finals followed by our women’s Elite final the big guns are out to play it is our top category of Rider where our Riders progressed to to run through the majority of their careers and we’ve got some of our established stars and some

    Of our newer Stars making the way into the final here a very difficult final to call though Rich yeah very difficult indeed you look at that lineup yis do Isaac Kennedy Cedric Bry Simon marar Cameron Larson Roman Mayu maton Matel gona Garcia and Leo Gan it’s a who’s who

    Of international BMX and I can’t wait to see what this final is going in store for us well nether can our crowd they’re all down at the side here of the track in rotor our roers lined up and ready to go as you can see Kon Garcia from

    Columbia in gate eight in gate number seven is Leo gion of of France in gate number six Simon marker of Switzerland and then the world champion who took that title in Glasgow Roma Mayu lined up with that number one play and the rainbow bounce karon Larson on fire in

    His semifinals could well be the man to take it to everybody else but he’s got to keep cedrick booty of Switzerland at Bay and on Booty’s right Isaac Kennedy with the hot picks to take away the win at this round for Australia alongside yis do of France the man in gate number

    One he might be one of the older men of the BMX but I tell you something he’s like a fine one he gets faster and better quicker and stronger with age yeah this is going to be a close one I can’t wait to see what’s going to

    Happen I’ve got my eye on Cameron Larsson rers ready watch the game round number one of the 2024 UCI BMX racing World Cup the many leite final is underway heading down the hill towards turn number one who’s going to lead it into the tune Roman Mayu the 2023 World

    Cup Series winner out in front yoris do in there in two that looks like Isaac Kennedy in there in four and the Swiss is stacking up behind him Cedric booty and Simon markarts are in there markarts worked his way into three booties in there in four no sign of Cameron Larson

    From the USA at the moment as they head towards the final turn but it’s the rainbow stripes the world champion Roman Mayu of franu is going to bring it to the line chase down by yoris d d is going to get the two Simon marot for three Cedric booty for four Carona

    Garcia in five Kennedy in six Larson in seven Gan in eight but Roman Mayu starting 2024 as he finished 2023 jelle rich took the words right out of my mouth because it was so similar coming down that finishing straight there on the back there for rber May

    From the garer I tell you something he is absolutely close on with Rub quite often the Jersey can weigh heavily on a rider there’s extra pressure there’s extra press duties there’s extra duties for that world champion it hasn’t bothered him one bit has it he just seems to be absolutely flying

    Really interesting two French and two Swiss in the top four there but Roman Mayo absolutely looked good he wasn’t the fastest out at the gate necessarily but he made it count where it really mattered yeah I expected a little bit more from Cameron Larson in this final I

    Honestly thought he was going to be inside the top three with the way he’s been riding and the form he’s brought into this first World Cup but that’s just BMX RAC and I’m sure he he’ll uh be up there on the podium you know maybe in

    Round two or further along but as they went in in and out of that final Corner Roman Mayu being chased down by yoris D it was almost an action replay of some of the rounds from 2023 Simon markart taking that third spot and certainly Roman Mayu is in great form he’s going

    To be looking to be on that French Olympic team if he carries on riding the way he is and Simon marot is looking good is he’s almost back to his best here I mean you know you don’t become a world champion for nothing but he’s looking strong yeah he certainly is and

    There’s certainly a point of noting that Roman Mayu and Simon markart both have the same coach Kurt piard so uh he’s been working with both of those guys and whatever he’s doing it’s definitely working and he’ll be delighted to see two of his athletes on the

    Podium so we will be bringing you some words of wisdom no doubt from Roman Mayo while he makes his way down to the interview but let’s take a look at the confirmed results so your top three here today in third place I mark second place

    In Y St the world champion the man with the number one play on takes number one spot here in round number one of the UCI be makes racing World Cup in root to R in New Zealand Romo Mayo absolute class how does the first place here fit into

    Your expectation for the preparation of the Olympic games this year um I’ll say we we picked up where where we left off last season with the win we keep the the momentum going and the goal is to go all the way to to Paris like this was today the start gate Choice uh

    Important part of the success of the finals I think so I didn’t have much option CU I I had six Pi so there was an opening L five I just went in five it’s just less distance to do on the first TR and it was helpful

    And your battle with yoris was already a very very exciting story last year what can we expect for this year well maybe the same thing we’re just going to keep fighting each other and uh it’s good it’s a it’s a good uh good atmosphere to be around people that

    Just want to win and we just keep pushing each other and one more answer just a summary for our French Spectators uh congratulation so pretty much summary of His English there in French if you’re not a fluent FR speaker but basically a good day for him and looking forward to

    Many more runs like he has had previously so ran Mayo taking away top spot here was again from youris Do’s Countryman S Mar behind pretty much you could have almost predicted that podium in some ways and yet in other ways it was going to always come down to that

    Fight from the line May saying the line pick well it was important but another man who had picked number six uh as we heard I think from our under 23 winner as well but time for us to head down to the flower ceremony has taking away the

    Third place of the handshake on team here at rotoroa it is Sim Mar in third place second place for yoris DOI another Podium position for the Frenchman but he’s again looking across at his countryman it is the world champion Roman Mayu who kicks off his World Cup campign

    Here in rotor with the win Mar in three do in two Mayo in one R three class athletes three Riders looking as good as maybe we’ve ever seen them yeah definitely the uh the you know the momentum start to build now as they come into 2024 to head toward Paris and

    The Olympics and with the form that Roman mayo and yoris sod are in don’t be surprised to see them you know we’re in that French Jersey in Paris later in the year oh definitely not now we’ve had our men’s Elite final we’re going to move on to our women’s Elite final the final

    Race of the day the elite finals uh switching from the men’s and women’s as we move through each of the rounds uh so go through and it is going to be our women’s Elite the rounds off the competition at Round number one it’s been a great day action all the way

    Winners I just can’t wait to see how it unfolds so uh we’ll uh head up towards the top of the hill and run you through the Riders who are up there and first up Lane number eight of the six play out of Australia it’s Lauren Reynolds next up on the 3 three three

    Sorry 388 out of the Netherlands it’s Judy ba gate six she’s been in there most of the day on the one plate she’s wearing the rainbow jersey she’s the Olympic champion it’s Bethany shria of Great Britain game five on the inside of her on the seven plate for the Netherlands it’s man

    Onra gate four on the 11 for Team USA olympic silver medalist Elise Willoughby and last year’s World Cup Series winner on the 77 out of Australia it’s say sakakibara gate number two on the 22 Merill smoulders from the Netherlands and on the inside searching for World

    Cup win number 28 will it come in round one of the UCI BMX racing World Cup it’s Loris moulders eight fast Riders ready to go and who’s going to score first in 2024 okay Riders random start r ready watch the game women Elite ha Riders heading down the hill who’s going to be the first to the first turn cak kakibara looking like she got a great start at least will be right there as well Bethany shria working her way into two she’s battling

    With Laura smoulders as they come out of the turn meril’s in there in about five at the moment smolders Laura smoulders in there in two but out in front say sakakibara of Australia she’s opened up a two by length lead now over the World Cup winner 27 times that’s Lis moulders

    Be sha in a Podium position right now in three at least will it be in four Here Comes Lis moulders creeping up on the back of say sakakibara as they get to the line will she get her no she won’t say sakakibara takes the win for Australia lus molders in two Bethany

    Shrier in three Elise Willoughby in four and SE sakakibara again picking up where she left off in 2022 23 sorry with another win at tell you something she is absolutely on fire and her timing is impeccable she hasn’t necessarily looked the strongest the fastest all day but

    When it comes to the finals she pulled it out there Rich a absolute class on Wheels and goes out to go say thank you to the crowd this is one of the things we love about BM the Riders are so in touch with everybody ins Sid yeah

    Definitely the uh Riders always go out to acknowledge the fans after the won a World Cup and certainly the appreciate sayak kakibara of Australia and the effort and the work she puts in as she gets a big hug from her partner Roman Mayu two more wins going back to their

    Household this evening I’m sure they’ll be absolutely delighted but uh yeah just taking a quick look at the replay here you know they were pretty even coming out of the game but s got a great start at leise Willoughby was right there next to her s started to move across just

    Moved in front of Laura moulders and bety shria was trying to work way across from gate six and she was in that second spot until Laura smoulders dived underneath uh Alise Willoughby was in there in four Merill smoulders in five look like Lauren Reynolds was back there

    In about seven but meanwhile out in front C akakibara started to open up a lead and then Lura smoulder started to creep up on the back of him we’ve seen Lura smoulders creep up on people before down the final straight and steal away a last gas win but it wasn’t to happen

    This time sayah hold on to that one spot and uh yeah she’s delighted Lis moulders very close to win number 28 didn’t quite make it happen and Bethany shria starting well with a podium in the first race of 2024 so the Olympic champion in the Olympic year can’t take away TOS spot

    But it is a Podium for tras however kakibara even putting in a few pedal Stokes on that last run into the line to make sure of top spot smoulders on the way up into Foreman looking very very strong as she came in it was a close Run

    Race fantastic to watch and we are going to see our three Riders up in the FL we will be hearing from our race winner but here are your confirmed top eight with SH taking away the third place SM taking second kakibara taking a top spot say

    Sakara well let’s hear what she has to say she’s right down at interview this is going to be good Say congratulation you finished the season with the World Cup overall title how does it feels to win here on the first race yeah it feels amazing it really really does but yeah last year was definitely like an uncertainty year for me but when I finished so strong it kind

    Of set the standard for me not in terms of like results wise but the way the expectations I put on myself in order to perform Under Pressure so I think the biggest pressure was coming in for a new season and being able to replicate it and um yeah I’m actually quite surprised

    That I was able to do it and um yeah it gives me huge confidence coming into tomorrow and the rest of the season the next World Cup we will be in Australia what is the special preparation for the next days and then also for the World Cup in your home

    Country the same thing same thing and you know whatever I did today really worked so it’s just trying to replicate it every day doing the same thing and then especially coming into the next one which is we in Brisbane my home country and um the pressure is going to be even

    Higher so the the pressure is going to be even higher for me to do the same thing again and um yeah that’s the challenge of it thank you so much and congratulation thank you well it’s always really insightful listening to say kakara as she talks about there about coming off the season

    It set the standard for her and that is what she needed to replicate going forward and that’s going to be particularly true when we go not only into the next round round number two which is here in R but when we move on in a night time to Brisbane in Australia

    Another new venue but it’ll be a TR she’s familiar with Rich yeah definitely familiar riding at the slan complex in Brisbane in Australia but uh I think what sayas kakibara has now is confidence it’s oozing out of her she knows she can do it I think the belief

    Is there and once it once it uncorks from the bottle as s to speak and the genie is out I don’t think it’s going to be very very very uh long before it stays out and never go back in again well I think these two know exactly what

    It takes to win and repeat that win time and time again it’s definitely working so let’s see if they can repeat it remember we will be back with round number two we still have our flow ceremony here for our top three riders in rot to and our fastest lap times as

    Well in fact here come our fastest lap time so a 36.6 for1 for Roman mayo and behind you can let’s see the rest of the rers quick lap times here today will be replicated in round number two you will need to join Rich she and myself M pay

    For the coverage we will be bringing you the women’s flow ceremony very shortly indeed with our top three Riders but do remember to make sure you tune in all the way through so the Olympic champion it is B Sher in third place she takes away that spot she is alongside Laura

    Schmers schmers on the right hand side or left hand side of the podium not to be a World Cup win for her but say kakar of Australia since dead said she is the rider who takes away Victory here in round number one of the BMX racing World

    Cup and it is sh SM sakakibara your 321 here at the be makes racing World Cup Rich great action in today’s racing it’s been absolute epic of a round to kick off the season there’s going to be more to come so we will be back with you very
