riders ready Watch the game So hello and welcome to the UCI BMX Racing World Cup round number one of six from Sion in the southeast of France France one of six rounds The second round coming from Son Third and fourth from Papal And the fourth round coming from Santiago del Astero We are in a fantastic place in the world by we It’s myself Matt Payne and Rich Emmes in here putting words to the action and lucky enough to see this fantastic area because this of course the home of the World Cup in 2023 from the papal palace or when uh the papacy was in aon for the centuries right the way through from the pont across the bridge avenue just down the road 25 km uh uh to the south west of uh uh the uh place where we’re going to be bring you the BMX Samon BMX track full of history The Samon BMX track as well Rich it’s scorching out there today 35° at peak That’s going to come later We’re looking forward to some fantastic race action Yeah definitely looking forward to some hot race action here in the hot conditions at Sions 32° 5 km an hour wind perfectly sunny It’s almost perfect conditions for BMX racing Our track officials and volunteers keeping the track here at Sarion’s perfectly prepped and we’re ready for some red hot race action And before we’ve seen some wind affect the course and we’ve seen delays previously the mistral that blows up 140k an hour Not with us today And here we are in the first jump So it’s a 10 m long jump They brought it specially for the Olympic games So they made the same jump on Paris Olympics uh which a lot of people came to train here So yeah that’s a big jump 10 m long and uh it’s the start of the track Yeah it’s a very small first straightaway Uh it’s not very long compared to most of the track It’s going to be a a game of being precise on the first jump and then uh I think the inside also here going to be a big advantage So it will be a good thing to keep uh keep the inside gates today So the second straight you’re going to have to be very precise You’re going to have a lot of speed out of the first turn since the straight is on the on the right side now And here we are at the cross section here with a 3.2 m double 10 m long So yeah that’s one of the biggest jump of the track going to be very important to minimize the mistake and hit your speed here on the second straight It’s going to be a very technical straight and I think we’re gonna see a lot of passes here Okay So after the the turn two you have the third straight It’s a it’s a normal track after that You have to keep your momentum If you do a little mistake you lose a lot of speed and and somebody can pass you So it’s going to be Yeah you’re going to have to minimize all the mistake keep your speed and keep your momentum going into the last turn The last straight it’s a long last straight so you have to to stay focused uh keep a little bit of energy you know to finish this straight uh fast and yeah usually it’s it’s a good uh it’s a good last straight We saw a lot of passes last year and uh and it was yeah good moment for me with all the French fans So hopefully every year will be the same Well great to hear from your sto there about the track and a bit more insight into what our riders are taking on here A fantastic venue We’ve got some amazing racing already taking place in our qualifiers on a finals and into our quarterfinals We’ll be bringing you the action from the semifinals and from our finals very shortly indeed All chasing the overall title of World Cup winner for 2025 So Rich a fantastic venue It’s all set We saw some great racing in the qualifying in the eighths and the quarters And we’ve seen some of our riders who were good in 22 24 excel again And we’ve seen some of our riders really go almost from hero to zero in some cases Yeah it’s been a tough one for a couple of riders particularly Roma Mayu going out you know in the quarterfinals which is not what he expected As we look at the standings there for 2024 Isaac Kennedy Cedric Booty with the top two Isaac just taking that World Cup overall at the last round in Tulsa Neat Kimman courtesy of those two wins in Tulsa working his way into the top three And last and not maybe going on as as good a form as we maybe have seen when we go with it in terms of the women’s elite Well S Kakibar is pretty much business as usual At least Willoughby not with us and Bethany Shrever Uh we didn’t see her make her way through She didn’t look to be on that same kind of blistering form that we’ve seen being right up there at the top Manra well she’s still looking just as sharp maybe sharper than ever Yeah man You know winning that silver medal at the Olympic Games She’s certainly on form at the moment She has that consistency Beth’s been unlucky today but I’m sure she’ll be back for round number two As we take a look at the under 23 standings for 2024 Oliver Moran being the World Cup overall champion Benny Greenoff in there in second Jesse Asmus who won his first World Cup in Brisbane Uh he rounded out the top three and Joshua Jolly and Jesse Asmus here in the eighth and the quarterfinals look both looking very very strong looking good Be interesting to see if they can continue that that drive forwards in terms of the women’s under 23 riders Uh more mix of more changing about but also in some ways business as usual but Ta Rufus Isabel May Veronica Strisa Strisa really looking on form and Hut absolutely flying looking good Gomes crashing out of the the racing in the quarterfinals Yes she did She did And Tay Rufus has moved up now to the elite class So she’s out of that under 23 mix So it’ll be interesting to see how she gets on through the season So they’re trying to being groomed once again We’ve seen it being watered on the way down It is really really hot and dusty We can’t overemphasize almost how hot it is 32 to 35° in the shade But the key sections here are some of these big big features on track Hi I’m Remy Mayu I’m the Olympic bronze medalist in Paris 2024 When I’m about to go on the gate it’s very simple Well I try to keep everything super simple cuz it’s I think it’s a time where you have to be super relaxed And the more you think the more you think the less it’s going to help you My aim out of the gate it’s to be um at least as close to everyone next to me cuz you don’t want to be elbow behind Be just a little bit in front I know it’s going to give me a massive massive advantage down the hill Oh 2024 was everything all the emotion that you can imagine that um I went through having the games in Paris Um so there was I knew it was something special as an athlete to compete in the Olympics game but to do it in your home country it’s next level And being there and getting the like making history with my two uh friend Jo and Sil was crazy I can go to another Olympics I can win another medal Doesn’t matter which one Even if I win gold I know I’m not going to feel the same way as the way I felt after the final in Paris Every World Cup for the past two years I showed up because I had to win I wanted to win every races because I had to qualify This time I’m showing up to World Cup and it doesn’t matter if I win or if I if I don’t get any any good result because it’s not going to take me to the next Olympics So it’s a very different approach that I have I’m also here because of it’s my clubs I know it’s my track It’s where since 2020 I’ve been training here So for Tokyo and then for Paris they’ve been supporting me so much So they’ve been part of my journey and why I’m here today with a medal and the title that I have So I feel like it’s a way of saying thank you So great to hear from Roman Mayu And he said uh he’s approaching it differently S Kachara I’m a professional belly dancer I’m kidding Hi I’m S Kachibara I’m a Olympic gold medalist at Paris 2024 and also the 2024 World Cup champion moments before the gate starts I for me personally I’m not thinking about anything technical like I’m not thinking about pedaling hard or not thinking about any part of the race I’m thinking just about those simple cues that can actually vary from race to race If I can react as soon as I hear that first beep that’s when I know it’s a good start What’s changed after winning gold It’s right now about how I approach racing how that’s changed because you know it’s my this is my first one So I’ll have to tell you in uh in a week’s time But I guess the biggest change is just being back at home and having so many more people seen BMX before seen BMX and have watched my race they’ve learned about my story and have tooken taken inspiration from it or the way I feel though It’s really hasn’t changed that much You know I’m obviously having that big win is nice It feels really good but you know there’s still another race coming up and I still need to win and I still need to go fast So I think Sarans is definitely my second home I spend a lot of time here and I spend well I live 30 minutes away from here during the season with my boyfriend Rom and this is our training ground that we come here week to week France has a special place in my heart as well so you know it’s everything is super special it’s the first one of the season as well and yeah I don’t know I’m I’m I’m really excited about it a good start to the season will be a win as simple as that I’ I want to win I know I can and that’s So brilliant to hear from say and from Roman Mayo there So say Kakibara rider on form and absolutely flying Roman May who well he said he was approaching it differently I don’t think he wanted it to go the way it did Yeah I don’t think any of BMXer approaches anything any differently than wanting to win But h yeah we’ll see what he’s got in round number two Well let’s take a little bit of a look back at our quarterfinals and the action that took place in there A really interesting set of quarterfinals with with a number of riders going out in there Now as you’d expect it’s a big race field Up into the stock now your woman elite So from the start this was really interesting We saw S Kakibara kicking out here very early on I mean in terms of of the way to assert your dominance and say “I’m back I’m back where I started off.” Sans Kakibara uh all that confidence you got from taking titles from being so dominant last year clearly showing him and the gap opened right up Yeah he owned right up There was a nice solid lap there from Meen Kelstro the Danish rider in that second position and Sienna Pal was in there in four Merryill Smolders in that third spot So yeah just uh a nice ride around the track Not too stressful in that particular situation Just setting herself up Sia for the next round So Sakara of business as usual maybe a little bit less dominant than maybe we’ve seen in those later stages on the way through but um what is it going to take to beat her I I think it’s going to take a lot But some of our riders really have looked up with Taylor Roofers joining the elite ranks but when we came to Simpson she really did show she’s she’s back and back in style Yeah she did She did So uh Molly Simpson in that quarterfinal you know she had a really good run at the Olympics you know she pulled the start of her life out in that final which uh took Bethany Shrivever away from winning that gold medal and uh you know she’s carried on that form here into the quarterfinals at Sarion in round one of the 2025 World Cup Zoe Clayson’s the other Olympic medalist She’s was right there in that second position behind a Leah Pindon keeping the home fans happy here at Sarion in France They uh fans always get loud when there’s a French rider inside the top three She wasn’t out front on this particular occasion Molly Simpson was getting it done but Leo Bending definitely keeping people smiling and getting through to the semifinals and the finals really going to be all about That’s what it’s all about in the in those quarterfinals and in the eighth finals You just got to get through You got to do enough if you want to get that lane gate Now as we see our next set of riders away not all the rounds were quite so clearcut were they as we come through Silylvan Andre he managed to go clear but behind a real battle Yeah there was a battle going on behind there and you can see the riders getting into it into the turns but Silan Andre was out in front Isaac Kennedy the reigning World Cup champion right there behind him in two with the European champion Arthur Peard rounding out the top three But Andre you know he is uh very wellliked and well respected and the fact that he’s fast is just the absolute icing on the cake And maybe because he’s French also very handy for the French crowd that are cheering on on the stand Some some fantastic support there And you can see Drew there very happy to have got it some way in and through into our semifinals Great riding by Son coming back and looking absolutely on form Yurus Dod Well we saw him on his track preview A rider who the rainbow stripes really do seem to suit Yeah he does He does He’s um you know he’s the pros pro He knows exactly what to do when he’s in a situation where he needs to kind of work his way through Exactly as he did here the world champion He took his time He didn’t panic He made that experience count And as he said in his track preview it’s all about keeping your momentum It’s all about minimizing the mistakes and that’s exactly what Yoris do in this particular situation and he did enough to get through and that’s all you need to do It’s just about being in the top four All right he’s not going to get the best gate pick next time around but Yoris has got the experience to overcome that and making sure he won’t clear in that photo finish with Abala for third and fourth place Shman the rider who just missed out there and Dodo clearly using that experience that that’s that ability to go from pretty much anywhere to take that line Uh not the only rider to make his way through but fantastic to see the riders make the way in and through Uh we will be seeing those riders as we go on in to our next section which is going to be our semifinals So next up here at Sion in France for the UCI BMX Racing World Cup round number one on men’s under 23 semi-finals heat number one Nordam Gusen’s Jolly Far and Co all lined up already down at that gate waiting to hit the track to see if they can book their slot and move their way through from our quarterfinals in through the semi-finals and into our finals First semi-final for the men under 23s Girl you’ve got the two Dutch riders on the inside Nordam and Gusen but you’re going to have to keep your eye on Joshua Jolly of Australia and he’s diving underneath and trying to steal that whole shot away from Nordm So it is Nordm Jolly going one and two Clemon Rusher is getting involved as well And Cusen is in there in four and he’s trying to dive underneath in that second turn Jac Matty Jac in that second spot The former European champion Where is Joshua Jolly I think he’s just about in there in four at the moment It’s going to be enough to make it through to the main Nordam’s going to get it Nordam Jacen’s Jolly All going through Great lap from Jason Nordam Joshua Jolly just did what he had to to make the final So with five French riders in that uh heat there and we had saw four not make it in and through Uh very interesting to see that it was Matthew Shaki who made it through from them but Joshua Jolly just absolutely glass on wheels Nordam looking good though and showing that he’s not afraid to take it on from the front No definitely not I think Joshua Jolly just went low in that first turn It might have just cost him that tiny little bit of momentum but certainly he did enough to go through inside the top four So uh in the finals in he’s only got to win one lap and that’s the last one So Nord Jacus and Jolly the qualified riders you can see the monitor with that queue at the side They will make their way through from the semi-finals to the finals Which four riders will be joining them Well we’re going to have to find out are men’s under 23 second of the semi-finals They’re just up at the top of the hill waiting to be called down to the gate Jesse Asmus has been going very very strongly But Alexis Picadowski he has shown some serious form in the eighth and in the quarterfinals Yeah he’s been on good form through the quarterfinal stage the European champion He’s going to have Jesse Yasmus right there next to him on the inside the Australian Jesse won a World Cup in Brisbane in 2024 So he’s no stranger to the pressure at this particular level And then you’ve got to keep your eyes on the likes of Zean Lame Albert Grappo and Remo Hoffer as well So very very evenly matched this second semi-final here in the men under 23 Can’t wait to see what goes down The riders are going to get themselves into the gates get themselves prepared and then it’s go time of Australia And that is Alexis Picinowski the European champion He’s there in gate number two in that very familiar European Champions jersey Jesse Azmus on the inside Zeon Lame on the 555 in gate number three Things are about to get hectic There is your start list on the order of France Albert Grappo Remo Hoffer Marco Bosan Seal Nless Zean Alexis Picinowski and Jesse Azmus Second semi-final for men under 23 heading down the hill Picowski and Aszmas on the inside Zm working his way in there as well Hoffers trying to dive underneath He’s in there in that fourth spot but it is the European champion Lexis Pinowski who’s going to lead into turn number two Has there been any changes Lame still in there Looks like Hoff is under a little bit of pressure from Num list I think it is as they come towards the final corner Pinowski still leading it out It’s going to go Pinowski Jesse Asmus Zan Lame That’ll be a one two three I think Hoffer’s going to hang on for that fourth spot None list it was who took it Hoffer ended up in five P Canowski though that was a great lap from him leading from start to finish It’s as good as it gets I tell you something Carry so much speed over there You can see him almost just flattening it off over the jump Just keeping the speed keeping the momentum there There was no starting up and taking loads of vertical He just wanted to get over that lane Beautiful to watch Yeah Kept it nice and low Kept the momentum Minimized the mistakes Unlike that rider in the middle of the pack right there Jesse Aszmus just uh comfortable in that second spot following Pinowski and Zean Lame was the man under a little bit of pressure because he had Nunless behind him and Hoffer as well He held on to the line It went Pinowski Asmus Lame Seal Nunless taking that final qualifying spot in the main event So Jason Nord taking the fastest time in the previous semi-final of 31.269 seconds Lexis Picowski taking top spot there with 31.643 A similar time actually to second place check in the previous semi-final We’re going through from the second of our men’s under 23 semifinals It is Picassi with Asmus Lemon and Noneless Let’s move across from the men’s under 23 We got across to the women who already up at the top of the hill as our officials keep checking in the riders to climb their way up to the top of the 8 m startgate here in Sing on the BMX track that has been such an instrumental part of the French strength and depth when it comes to elite riding Yeah it’s one of their main training facilities for all the major events As we look at the start list we’ve got Derry Merin Laura Muj Kylie Shay Alina Beck Dominica Caduro Lily Greenoff in there as well and Michelle Vissings in the mix and she won this event here in 2023 So riders just lining themselves up at the top of the hill You can almost hear the nerves jangling Michelle Vissing just uh hands on the hands on the thighs just head down just getting focused and concentrated Uh Laura Muj on the 516 plate French rider and uh there on the 548 that is Darren Mertton out of the US of A Alina Beck on the outside out of Germany always recognizable in that colorful race kit that she wears and Marie Favrell on the 514 also out of France She’s going to be there in gate number three right next to Lily Green off It’s going to be an interesting battle down to that first turn The women under 23 semi-finals begin Lily Green off She’s had some great laps earlier on in the competition And she looks like she’s going to pick up a whole shot with Michelle Vissing right there next to Marie Favll getting involved as well Darren Mertton getting pushed wide as they come out of turn number one But it looks like Greenoff out in front Got a feeling that’s Fell and missing One ride has gone down at the end of that second straight Didn’t quite catch who it was A lot of Muj in there in that four spot So it’s green off for vissing one two and three in and out of that final turn Muja she looks like she’s done enough to hang on for that four spot but it’s going to be the New Zealand rider Lily Green off taking the win She’s going to go through in that first position Fabrell in second Vissing in third Muj in fourth Solid lap for the rider from New Zealand And Michelle Vissing inside the top three And the rider going down there Mara not making it around that just hitting the deck We’ll bring news of her hopefully get being back up by her feet as soon as we can Michelle Ving looking very very strong initially but Lily Green off up and in to the front there Interesting riders that came in through from Fabrell and Muja there Mojay with the rider under pressure most of the way round Yeah she definitely was It’s never good being in fourth place in a semi-final because you’ve got the person in five In that case Darren Merton chasing you down but Laura Muj did enough to hold it on And there are your official results Lily Greenoff Marie Favll Misha Vising and Laura Muj all making the way through to the women under 23 final which will be with us in just a few minutes time So that’s the first of the women’s under 23 semifinals The second of our semi-finals about to be lined up from our nearest our camera Emily Hut then Sabina Kakova Alexis Alden Rinska Van Sanfort Dominica Manikova Rita Federa along with Ietto Ford and Veronica Strisa Well Sterisa in that world champs jersey right on the outside there with work to do but it never seems to bother her She’s just let me race Yeah absolutely Sometimes it can be the best place to be out of trouble If you’ve got the confidence to go from gate eight and you can make it pay why not But she’s got Emily Hut to deal with Sabina Kosakova Iet Devour Alexis Alden Uh previous podium may come here uh Renco Van Sanfort to Dominica Manikova and Rita Feda of the USA As we look at Emily Huts the national champion of Great Britain on that 501 plate She’s got prime position She’s on the inside and she’s going to try and make it pay 539 That is Alexis Alden out of the USA Second semiinal for the women under 23 Looks like Renava Van Sam’s got a great start She hit the podium here in 2023 and she’s already started a semi-final well and leads it out Emily Hut in there in two Veronica Stisa in that third position just trying to pick up the rider in four I’ve got a feeling it’s D’Vor out of the Netherlands It is Manny Cover’s in there in five Saw the front four starting to get out and clear and it’s Emily Hut the national champion of Great Britain who’s going to lead him into that final corner Hut Van Sanfort they’re going to go one and two Strisca in there in three Emily Hut’s going to take that win Iette Devour is going to take that final qualifying spot Alexis Alden is the unlucky rider in five But Emily Hut doing exactly what she needed to do in the semifinals And really interesting to see those front four who were clear very early on in that race and it was all about then making sure that they get the fastest time trying to get that position to get over the line and and be able to pick your spot on the grid the gates for the start of those finals The time of Emily Hut 34.937 The time of Lily Green off 35.928 So separated by 100th of a second Very similar winning times in both of those semifinals It’s going to make it really close when we come to the finals Yeah we saw Emily Hook take a different line to Gavan Sanfort as they came out of turn number one and that gave them the momentum to work away past down that second straight take that win Sam in two and Strisa in three So that is our women’s under 23 semifinals done and dusted Next up will be our elite riders We’re going to see the men’s and the women’s elite That is going to be very shortly indeed Let’s bring you first of all the results from the women under 23 Second of those semi-finals with Emily Hut taking the race win from Van Sambos Then Stisa and Dvod the riders qualifying immediately behind as our attention turns from that younger esport age category across to the elite So the riders at the moment just getting themselves in and ready You can see that the uh uh teams and the riders all aware that they need to make sure they get their timing right to get to the top of the hill reach That’s really really important isn’t it Yeah it definitely is These riders are experienced enough to know exactly when they need to be at the top of the hill Just keep those nerves to an absolute minimum and be in position for the semi-finals As we look at Arthur Peard there the European champion um raced the French Cup on this track not just one week ago fully experienced knows what he’s doing So at the moment the sun beating down the temperature has moved up a notch or two The Mercury climbing and heading towards the 35 now near 36 degrees of breeze is starting to get up as well So that breeze that’s going to max out with gusts at about 27 kilometers an hour going to be heading in there So the riders are ready The elites are at the top of the hill We’re very shortly going to be heading across into those elite semifinals So welcome to Sarion to the sunshine to the men’s elite semifinals here around one of the UCI BMX racing world cup S on in France and this is going to be an absolute banger Cameron Wood was looking great I thought when he was racing earlier on Your Dodo we’ve seen get himself through but Silven Andre is anybody going to be able to touch him Well it’s going to be a barntormer of a semi-final I mean you’ve got Silven Andre in the Arthur Peard Joris Sto Jeremy Renerrell That’s just the French riders And there is Son Andre of France on the inside gate number one He’s got Cameron Wood to deal with in gate number three The first of the League Ben semi-finals is go heading down the hill and Arthur Pard of France the European champion he’s going to lead it into the turn And look who’s right there behind him with all that experience It is Yuris Dod the world and Olympic champion Cameron Wood the USA BMX Pro Series number one rider He’s in there in three Silan Andre is in four There’s a big gap to the rider in five So it’s looking like these four are going to go through nice and clear heading down towards the line Pad’s going to take the win Pad Dod Cameron Wood Silan Andre that’s you on 2 three four Carmona Garcia in five Was there any real doubt about it Pard putting an exclamation point on that semiinal He rode so well A little look back down at the bike there Not sure he’s 100% happy there just at the back tire Really interesting Cameron Wood came through held third place there but may well be the mechanics going to have to take a real quick look at that Meanwhile Arthur Pe was there just riding his way through He came from second gate there to come through into the lead I mean a fantastic ride by him It was that start was so quick Yeah his start was absolutely superb Carmona Garcia was in the middle looking for a way through but Yuris Dh had brought all his experience to the party and he’d worked his way into that second spot Cameron Wood of the USA in there in three and I could see tires starting to skip a little bit in the corner Just a bit of a wobble there from Silan Andre Wasn’t enough to knock him off his stride though and he went through in that fourth spot He’s in the main event Three French riders already in How many more are we going to get in semi-final number two A maximum of one How’s that That’ll do Yeah Go on then So we’ll get to our second semi-final very shortly We just bring you the confirmed result Arthur Pillard Yoris Dodo Cameron Wood and Sil Andre going through Come on Garcia Renarel Schmidt and Garcia Marcos not making it through into our finals Who’s going to be joining them Well it’s going to be very interesting Lawrence Saber has really got to push on here because he’s up against Isaac Kennedy They’ll be looking to take away top spots Matis Rango Rishard had a it almost seemed he kind of just scraped through in some ways It’s it felt you know it’s not look that you get through but sometimes he just he just seemed to get the brakes It all rolled right for him and he made his way in But he’s in that danger zone zone surely with like Hal and Paul Cowboy booty and Moran that they’ve not qualified quite as well They’ve not had maybe such a straightforward run through Yeah it’s very evenly spread this second semi-final I think Isaac Kennedy is the standout in this one But you know anything can happen As we look at the uh semi-final start list we’ve got Oliver Moran last year’s under23 World Cup champion Cedric Booty in there as well And like you say you can’t rule out Drew Pulk or Matis Rago Rishard second semi-final for the many elite heading down the hill Mattis Rago Reish right there in the middle of the pack as they head towards turn number one Looks like Isaac Kennedy has picked up the whole shot So he’s in there Cedric beauty or one rider exits at the wrong side of the track So Kennedy Rishard are your one and two Where is Drew Pulk He’s in there in five but we know Drew Pulk has got skills when it comes to making moves in a turn Is he going to be able to make it pay here Kennedy still leading it through Kennedy Reard Booty I think in there as well Looks like Drew Pulk is going to go out in that dreaded fifth spot Kennedy at the line Kennedy Rago Reard Cedric Booty Loris Abra Drew Pulk will be bitterly disappointed to come in in fifth And he was in fourth place there Rich wasn’t he He had that fourth then dropped to five and he just got the move made on him coming in through and Abraham had to work for that Yeah I was waiting for a typical Droop move in one of the turns One of those ones that he’s famous for but he couldn’t quite make it stick just as we look at the riders lining up Isaac Kennedy if you were to kind of you know work it out on paper He was going to be the winner of that semi-final But Pulp was right there in the middle Mattis Rago Richard got an absolute flyer He’s there in second He’s made this World Cup main Superb riding from the Frenchman Yeah fantastic to see And the time there the winning time of Isaac Kennedy 31.752 compares to a 31.293 for Arthur Pillard in the very first of our semifinals So Pillard do Wood and Andre just waiting for confirmation but I think it’s going to be Kennedy Rego Rashard Booty and Abard And it’s confirmed on our screens the eight riders now going forward into our men’s elite finals They’ll be coming up very shortly indeed Don’t forget you can keep up with all of the race results on the UCI’s website That’s www.uci.org and of course keep up on social media with all of our riders We move across from the men’s to the women’s competition Yeah it’s the women elite lining up Loris Moulders Mon Vinstra Zoe Clayson’s there’s three Olympic medalists right there Valentina Munos uh Vanagasa Sienna Pal Leah Bindon Laya Walker and Nadart She’s just watched her brother make the elite men main Now can Nad make the elite women main Oh we’ll find out very shortly Indeed Loris Mo is looking on fire earlier on Can she make this hers Back at the top It drops on the first of the women elite semifinals Who’s going to lead it into that first turn We are looking at I think it’s Zoe Clayton’s picking up the whole shot Laura Smolders in there as well And a Ny Neighborhard She’s following her brother She’s in there in fourth right now and in a position to make that main event working her way through on the inside into three But Zoe Clayson’s out in front We’ve got two Swiss riders inside the top four Laura Smolders bringing those multiple World Cup wins and the experience to be in that second spot Ny Neighborhard still in three Who’s got that fourth position as they come to the line It’s going to be Clayson’s taking it from Smolders They go one and two Leila Walker got the three Ny Neighborhard joining her brother in the elite finals here at Sarion’s Man on Vinstra Very surprised to see her out in that fifth position a man and Vistra to to go out there That is not what we were expecting at all Uh where did it all go wrong here for Manra Because she was you would have thought she would have been right in this battle Yeah I think there was a little bit of a squeeze as they went down the hill She wasn’t in like the position she needed to be as they went in and out of that first turn She wasn’t that far away to be fair and then Ny Neighborhard nipped up the inside She went from four She worked her way into three Man on being sure the doors was open slightly that allowed Ila Walker through and Laya Walker was behind Nadine Neighborhard at this point Meanwhile uh Clayson’s and Smolders were out front Naden was right there in three Leila Walker picked her off down the final straight but it didn’t matter You only need to be in the top four and they were both in there So Zoe Clay confirmed as our winner of the first of our women’s elite semifinals there Her time of 34.653 have fast time on the way through the second of our semifinals Well that is going to be Simpson Sakibara Kel Smolders Hayakiama Etien Ryder and Berford up on the top of the hill already And there is Sakiara that we heard from And I think she is going to be really interesting to see She’s she’s so much confidence so much movement really is motoring I mean absolutely fantastic Yeah you certainly don’t go into a World Cup season from winning the Olympics and the World Cup series the year before without that level of confidence And the great thing for Syri’s here on almost her home track she’s got Molly Simpson of Canada to deal with but uh yeah say a Kakibara she’s in the best position in her career than she’s been in But nothing’s certain in World Cup racing Molly Simpson of Canada she knows how to pop off a great start so it could get very interesting very quickly And there is Seas Kakibara in gate number two It drops on the second of the semifinals and as we predicted it looks like Sakibar and Molly Simpson who are going to go one and two into the turn Rider out of the USA in there That is Payton Ryder She’s there in that third spot mailing Kelstro in four but coming under pressure now as they go into the second turn Oh it looks like Talia Berford’s blown a pedal So that’s going to be her semi-final over with Kelstrop in there in that fourth spot Pressure coming though because she’s got Axel Etienne behind her in fifth and Axel the whole crowd’s favorite He’s trying to chase her down that final straight Meanwhile Sio Kakibara is going to take the semifinal win Molly Simpson for two Pton Ridenor’s made it in Mailing Kelrop as well Axelienne unlucky in five but Sasakiara continuing the fine form from the 2024 season into 2025 And a photo finish going to be applied to that third and fourth place but it won’t affect those riders going through and those that aren’t because that was a pretty plain result as they came in through So it’s Kakar again rounding it out in style No real surprises there Uh but from the gun here we knew it was going to get really close But it didn’t seem to take shape until we got into turn one but then everyone was waiting and waiting and it just didn’t seem anyone could actually make the move Yeah it got pretty bunched up down that second straight Meanwhile you know it strung out a little bit more as they came down the third Pton Ry was right in the position she needed to be in Axelienne just chasing her down not being able to get close enough Mail and Kelro will be delighted to make that World Cup main She’s had an under 23 World Championships before So yeah all good on that front for me Kelstro So the women’s elite semifinal heat number two that result confirmed Z Kakibara coming through 34.050 That is over.6 six of a second quicker uh than the time that was the race win for Zoe Clay and showing just how much speedara has in fact Molly Simpson’s time almost exactly the same there going in through So really interesting Uh very very quick It does promise for a very fast very fast final indeed and very close indeed potentially behind Sasakibar It goes to the form book and the timings But of course this is BMX and we know anything can happen because it is well let’s let’s just say anyone who thinks it’s a non-cont sport hasn’t been down on a BMX track Yeah absolutely There’s definitely contact in there at more than a few occasions As we look at Zoe Clayson’s Olympic medalist just keeping those legs turning keeping the lactic acid to a minimum You know there’ll be a cold towel around her neck She’ll have the music on She’ll just be getting herself into the zone Quick bang on the legs just to try and shift a bit more of that lactic You know I think it’s more of a psychological thing than a physical thing when they tap themselves on the legs But certainly Zoe in a position to uh you know be inside the top three in this uh women elite final if not win it as our fans here just enjoy the sunshine enjoy the racing Resco van Samfort next to a compatriate Michelle Vissing Those two riders on the podium here last time around when we were at Sarons for a world cup event in 2023 Michelle Vissing came top of the pile that particular day She’ll be looking to repeat and do that again Certainly got the focus in her eyes getting ready to do what needs to be done Deep breath sucking in the oxygen there Just trying to make sure you keep that focus Really interesting to see the riders in the background there Just these shots behind the scenes always give you that little insight that maybe you you don’t even get even when you’re down actually at the venue and you’re you know track sign because the riders they go by they they’re in their own area They are just trying to keep out of the way keep cool a lot of the time as well because it is scorchingly warm out there Yeah it definitely is You know 30 plus degrees heat management is an absolute must in these situations And you can see Michelle missing there She’s probably just rehearsing the track in her mind working out what she’s going to do which gate she’s going to pick uh and how she’s going to approach that first straight There’s a lot going on before the gate even drops So that’s our semi-finals done with It’s about time we headed across to the finals here at Sion for the UCI BMX Racing World Cup round number one So time to head down The spectators there making sure they’re rehydrated and the shade is going to be a premium spot up there as is gate one on this track at Serion which is generally proved to be a pretty quick gate Not everybody needing to take that though to make their way in through to our finals here for round one of the BMX Racing World Cup Remember it’s not very long to round number two So these riders going to have all of this in their legs when we move on to round two tomorrow First up in terms of finals is the men’s under 23 The start list there in front of you And Rich here uh can anybody beat the flying Alexis Pigowski He’s absolutely on Sorry Yeah it’s all right It’s going to be an absolute banger of a final because Jason Nordam has selected gate number one So he’s going to be right there on the inside Alexis Picinowski I’m assuming will be next to him in two And don’t forget you’ve got the former European champion Mattis Jac in there Tim Gusen’s Jesse Azmus who’s won a World Cup before now Joshua Jolly who’s winning USA Pro Series races You know you’ve got the up andcoming talents of Zean Lame in there and Seal None list There’s a proper mix in this under 23 final and I cannot wait to see how it all unfolds It’s almost a case of you pick the riders number boards up you throw them in the air and you see what order they come down It could end up being that random in some ways But for me I I think you’ve got to have that regular performance and maybe some of our riders I mean you look at Jesse Asmus and Joshua Jolly maybe looking into that sort of longer longer game maybe you know are they going to balance any risk versus reward here or is it just flat out because you’ve got a season long you’ve got the World Championships coming you know with four World Cups in nine days then we go straight pretty much into those World Championships in Copenhagen which is going to be in the first weekend in August I mean it’s pretty quick Yeah it’s pretty quick But I don’t think there’s going to be anybody thinking about that when they’re lined up on this gate here You know eight riders there’s World Cup win at stake there’s points at stake They want it They all want it All eight of them It’s just going to be an absolute barn burner Well let’s see if anybody’s roof stays on or if it’s completely blown off Well we will see in the firestorm as they make their way down here All fire intended puns totally done safely with the fire extinguisher to one side But hopefully nothing is going to put out these riders I suspect the biggest thing here is going to be about getting that start and then holding position being brave being bold and not buckling under pressure No more worries about whether you’re in third fourth or fifth place This is all about taking away top spot getting on that podium getting first second third being right up there as you say scoring those points and getting your name in the history books Will Australia be able to push the way up in here Who’s going to be able to take away the win It’s time to find out the first of our finals here today Rich take us through some of these riders and take us down off from our start line very shortly of the first main event of the 25 UCI BMX Racing World Cup season The men under 23 into the turn Who’s going to get the whole shot It’s going to be Nordam Nordam and Pinowski going one and two That is Joshua Jolly in there in three Jesse Asmus in four Tim Gusen’s in there in five I’ve got a feeling it’s Jac in there in six But Nordam he had that gate one on the inside He’s made it pay Into the final corner we go Looks like the Netherlands are going to pick up the first win of the 2025 season Jason Nordam takes the win in Men under 23 Panowski for two Jesse Asmus for three Tim Gusen’s rounding out the top four I’d be interested to know what happened to Josh Jolly I had all my focus on the riders at the front Matty Shak rounding out the top five I’m sure we’ll get a look back at that but you can see Nordam there high-fiving him Really enjoying that fist bumps all around I mean what a ride by him and he’s absolutely know that You see the exhaustion on him Let’s take a look at again Here they go out of the gate Yeah Jason Nordam We knew the inside line was going to be important going into this I honestly thought Pinowski was going to steal it away Nordam dived underneath Josh Jolly carved that corner like a Christmas turkey and he was Oh that was what happened the case the jump in the middle of the second straight Lost all his momentum and that is what cost him uh dearly in this final Meanwhile out in front Nordam was away with it Panowski was in there in that second position Jesse Aszmus looking good for the three and that was enough to take him across the line on the podium Tim Gusen’s in the four So Jason Nordam sets his stall out He’s got the first win the first World Cup win of 2025 in the men’s under 23 Jason Nordon taking the win 31.531 seconds Netherlands coming out on top there ahead of Francis Alexis Picowski Jesse Asmus of Australia in third place with Gusen in fourth Jackie in fifth Lame in sixth followed over the line by Nless and Johnny We can hear from our race winner He’s Dan Explain what was the key to this victory for you today Just keep it consistent and focus about yourself and not about others What have you been doing in the offseason Because you’ve been on the circuit a couple of years now and this is the first time you’ve won at this level I’ve focused more on my gym and techn technical gym So that’s the main point I focused on And just a word about racing conditions today because it’s really hot It’s been over 30° all day What has it been like working through all those rounds you’ve had to race today I just keep my head cool Just got a lot of water and yeah try to survive the heat Jason May congratulations Thank you Thank you Well really good to hear from him there It’s keeping cool keep your head calm and get through there No problems at all He’s got another day to go He’s got round number two and he’ll be wanting to do the same again but he should really enjoy this He’s pretty calm I think I’d be jumping for joy and doing cartwheels down the finishing straight of just taking the win in a World Cup Pretty pretty chilled Yeah interesting to hear that he you know he said he’d focused on his gym and his technical gym and that kind of stuff and it and he put that work in and it’s clearly paid off for him It certainly has Well great to see our riders there and great to hear the insight from the man stood in the middle here today your top three here today at round one of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup at Sarion in France taking away third place Jesse Azmus of Australia taking second place is Allesius Picadinowski of France taking away top spot though Jason Nordam of the Netherlands race winner and now also going to be series leader So men’s under 23 competition is done The old cloud just scooting its way across the sky giving a little bit of rest by although just increasing the humidity a little as well when it goes through but scorchingly hot up to 35 and a half degrees now So hitting the peak of temperature and the breeze not picking up quite as much Are women ready to go The women’s elite start list in front of you And is this realistically a battle for second third fourth places behind Saakibar Rich Um it’s certainly going to be a you know a big race Emily Hut there right on the inside I think we are actually going to go with the women under 23 Apologies No it’s perfectly all right Ravan Sanfort is in gate number eight That’s Emily Hut though on the inside Uh that’s Lily Green off right next to her I’ve got a feeling that’s Marie Favrell in there in gate number three Michelle Bissing right there in the middle of it gate number four She won here in 2023 She’s got experience of winning on this track in the World Cup and that will definitely give her just a slight psychological advantage as we look at Marie Favre Iette Devard there in gate number six Strisca interestingly moving out to the outside again gate seven and out in gate number eight on the 512 Rensco van Sanfort made the podium in 2023 on this track So those are your women under 23 finalists lining up on the gates as we await the starters command Will this be the day for Emily Hutz of Great Britain Will she take her first World Cup win It looks like Michelle Vissing is going to pick up the whole shot Is she going to make it two World Cup wins on this track One in 2023 and now possibly one in 2025 Looking smooth through that straight She’s got Marie Favll right there behind her That looks like Renavan Sanfort there in four Emily Huts worked her way up into three So a podium a real possibility for the Great Britain Rider But Michelle Vissing the national champion of the Netherlands She won in 2023 She’s going to win in 2025 Two World Cup wins on this track for Michelle Vissing Marie Favre in two Emily Hawk consistent and hitting the podium again Vans 144 but Vissing she’s got this track unlock Absolutely dialed nailed it there Just superb to see Great to see the congratulations from her fellow competitors as well for taking away that win Michelle Vissing her winning time 34.781 seconds Just waiting for that to be confirmed and the result confirmed And from the start there dead center on the way through but quickly like an arrowhead point of that arrowhead straight to the front and right at the sharp end Yeah And her second straight was absolutely superb She caught backside on those jumps She carried a momentum I think Emily Hook will go back to the team after this and be slightly kicking herself by not making the most of gate number one in that final Meanwhile Vissing just had no such problems Took that win Van Samfort was within a whisker of catching Emily Hut at the line Marie Favre picking up the second place And this time around Sterisa pushed right down those standings into sixth place here So work to do in the oncoming season So Michelle Vissing taking top spot from Maria Favarel Emily Hut in third place but nobody could stop Michelle Vissing from the Netherlands and we can hear from her now Michelle many congratulations Round one winner here in SAN You won here two years ago What is it about this course this track that suits you so much Yeah I like this track so much Um the second straight is really technique and yeah I like it You were out of gate one How important was it for you to Well that gate really how important was it for you to get to that first bend in in first position Um yeah lane eight lane one is always for me the best This time I had to do it from lane four I had a good gate and yeah now I’m staying here with the first World Cup this year A couple of years ago we only had one round here in Saran This year it’s two Do you think you can do the the double tomorrow I hope so Thank you very much Well done Thank you Well she hopes she’s going to take that double because of course last time we’re here in 2023 the wind blew and it almost blew everything away But we’re really interested to see whether she’s going to blow us away for round number two They’d be being readyed I’m sure to receive the flowers and the accolades of the crowd down at the interview area Uh but pretty cool car neglected and looking again to go forwards and at the the moment the Netherlands clearly at home here Yeah definitely looking good The Netherlands two from two in the first two finals Just wondering when it will continue Well that’ll be very interesting to see So you can see your top three here Emily Hutz getting the flowers for taking third place here at round number one of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup The flowers presented to Marie Favll of France in second And then we have Michelle Vissing taking away top spot center stage your winner of the finals and the winner here at round one of course serious leader moving on to round number two when she’ll have to do it all again on that selfsame track before we move up to Papendell I tell you something the other 23s are going to be looking for well the leaders are they’re going to be looking forward to going up on to that track we still got more action here at round number one because we have our men’s elite and our women’s elite races our final still to come rich uh anybody looking like your your prime choice here in an in let’s try that again in an elite men final with four French riders in you picking a prime choice is probably the hardest task in the world I mean you’ve got the experience of Yoris Dod you’ve got the raw speed of Arthur Pelard you’ve got the you know Mattis Araggo Rishard who’s made his way in as well there’s so many storylines in this elite men final I can’t wait to see how it unfolds and there is Pilars in gate number one the European champion Gate number two on the template the World Cup champion from last year Isaac Kennedy Gate three the Olympic and world champion Mr Six time Yorisde on the 61 Mattis Arago Arishard the cowboy the USA BMX Pro Series champion Cameron Wood Cedric Bouty finished second overall in the World Cup series last year Olympic silver medalist Silan Andre out there in gate number seven and making his first World Cup final Loris Abahard of Switzerland out in gate number eight The many leads are go for French riders in this one Who’s going to make it into the first turn first Peard with the whole shot Kennedy dives underneath Where is Jes He’s on the outside He’s back there in about fourth or fifth at the moment Looks like Silvenre is trying to work his way through Cameron Wood case that jump in the middle of the second straight and that’s cost him his momentum But Arthur Pelard into the final corner The Frenchman the European champion won the French Cup here as well just one week prior to this He’s going to take the first World Cup win of the year in Elite Men Isaac Kennedy for two Silan Andre for three Cameron Wood held on for that four Matis Rag reshard in five But Pard absolutely brilliant Cedric Booty sits on the floor in a turn alongside Yoris Day But Pard taking his form from the French Cup race into the World Cup as well Absolutely flying Pard basically unstable Isaac Kennedy chasing along with Andre Cameron Wood rago ran out the hard Dodi and Booty though down on the floor there down now making the way back around the bike not working there for Booty going to get carried off the track and you’re going to see the world champion Yoris come down he will get the full applause of the crowd as he makes his way down I’m sure but he’s going to make his way off that track ready for the uh champion to have a view was I’m sure with us that you can see already the congratulations come running into Rich take it through this pillow was absolutely flying he was absolutely flying he made the most of that inside gate straight into the turn when Yoris Dod was trying to thread the needle you know he looked inside he looked outside Kennedy was in there in two and then Booty went down and that’s what took Yoris Dod with him Yoris had nowhere to go just ran straight into Cedric Booty couldn’t didn’t do anything about it at all Cameron Woodard lost a bit of momentum at that point as well courtesy of a case in the middle of that second straight but Arthur Pelard his first World Cup win coming in France in front of the home fans He certainly brought the form You wouldn’t believe he did 12 full laps on this track just last weekend at a French Cup race It’s a heavyweight to come into a First World Cup but he’s definitely made it pay And there are your final results Arthur Pilard taking the win Isaac Kennedy in two Silan Andre rounding off the podium A solid fourth pot for Cameron Wood followed by Rago Rishard Abahard Dod and Booty So time to dive down and let’s hear from the winner of round one of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup for Mercy So they’re explaining that the uh a lot of this was down to the hard work that he put in previously to coming in here and a lot of hard work on the day and saying a big thank you to the crowd as well who were down at the side and it was great motivation uh for him whilst he was down there and racing Hopefully he’ll be inspiring some of our youngsters to jump on board there by get down to their local BMX track and get some laps in down there maybe jump on board with one of the local clubs down there Uh not just the Sound BMX Club but clubs all around the world bringing on the next generation of riders one day looking to take away the flowers on the World Cup Our top three riders down and ready to receive their flowers As you can see the top three down there with San Andre taking third place for France Isaac Kennedy taking second place for Australia and Arthur Pilar taking away top spot The race winner the winner of round one and now the series leader of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup for 2025 South Arthur Pil kicked off really well here Rich He’s got to continue onwards He’s got to keep on kicking Yeah he has got to keep on kicking in round two here at Sions in just 24 hours time That’s the way to do it So uh he’s bringing that form in the European champion He’s looking so good It’s going to be really interesting to see how he performs at round number two So the French wins one win in our finals in the elite men’s finals in the under 23 Two Netherlands winners Who will it be What nation will be on the top Sakiara the hot favorite for this But behind they will all want to dethrone the queen of the track here in Sion Can they do it It’s going to be a tough ask I know that much The World Cup and Olympic champion in gate one I’m sure if you were a betting man you would quite happily put some money on SAS Kakibara taking the win in this one But there are seven other riders trying to stop her And there is Science Kakibara in gate number one Molly Simpson of Canada trying to put some daylight between her and the opposition She’s in there in gate number two Gate number three Laura Molders multi-time Olympian for the Netherlands Zoe Clayson’s Olympic medalist in Paris on that two plate Kate number four the European champion Kate five out of New Zealand It’s Leila Walker Got a feeling that’s her first elite World Cup final as well Next to her that was Men Kelstro out of Denmark Payton Ragnor of the USA out there in gate number seven And in gate number eight on the 94 it’s Navy neighborhood The Elite Women are go The first Elite Women final of 2025 It’s a drag race down to the turn Zoe Clay taking the whole shot from the outside She’s in there in one look at Molly Simpson and Sia Sakibara flying in formation Sas worked her way up into that second spot Made a mistake though and lost some momentum That’s going to allow Zoe Clayson to get away that little bit Simpsons all over the back of Sakibara as they come to the final corner It looks like Zoe Cla of Switzerland is going to win the first women elite final of 2025 Clesence from Saki Barara Simpson in three Smolders in four Leila Walker in five and Zoe Cles the bronze medalist in the Olympics in Paris wins the first World Cup of the 2025 season Well the queen is dethroned and we see a new a rider who’s one of our old riders in lots of ways A very experienced rider but a very worthy winner Z has taken away top spot there from Zakibar in second Molly Simpson taking third They’re the three riders who will be on our podium Smallers Walker Abah Kim and Rar in the order rounding out the finalists here today Z license If you’re going to stick in a super super lap that was a superb time to do it It was very much a superb and uh she came from gate four exactly the same as uh some of our other riders have done today to take victories V gate four seems to be the lucky one But yeah she got the gate of a lifetime I was looking at the drag race between Sia Sakibara and Molly Simpson on the inside and meanwhile Zoe Cla comes around the outside steals it away and then that’s where Sia made a mistake just caught the back wheel and he just robbed her of her momentum and that allowed Simpson up on the back of her meanwhile Laura Smolders she was in there in that fourth spot Leila Walker is going to be absolutely delighted with the fifth in her first Elite Woman World Cup final But it was all about the European champion the Olympic bronze medalist Zoe Clayson’s taking the win Sia just dipping ahead She knows it could have been hers She’s going to have to settle for second And if you’re going to settle for something second in a World Cup finals not the kind of thing that you want to be worried about settling for No definitely not And some fantastic racing just to get into this But a great ride there by Molly Simpson She takes away third place for Canada there All smiles and just reward for what has been a really great day’s racing Really been consistent been right up at the front been showing us what she can do here The confirmed results are with us So place has taken the race win here in the women’s elite finals and round one of the UCI BMX racing world cup in 34.156 seconds An absolute flyer from her to come in ahead of Science Gakibara and Molly Simpson who will round out the podium but no stopping in Zoe Cles Let’s hear from her now Zoe man congratulations European champion Olympic medalist now winner of round one of the World Cup this year in Saran What does this victory mean for you It’s incredible because one week ago I didn’t even know if I’m going to race because I broke my collar bone like two months ago So yeah I didn’t expect that to win and I was so happy All the more impressive that you were not fully fit and also you started in gate four How did you come through to win today I just focus on myself do my every everything I do at the training and it went good So thank you very much Merci So really good to hear from her and all smiles as she was down there in interview and of course with those answers in English and in French as well Fantastic riding fantastic racing a really great race in that women’s elite race and it certainly has changed the makeup that we thought there bridge So we can see our top three riders down there about to receive their flowers First of those flowers going to Molly Simpson of Caner taking third place here today Second place from a clearly disappointing science kakibara But it is the flowers for the European champion for Z license of Switzerland The race winner the winner of round one of the UCI BMX Racing World Cup for 2025 Your top three Rich Three great races and it promises to be a great round two as well by the looks of it Oh yeah The best part of this is we get to do it all again in 24 hours time I absolutely cannot wait to see what unfolds Um I’m expecting more of the same Red hot weather red hot racing So much to get excited about so many storylines to dip into It’s going to be amazing It certainly is And Sion here playing host to round number one Playing host to round number two The weather forecast is it’s going to still stay hot hot hot all the way through So the riders will have to deal with sleeping in temperatures of 20 plus degrees if they’ve not got air con in the hotel room which I’m sure they have Uh it’s going to be a little bit windier as well tomorrow at the moment according to the forecast And that does mean it’s going to change things Let’s take a quick look at the fastest little lap down here And that time by Arthur Pillar 31105 Super quick today The riders at that time gives you real indication just how fast those riders were going Yeah definitely are And it’s interesting to see that Sai Kakibara has got the fastest lap even though she didn’t win the elite women main So certainly there’s more to come from Sire in terms of speed I think in round number two So a fantastic race here and a fantastic set of races to make up day number one of the UCI World Cup which is six days of racing six rounds of racing It’s been an absolute pleasure putting words to the action I hope it’s inspired you to jump on board your BMS Get out and go ride your bike Stay safe Enjoy your riding out
