Cycling Australia is pleased to announce a twelve member Australian Team which will contest the 2019 BMX Racing World Championships in Belgium in July.

The elite team is headlined by siblings Saya Sakakibara and Kai Sakakibara alongside Olympians Lauren Reynolds and Anthony Dean.

Wollongong’s Saya Sakakibara heads into the World Championships following a solid first half to her 2019 World Cup Season which boasts two finals appearances highlighted by fifth last week in round six in France.

Kai Sakakibara equalled his career-best World Cup result with a fourth-place finish in May’s third round, while Dean’s consistent season has seen him reach the finals in France and semi finals on two occasions.

Dual Olympian Lauren Reynolds continues her push for a third Games with a string of strong performances highlighted by fourth in round four in May.

Matt Krasevskis, Izaac Kennedy, Josh McLean will make their elite World Championship debut after strong performances during domestic and international events.

The Under 19 team includes Des’ree Barnes, Matt Tidswell, Jack Davis, Oliver Moran and Corey Taylor.

“The current international race scene is tougher than ever and the selected team have demonstrated they are the strongest individuals and able to qualify through the rounds against an international field,” Wade Bootes, Cycling Australia BMX Technical Director.

“Performances from Australian athletes during the first six World Cups this year have highlighted that while we have some challenges to overcome, we have also confirmed we are on a trajectory to meet our objective of a medal winning result at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.”

The 2019 BMX Racing World Championships finals for the elite and junior categories will be held at the BMX Club Circuit in Zolder on Saturday 27 July.

BMX | Martin whips into World Cup lead

4/6/2019

Roaring into the finals with the best semi final score, a bout of food poisoning the morning of the finals halted the Logan Martin run at the top spot at the second round of the BMX Freestyle World Cup competition in Montpellier. 

19-year-old American Justin Dowdell (91.20 points) took the win, Martin scoring 89.6 points on his first final run, before calling off his second early.  It was the second straight bronze for the Gold Coast cyclist who now leads the World Cup rankings after two rounds. 

​"Qualified first going into finals, got a bit of food poisoning the morning of finals but came pretty good come time to ride, just lacked a bit of energy," Martin told his fans via social media. "Ended up taking third place which also means I’m sitting in first overall leading into China so I’m pumped on!!

"Can’t really complain with third but definitely felt better on my bike the previous few days! I had a lot more to do but couldn’t make it happen this time around, looking forward to the last stop in China later in the year!"

Brandon Loupos, who took the gold in the World Cup's opening round in Japan in May, landed heavily on the second jump of his first final run which ended his run, before pulling off a series of spectacular tricks including a double back flip in his second run to score 72.40 points which placed him ninth.

The third round of the 2019 BMX Freestyle World Cup will be held in China in November, just ahead of the World Championships also in China.
