Seems live now, can anyone confirm? http://www.redbull.tv/live/AP-1KNJ1QHMH1W11/uci-bmx-world-championships

 

The live timing has nothing going on at the moment, so it seems like it.

Damn. Jimmi lost it in the end!

Crossing my fingers for the rankings ending out right for Niklas.

[Agger 1,700]

14 countries have at least one rider in the men's 1/4 finals.

Most of them are countries who are more or less sure to take quota places from the national rankings (Germany and Venezuela ar the only ones that seems to be out of that race).

I believe it's looking pretty good for a danish place in the men's conmpetition in Rio, though I'm not sure at all.

I hope Laura Smulders be good, nasty fall

Amazing Pajon and amazing finals

Gabriela Diaz is qualified for reallocation

Silver for Kimmann, that's a nice surprise 

 

And very impressive riders for Van Gendt, Van Benthem, Judy Baauw, Merel Smulders and Ruby Huisman today, this is looking good for the future

Well, last year's results don't really mean so much anymore one year later

 

This year he really was not in shape at all...bad moves, not strong enough to overtake the places he lost in the first turn and so on. So considering the more recent months, him winning a medal definitely is kind of a surprise
