Sam Willoughby wins BMX World Cup Series (6 comments) (link) Tuesday, 13-October-2009 2:48 PM - by Scott
Yeaahh Samabee!
After a doubtful start in qualifying motos, Australia’s Sam Willoughby scraped through by a mere point to progress on and eventually win the elite men’s BMX Supercross World Cup final round in Frejus (fray jers), France. The 18 year old from Adelaide creates history by becoming the youngest rider ever to win the overall World Cup Series plus the first Australian to claim a series win.
“I had a real rough start to the day. The pressure was on but I managed to pull my head back in and refocus on the job at hand. I learnt a lot about myself today!” said Willoughby.
For the final I wanted the inside lane and used that to my advantage, Maris (Strombergs) and I fought it out on the first straight and it was a drag race to the finish. It is a privilege to race against such formidable competition. Great to win here and to be the 2009 overall season winner.”
Only four months earlier Willoughby rewrote history books by becoming the first rider ever to win two World Junior Championships and his success continued in the World Cups following that with a win in round two and second in round three.

Vic DH Series Round 1 Venue Change (0 comments) (link) Tuesday, 6-October-2009 6:41 PM - by Scott
Swanny sends word that the venue has changed due to unforseen circumstances:
The VDHS Round 1 event scheduled for the 17/18 October, at Eildon, has been RELOCATED to the mighty fine venue of the YOU YANGS.
Unfortunately, FTF has hit a shire council wall, and can not get a permit. We dont know why this has happened, and right now we dont care. All we know is, that as of Friday we found out that our permit is not current. We spent all weekend (while away) figuring out what to do. The You Yangs MTB club has VERY KINDLY agreed to supply a venue and help FTF run the first race.
The VDHS Organisers, and FTF apologise for this mess up, and regret the situation. Please understand that this also affects us greatly, and is a very stressful situation for organisers. For those coming from interstate, we really do apologise and hope you still make the journey down for the You Yangs.
