The Rotorua club rider won five of her six heats and both finals against some stern competition from across the Tasman including the 2009 Australian BMX and Mountainbike female of the year, Caroline Buchanan and Beijing Olympian Nicole Callisto Walker had a layoff after re-injuring her wrist after a crash in the final Supercross round in California. The honours were shared in the elite men’s competition was shared with Tauranga’s Kurt Pickard winning Saturday’s round and Australian Brian Kirkham prevailing in a reduced field today. Australian Darryn Goodwin was too classy, winning both rounds in the junior men’s competition from local Sunset Coast rider Trent Woodcock-Takurua.
