UCI BMX World Championships — July 27-31 2011 Copenhagen

New Zealand’s world number one ranked BMX star Marc Willers is ready to break his world championship hoodoo in Copenhagen today.

Willers gave the Copenhagen track the thumbs-up after the first practice session.

“The track is actually really good. We have raced on this basic layout for the last four years here and it has been fine-tuned a little bit. The surface is like concrete, it is super-fast right now and it will be an excellent track to race on,”

Willers said.

“It is the different end of the scale from the last World Cup in Holland. This one we will get some good clean racing, make some moves without having to worry about someone blowing up. I love this track.”

There you have it – life is great in Copenhagen!

Btw: Who’s Willers? Well, one of our tweetamigos caught him. Here’s a presentation from us to you here he is:

Willers heads the biggest ever BikeNZ elite team. The 25-year-old US-based rider has been among the form riders in the world this year, winning the Supercross World Cup at Papendal as well as the Continental titles in North America and Oceania while he has a healthy lead in the ABA National Series.
