BikeTrial Federation Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The first round of the UCI World Cup kicked off today in Aalter (Belgium) with the 20" and 26" Quarter Finals. There will be two British riders in the 26" Semi-Finals, with Andrei Burton finishing in 3rd place on 11 points and Jack Carthy qualifying in first place with an incredible score of just 1 point! Dave Kerr finished in 19th place, just missing out on a Semi-Finals place, and Scott Wilson finished in 40th place. The full results from the 26" Quarter Finals, with details of who qualified for tomorrow's Semis are available here: Results. Not sure when the 20" results will be published (they may already have been and I just can't find them), but I know that Vincent Hermance qualified first on 17 ahead of Felix Heller (21) and Ion Areitio (29), and that no there were no British riders riding in the Quarter Finals. Results of the coming Semi-Final, Final and Super Final will probably be posted on the event's official Facebook page, on the Live Results page and on the World Cup website. Kenny Belaey's also done a great job of securing media coverage of the event and you can watch the Super Finals live at 13:45 on Sunday at the following sites: www.lifetv.be: LIVE coverage of the 26” Super Final www.sporza.be: LIVE coverage of the 26” Super Final www.extreme.com: 1 hour of live coverage of the 26” Super Final I won't be able to watch it unfortunately (stupid family events!) so if anyone is able to record it somehow and post it here so people can watch it after the fact I, and I'm sure a lot of other people, would be extremely grateful! Anyway, I'm sure you'll all join me in wiching Jack and Andrei the very best of luck for the Semi-Finals tomorrow (and hopefully the Finals and Super-Finals on Sunday!). Keep it up lads! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I think it was live coverage of the 26" Super Final only. Not sure though. I imagine there'll be some edits appearing over the next few weeks.I think it was live coverage of the 26" Super Final only. Not sure though.
