Forty-five riders from Belgium, Netherlands, Latvia, France and Switzerland set up shop at the Velosolutions 110m long creation in Brussels, Belgium for the latest Red Bull Pump Track World Championship qualifying rounds. Riders included both racers and freestylers from BMX and MTB.

In the women’s draw, local Supercross BMX twins, the Gommers sisters where both on top form and looking for tickets to the Lisbon finals in October, it took Olympian, Elke Vanhoof, to separated them on the podium. Aiko Gommers, though, was untouchable all day, consistency setting the fastest lap times and earning her ticket to Portugal with an 11.622 lap time.

 

Women’s Results:

1: Aiko Gommers – 11.622 seconds
