¿ Qué ha pasado ?.
Si vienes siguiendo los post de RED DIVISION, sabrás que el pronóstico era que ganase un niño de 9 años.
Pero en USA BMX los puntos van en función del número de inscritos de tu categoría, y Drew lo tenia en ese apartado todo a su favor.
Necesitaba ganar la carrera...sencillo. ¿ Sencillo ?. Ni de coña...entre sus rivales estaban nada más y nada menos que Carnes, y Rupe !!. ( Vale, tienes menos de 40 años, y llevas 15 haciendo BMX. Son 2 ex AA Pro ).
Aquí tienes la historia :
Next up came the cruiser title chase.
Coming into this
weekend's greatest race on earth, we knew it would be a showdown between the
younger rider and the old farts.
With 41 riders in 9under cruiser they had good
rider count, but compared to 51 riders in the 46 to 50 H class, Motley held the
advantage.
Answer-Rennen's dominant 9 year old, Marshall Gehrke, was
sitting number two in points and was out to at least retain his NAG number one
plate, and then crossed his fingers hoping to also nab the National black plate
as well.
He did just that with a start-to-finish win, all the way from gate
eight! From here, he'd just have to wait until 46-50 cruiser and cheer for
anybody other than Motley.
Drew Motley started from lane seven and the intensity built
when USA BMX president B.A. Anderson announced the usual line: "With the
win, and only a win, Drew could become the national number one cruiser
champ."
As the gate slammed down, Motley didn't get the best start
of his life, and as expected - holeshot artist Eric Sweets did.
Coming out of
the first turn, Sweets held the lead but Motley and his belt-driven Yess
cruiser pulled up alongside him on the outside - and then proceeded to pass
Eric like he was standing still. Out of the Tulsa turn, Drew had five bike
lead. By the last turn, Motley won with an easy seven or eight bike length
lead.
Crossing the line, the celebration began with hugs and
high-fives all around. Motley had just made history - being the first National
No.1 Champion to win the title without a chain.
