Even in sports, there is justice! Jared Graves disappeared off the World Cup map in 2008. Qualifying for the Beijing Olympic Games in BMX meant skipping Maribor and Vallnord. Now that he is qualified the Australian returned to 4-cross in a big way! Under the sun and in front a huge throng of enthusiasts, the Yeti rider proved that he still has it on 26-inch wheels.
A 5th by German Guido Tschugg was enough to retain the current World Cup lead.
Among the ladies, the big surprise comes from the defeat of the unbeatable Anneke Beerten. The MS-Intense rider, winner in Maribor and Vallnord, could only manage third place behind Rachel Seydoux and first time winner Jana Horakova. However, Anneke still sits pretty in her World Cup Leader's Jersey!
