“Fellow national champion Saya Sakakibara showed full confidence in her first race on a full-sized start ramp since suffering a concussion last June. In the elite women’s final, Sakakibara jumped out to a commanding lead and held off Megan Williams (NZ) and Erin Lockwood to win by almost a second.
Sakikibara said it felt good to know she can get into the racing zone again on 8-metre ramps. She is now looking forward to the upcoming international season.
“This week was just a kind of like a practice into Tulsa [for the USA BMX Pro Series] in two weeks’ time, and then three weeks after that it’s going to be the World Cup, so I think this weekend was pretty successful,” Sakakibara said.” – Read More on Aus Cycling
