Second Senior BMX World Title For Reade
World BMX championships
Tiayuan, China - May 28 - June 1 2008
Britain's Shanaze Reade has successfully defended her Elite women's World BMX title in Tiayuan, China. In the final she repeated her awesome destruction of the field last year with another jaw-dropping display of power and precision, blasting clear down the first straight and then controlling the race from the front as the other riders, with the notable exception of former Downhill star, Frenchwoman Anne Caroline Chausson, struggled to stay on the same straight.
Chausson fought for all she is worth and perhaps even closed the gap on Reade in the final straight, but the margin of the win was still very emphatic with Reade clearly cruising for most of the latter half of the race. New Zealander Sarah Walker was third. Earlier, Reade was just as in control of her Quarter and Semi-Final races. GB's other rider Joey Gough was eliminated in the Semi Finals.
