Adelberg wins 2nd day of the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Basel

On Sunday the Freestyle Motocross elite entered the St. Jakobshalle in Basel for the 4th contest of the NIGHT of the JUMPs / FIM Freestyle MX World Championship. This time Rob Adelberg from Australia did the best run and took the win. Brody Wilson and current World Championship leader Libor Podmol landed on 2nd and 3rd position.

Today all of the FMX riders had safe runs on the IFMXF track. Petr Pilat did hard flip combos, Lukas Weis made a massive Underflip and even Alastair Sayer had a good run after yesterdays crash. But all of them missed the final by a few points. So Rob Adelberg, Libor Podmol, Jose Miralles, Massimo Bianconcini, Brice Izzo and Brody Wilson made it in the next round.

In the finals the athletes pulled out even more spectacular trick premieres. Brice Izzo was debuting a 1-Hand Can Underflip and the spectators were stoked. But even with this trick the French rider did not make it onto the podium. Onto that Brody Wilson climbed after a sixth place he had in the qualifying. With a save run and lots of combo tricks he ended up on 2nd position. Libor Podmol invented the Switchblade Underflip. But this massive trick was only good enough for the 3rd place. The victory went to Rob Adelberg who mixed up hard backflips and a bunch of multiple trick combos. So the Australian rider reached his first victory in the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship series.

The Race & Style went to Libor Podmol, while Step up specialist Alastair Sayer won the Highest Air.

In the overall ranking of the FIM Freestyle MX World Championship it is closer than ever. Rob Adelberg and Libor Podmol are sharing the 1st place with 72 points each. Jose Miralles is on 3rd position with 54 points.

The next points for the World Championship will be given on May 15th/16th at the NIGHT of the JUMPs in Sanliurfa/Turkey.
