ALBERTON -Dodd (21) from the South who started his BMX career with the Alrode BMX Club and several times SA champion, finished behind Rihards Veide (first) and Layne Gainer (second) in the Pro class open race.
He then competed in the UCI North American Continental BMX Championships, finishing fourth, second and again second in the qualifying rounds to be followed up by an eighth place in the quarter-finals.
“What an awesome experience it was for me to race this super cross event. Day two was the big day I had been preparing for over the past few months. The racing was tough all day, but the three moto’s went well. I started great, ensuring clean laps and very little mistakes,” Kyle commented afterwards.
The man of the moment added: “Setting up for the quarters was difficult, seeing that I had never been in that situation before. My gate was the best I have ever had, but I made a couple of mistakes and finished up with an eighth place. All in all I am thrilled with the progress I have seen over the past couple of weeks of training.” he said.
Kyle, the pride and joy of Alrode and Gauteng BMX, now travels to Orlando, Florida, to continue his training ahead of the opening round of the five-stop 2015 UCI BMX Super Cross World Cup in Manchester, United Kingdom from April 18 to 19.
