Great Britain Cycling Team’s Tre Whyte won all three of his qualification heats as the final round of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup started in Sarasota on Saturday.
Whyte, 22, was in imperious form to book his place in Sunday’s elite men’s motos while Bethany Shriever secured her spot in the elite women’s motos.
The 17-year-old British Cycling Senior Academy rider is in her first season of world cup racing and victories in the first two of her three races, along with second place in the last heat, saw her head into the second day in positive style.
Evans in time trial action
As one of the top-16 riders in the overall world cup ranking, Kyle Evans competed in the elite men’s time trial superfinal and took 12th with a lap time of 34.851 seconds.
France’s Sylvain Andre won in 33.870 seconds, denying second-place Tory Nyhaug a clean sweep on time trial wins in the series.
Rio Olympian Evans will join Tre Whyte and Curtis Manaton, who also qualified on Saturday, in the motos.
Dutch rider Laura Smulders won the elite women's time trial superfinal.
