Connor finish 6th at UCI BMX World Cup Round 9 at Santiago Del Estero, Argentina

29 September 2019

Connor Fields headed down to Santiago Del Estero for the final 2 rounds of the 2019 UCI BMX World Cup SX series. With Connor being injured in the beginning of the season and missing 3 of the 5 stops, the overall title was out of each for him, but landing back on the podium at one of his favorite events of the season was the main goal.

With Joris Daudet still sidelined from his crash from the UCI BMX World Championships, Connor would be the loner Factory rider to attend, but many other supported Chase Athletes were also in attendance for the World Cup Finals.

On Day 1, Connor once again rode out front almost the entire day of qualifying and made his way into the main event. A stacked main event isn’t something that Connor isn’t a custom to, but a result of 6th place in the fanal was. While making the main is a huge accomplishment in itself, Connor always wants to be on the podium, if not taking the win. But he would have to wait for a chance on day 2 to do so.

Day 2 started early due to looming weather conditions, but it also helped the racers dodge the heat wave that has hit Santiago Del Estero. Connor was on good form for the day, leading up to the semi final. One small mistake kept him out of the main event, ending his World Cup season a little early.
