Bad luck for Roger Rinderknecht in Beijing
Roger Rinderknecht failed to make his way into the finals of the Olympic BMX race competition. Three semi final heats had to be mastered. Roger crashed in the first one, became third in round two, but had a bad hang-up in the last run. Hopefully this year’s silver medal at the mountain bike 4X World Championships will help Roger to be on the rebound.
The premiere of the BMX race discipline at the Olympic Games was exciting and action packed. All riders who did not manage to get on the podium can look forward to a second chance in London 2012. But for sure, all competitors will be delighted in some way now and happy to have some spare time to be spent with their families, like Roger does. More on http://www.rasoulution.com
