November 21, 2009 (Melbourne, Australia) – Travis Smith was the sole Canadian competitor on the final day of the World Cup in Melbourne contesting the men’s sprint. Travis opened up his sprint tournament on a positive result qualifying 10th with a 10.365 for the 200m. The fastest time of the day was Shane Perkins of Australia who rode a 10.0. The top 16 riders of 34 went through to the sprint rounds.

Next up for Travis was Daniel Ellis of Australia (Jayco) the 7th fastest qualifier in the 1/8 ride. Daniel took the lead and continued to raise the pace until it was too late for Travis to come around, so Ellis advanced and Travis advanced to the B 1/4 final. Travis faced 2009 world sprint silver medalist from Maylasia, Azizul Awang. Travis decided to ride from the front as few had been able to win from behind previously but in the end Azizul had too much speed and Travis’s day and event were over.

This concluded the racing for all Canadian’s here in Melbourne and there were some positive results coming out of this race with Jacob Schwingboth showing he can now race at the world elite level and we can expect better results as he gains more experience. Travis Smith has also showed with his 10.3 here and earlier in the year 9.9 that he is now regaining form from his broken pelvis and subsequent year lay off.

All of these are to be built upon and the next project will be a full Canadian team at the third World Cup in Cali Columbia from December 10-12.
