“We are very excited to be able to include the UCI BMX Supercross in the highly anticipated and prestigious 2005 Dew Action Sports Tour”, said Johan Lindstrom, UCI BMX Sports Coordinator. “This will be an excellent opportunity to show BMX racing at its best and gives us a platform to promote BMX racing in a format we can expect in the 2008 Olympics.”

“We are pleased to be hosting a leg of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup at the Toyota stop in San Jose in September 2005, as one of our specialty competitions.
