Sakakibara and Turner return as Elite National Champions
Bodi Turner and Saya Sakakibara have returned as Australia’s BMX Racing Elite National Champions in 2023, claiming the crowns at Shepparton BMX Track today.
While Turner (Eastfield BMX) made it back-to-back titles, it was the third consecutive elite title for World No 2 Sakakibara (Southlake-Illawarra BMX).
The conditions could barely have been any better for the first national championships at Shepparton since 2019, with warm temperatures and low winds giving riders confidence to give it everything once the gate dropped.

No more rocky rides thanks to women's mountain bike skills program
In October Castlemaine Rocky Riders delivered a fully funded Women’s Skills Program, made possible due to a Change our Game Community Activation grant, to assist in increasing participation of women and girls in sport and active recreation.
The Castlemaine Rocky Riders have been offering women’s social rides since 2021.
This came about from an initiative of their member Natalya Garden after she put up a post on a local Women’s Cycling Facebook page, seeking feedback about what barriers women experienced in being involved in a club social ride or event.
