2007 Right Guard Open - BMX Vert Finals
Jul 24 2007 / Cleveland, OH
Simon Tabron Wins Mystery BMX Vert Finals at Dew Tour
So the saying goes, what if they held a BMX Vert competition and no one watched? Well, apparently, Jamie Bestwick would lose a Dew Tour competition for the first time in a year.
The Dew Tour website has results of a BMX Vert final posted, but no announcement yet about when it happened or what actually went down to result in the odd results that are posted. Not that Simon Tabron isn't great -- but Jamie Bestwick 7th? Behind Francisco Zurita, even? The loss, of course, means that Bestwick can't sweep the season, but in 2005 and 2006 he did lose one tour stop (actually, he missed one in 2005 and lost one in 2006 to, you got it, Simon Tabron).
Last we heard from the scene -- around 7 p.m. local time -- the place was empty and riders were leaving, etc. But since the the FMX Prelims were held on Saturday night around midnight, anything's possible.
Full results are below. No scores tallied for John Parker or Jimmy Walker, leading one to believe they might have missed the finals, as some riders were reported to have left.
We'll see if we can get some photos from the Dew Tour on this one. We have some photos from eariler in the days as riders tried to start the competition before entering an indefinite rain delay. You can see that photo gallery here:
