Summer Slam 2026, Day 2 Morning Session

Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, France, and Bulgaria. How about Guatemala, Argentina, Cuba, Canada, and of course Mexico. And don't forget the Philippines and Korea, New Zealand, and Australia - the Summer Slam at Velo Sports Center has turned out to be a very international affair. Cool - I've always though that makes the racing extra exciting - and FAST! It would be great if there are more opportunities to see this level of competition before the Olympic Games in two years, but when they present themselves you've got to take advantage I say. Anyway, racing continues tomorrow (Sunday) and then again next weekend - July 3rd, 4th and 5th. A taste of the action is below, and at some point there will be an album of more pics.
