Wilson and Bendigo BMX clubmates Brock Tuckerman and Matt White will put their cycling skills to the test against the world’s best in Copenhagen.

The world titles will run from July 27 to 31.

The national championship-winning feats by Wilson and Tuckerman meant they were joint recipients for April in the Bendigo Advertiser-WIN Television Sports Star of the Year award.

One of the biggest challenges the Bendigo BMX aces will face in Europe is adjusting from winter to summer.

“The build-up has been difficult,” Wilson said after doing a few laps on the Eaglehawk track in Victoria Street.

“The cold weather makes it tough for training, and we have had no racing since the Aussie titles in Cairns.

“They are challenges you have to deal with as best you can.”

Not only has Wilson spent as much time as possible on the track, but she has racked up the hours training on the road, on the rollers at home, in the gym.

Away from cycling, she is a hairdresser at Salon Hype and is a mother of two boys.

The sport has grown dramatically since Wilson started BMX racing when she was four.

“BMX is now one of the fastest- growing sports in Australia.

“It’s great to see people of all ages competing and watching.”

At her latest national titles, Wilson won the 17-plus years 20-inch final, and the 31-34 years cruiser contest.

A hectic program of racing in Copenhagen will include three monos (qualifying heats) as riders strive to reach the qualifying, semis and final.

White’s class has drawn 103 starters for the 13-years division.

The year 7 student at Kangaroo Flat’s Crusoe College was third at this year’s national titles.

“To win Australia’s number three plate is the biggest high so far,” White said of his BMX campaign, which began when he was six.

He raced at the 2009 world titles in Adelaide and will be doing all he can to make the final on the 345m track in Denmark.

“Every race will be tough. There are 16 spots on the gate, so the fields are going to be big in all the monos,” White said of tackling the heats.

Tuckerman powered to victory in the 25-29 years final at the 2011 Australian BMX championships in Cairns.

The Strathdale cycling star capped his first national titles final by winning gold.

Since then he has put in plenty of time training and raising money for his third world titles campaign as well as working at Bendigo Cycles.

Tuckerman’s biggest fans are his three daughters and fiancee Cassandra Patten. The couple will marry next March.
