Colombia’s Mariana Pajón and Switzerland’s Simon Marquart claimed the overall International Cycling Union (UCI) BMX Supercross World Cup titles as the season concluded in Sakarya.

The season finale was the fourth consecutive round of the series to take place at the Turkish track, half of the calendar.

Pajón, the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic champion, topped the standings heading into the final round of the women’s event.

She faced pressure from Laura Smulders, after the Dutch rider had won back-to-back races in Sakarya to clear the gap in the standings.

Smulders made it a hat-trick of victories by crossing the line in the final in a time of 37.752 seconds, with United States’ Felicia Stancil ending narrowly behind in 37.846.

Pajón rounded off the podium places in 38.409, with the Colombian achieving the third place required to guarantee the overall World Cup title for the first time since 2015.

The Colombian ended top of the standings on 815 points, with Smulders and Stancil following on 770 and 705 respectively.

Marquart triumphed in the final men’s race of the season, which helped him secure the season’s title.

The Swiss cyclist was the only rider to dip below 34 seconds in the final, crossing the line in a winning time of 33.671.

Colombia’s Diego Arboleda, who earned a maiden World Cup win yesterday, finished second in 34.046.

France’s Joris Daudet was third in 34.081.

Marquart finished top of the World Cup standings with a total of 740 points.

Colombia’s Carlos Ramirez was second on 675, with his title hopes dashed when he failed to make today’s final.

Daudet completed the top three on 640 points.

The final women’s under-23 race of the season saw France’s Lea Brindjonc triumph in 38.676.

Latvia’s Vineta Petersone and Switzerland’s Thalya Burford followed in 38.828 and 39.410.

Burford won the overall title with 970 points, followed by Brindjonc and Japan’s Jui Yabuta on 710 and 480 respectively.
