David Herman, la révélation du SX en 2008

Vainqueur au Supercross de Fréjus, David Herman est LA révélation US de l'année. BMXMania lui consacre un reportage complet.

===================
"David Herman has had a incredible season on the 5 race UCI World Cup Supercross series, with one win in Adelaide, Australia, a 6th place finish in Salt Lake City along with 2 semi final main event appearances in Madrid, Spain and Copenhagen, Denmark.

This consistency had David sitting in 3rd overall heading into the final event. David was selected as one of 4 male athletes to represent team USA in France, as part of the funded team, which is a huge honor.
In the time trails, David would qualify 19th fastest out of the 96 entrants. The top 64 would advance to the event, and David easily made his way out of the 1/8, ¼ and ½ rounds into the main event.
In the main event, David was up a strong field of riders, including many riders who just competed in the Olympic Games. When the gate dropped, David had his best start of the weekend and just edged out fellow USA racer Donny Robinson going into the first turn and from there, David was never contested for the lead and rode a strong lap to the win. The win, the biggest in his short Pro Career, catapulted him to 2nd overall in the 2008 UCI series, and solidified him as one of the new starts of the Supercross series with being the only rider to win 2 events in 2008.

David will now return to the USA and get ready for the ABA Fall Nationals Disney Cup in Orlando, FL. David currently sits in 4th in the ABA title chase, where his teammate Danny Caluag, leads the series."
