A total of 88 BMX racers from around the world congregated in Salt Lake City at the Toyota Challenge for the first of two days of intense BMX racing action. The Friday of the Toyota Challenge, an official time trial was held and racers gave it their all around the track, one by one, to see who was fastest. The top 64 racers will advance to the Olympic Qualifying race on Saturday.

USA Olympic hopeful and time trial specialist Mike Day (USA) proved once again that he is the fastest man on the track and claimed top spot on the 88-man roster. Following Day was Robert DeWilde (NED) and Manuel DeVecchi (ITA) in respectable second and third positions. These three athletes will go into the pro race as the crème de la crème and the ones to beat on Saturday.
