HEALESVILLE rider Josh Callan has confirmed his place in the world championships in Denmark.
The 20-year-old was selected as part of the Australian BMX team that will contest the UCI BMX world championships, the precursor to determine how many riders Australia can start in the 2012 Olympic Games.
Supercross series champion for 2009 and two-time junior world champion, Sam Willoughby, is ranked second in the world with Brian Kirkham sitting seventh and Khalen Young in 11th place.
Willoughby, Kirkham and Josh Callan all made the final of last weekend’s Supercross World Cup round in Papendal, the Netherlands. Willoughby is the reigning Australian champion, winning the title in Cairns ahead of Kirkham and Callan.
Callan will be one of five riders to compete in the elite team in Copenhagen from 27 to 31 July.
