Luke Madill laid his claim on a Beijing Olympic berth after winning the second round of the BMX National Tour in Perth on Sunday.

The 2005 National Champion has made a tremendous comeback after breaking his back in May in a training accident which saw him hospitalised for two months.

It wasn't until August that he could even get back on the bike at all.

Daniel Johnstone stayed on Madill’s wheel and was ahead of a massive tangle in the first berm to finish second.

Bill Hobbs and Wade Bootes got caught in the ‘wash’ and finished third and fourth respectively.

Bootes now leads the Series with 189 points while Madill sits second on the table with 169 points.

Saturday's winner, Alex Cameron made it into third on the series table. Warwick Stevenson was eliminated in the semi-finals. 

In the women's elite, two Perth riders finished neck and neck with Tanya Bailey winning from 2004 World Junior Champion, Nicole Callisto.

Top ranked Australian, Bailey was able to keep the rising star, Callisto, at bay. Callisto returned to racing this weekend for the first time since her knee reconstruction saw her sidelined in January this year.

The girls raced on their home track of Wanneroo but have recently moved to Sydney to pursue their Olympic pursuits.

After winning yesterday at Hills in Perth, Callisto now leads the series by 231 points with Bailey in second on 211 points. The return of five time World Champion, Rachel Simpson with a third place makes it clear that the she could be out for a spot in the Olympic team.
