Luke Strobel Takes Win In Mexico
Latest 23 Degrees signing, 21 year old Luke Strobel from Washington State, won the final round of the Mexican National Downhill Series in Puebla, Mexico, last weekend. Luke, who rides for the Maxxis USA Team, got a last minute call up to race in the event after an injured Greg Minnaar was unable to attend. Despite not being as big of a household name in Mexico as Minnaar, Luke impressed the locals with an amazing run in the final, winning by more than 11 seconds on a 2 minute course, and has earned a return invite any time he wants. "Mexico was amazing. The track was pretty good with a lot of berms and jumps up top and steep rock sections near the bottom. Even though it was a bit short, it was a lot of fun. The organizers went out of their way to look after me and I'd be keen to go back any time," said Luke on his return from south of the border this week. Results: 1. Luke Strobel (USA) – 2m 14.97secs 2. Guillermo de Uslar (MEX) – 2m 25.43secs 3. Ricardo Preciado Negrete (MEX) – 2m 26.59secs www.23degrees-sports.comLatest news
