First world cup round of Maribor is over and we are already on the road again. The world cup went pretty good so far even the results are not as they could be. All riders have been on fire and tried to brave the conditions as everybody. Unfortunately Brook and Filip crashed in their race run and so they are further back in the ranking. Luke was handicapped by a cold, but he was able to finish in the first 3rd of the top 80’s, which is maybe not what he expected, after his qualification where he ended up 6th.
Steve had a pretty solid but not faultless run which got him into 6th place. This is his best world cup result since he is racing and shows that he is getting closer to his first podium.
6. Steve Smith CAN
22. Luke Strobel USA
38. Brook MacDonald NZL
58. Filip Polc SVK
Now we are on the way to Winterberg Germany to race the IXS cup in course of the Dirtmasters Festival. Right now it’s no sure if it’s just Filip, Brook and Lewis will race there, as Luke and Steve may stay in Europe because of the volcanic ash cloud- it seems like there is no problem to fly out of Europe, but there might be a problem to fly in for the next world cup round in Fort William.
Stay tuned for the next news of the IXS cup races in Winterberg and Innerleithen.
