Leon, Sixth Round of the XCO National Series

La dolce vita

Leon organizers appear to be more concerned about the UCI inspectors than about the actual competitors. The children's track was not marked in time, it was changed at the last moment and, of course, only local riders knew the real track.

The track had a downhill in uncut grass, with holes, and there were many riders using wheels biger than the reglamentary 20'. Big wheels have a clear advantage in these conditions. Michel was able to secure fifth place (highest pleasing with 20' wheels). No one knows why the judges allowed bikes that did not conform to regulation.

The fifth place gives Michel the overall win in the XCO National Series. He is getting set for the National Championships in Tapalpa Jalisco. Emil F. is in fourth overall. Good year for the team.
