As a runner-up of the National XCO Series 2009 Infantil B, Emil F. finished the 2010 season strong, and managed to defend the fifth overall in the Infantil C category. His placement in the general classification was jeopardized when we decided to not attend a race added by the National Federation in the middle of the season. As a team we protested this irregularity by not showing up, a feeling shared by many other teams.
Emil F. did an extraordinary race in Rancho Santa Elena, host of the last race of the season, and secured the fifth overall.

Michel Awad, Overall Champion National XCO Series 2010

Like most young MTB riders, due to the age category margin of two years, Michel enjoys one good year and one bad year. His last good year was 2008, were he was also overall  champion of the National XCO series and runner-up in the XCO National Championships, Infantil AA. His bad year was 2009, were he ended third overall in the national series and fifth in the championships, Infantil A. 2010 is a very good year and he has won the overall in the series and the championships.
