Luke Strobel Wins the U.S. Grand Prix of Mountain Biking Downhill Finals, Leov Secures OverallWashington native and Pivot Bikes pilot, Luke Strobel, earns a downhill racing victory in his backyard. The final stop of the MTBGP took place at Stevens Pass, Washington with a stacked World Cup field. The conditions were unusually dry and loose, which favored an aggressive riding approach, something Strobel is known for. Trek World Racing rider, Justin Leov earned the MTBGP overall victory, despite missing this final race. Leov, who recently announced his retirement from competition, had earned enough points throughout the season to retain the overall victory. Had teammate, Neko Mulally, placed 2nd or better, Leov would not have won the overall. Mulally placed 3rd, only .09 off of 2nd place. |
