A Chilean champion abroad. Pedro Burnsa Chilean enduro cycling specialist, celebrated a new title to his record last weekend in Ecuador.
One of Burns’ goals for the second half of this year was to take advantage of every instance of competing within the region, and he is proving that.
The chuleno traveled to Cuenca, to participate in the second date of the Open Shimano, an important event that celebrates its 15 years of existence, positioning itself as one of the most important on the continent, and took first place in the Elite Pro category.
Thousands of people came to the town of Cuenca to witness a day full of adrenaline and audacity of the downhill riders, who jumped and skidded down the hill in the second meeting of the Open Shimano Latam.
The contest had a high difficulty, which the unpredictable weather in the area further complicated, forcing the competitors to change tires due to the mud while the day before in training, the ground was completely dry: “It was a strategic challenge when choosing what was best, in making decisions and in how to face the race with the type of conditions that could touch us”, commented Pedro Burns, Red Bull athlete.
The podium was completed by Mario Jarrin and Gato Valdivieso, two world champions. “I am too happy. It is a super important championship. I won within a range of renowned riders from all countries. I dropped 5 seconds from my time in training and the podium was beautiful, with the best downhill riders”, said the athlete excitedly, who will continue with a busy schedule of sports competitions.
