La Paz , BCS, Mexico (11/24/2010)
- - After a 25 hour run from Ensenada to La Paz
that was plagued with problems and adversity,
Team Moto X Nutrition Pro Caliber came away with
the overall ATV victory in the 43rd running of
the Baja 1000! The team battled a blown rear shock,
losing 1st gear, and crashing off half of their
race lights to beat all of Class 24 and most of
Class 25. Even a flawless run down the nearly
1100 mile peninsula course is quite a feat in
itself, and the team managed to do it in less
than 25 hours! The MXN team was able to overcome
their issues and ride hard for the win.
The point to point 1000 has a history of challenging
racers to really dig down and find out of what
they are made. It is well known by any accomplished
Baja racer that it is nearly impossible to make
it through this race unscathed and it's how you,
your team, and your crew react to the challenges
that will get you to the finish line. It’s
their combined effort and intense and thorough
preparations that get you to the finish first.
After leaving last year's 1000 in 2nd place, the
team charged ahead this year hungry for the win
and dominated all season long.
Rider of record and Team Manager Brandon Brown
explained, "I've been trying to instill the
mindset into everyone involved with our team to
just make good decisions. You’re going to
have problems if you come down here and play.
The decisions you make in the midst of adversity
will make you or break you. Our team made good
decisions and as a result of it we won the Baja
1000!"
With this victory, Team Moto X Nutrition Pro Caliber
has won the Tecate Score 2010 Class 24 Championship
as well as the series overall ATV Championship
for the season! They were presented with their
awards Saturday after the race.
"Jeremy and I are extremely proud of the
job our MotoXNutrition/Pro Caliber team did this
year. We punish these guys at our new UHA (Universal
Human Athletics) training facility all year leading
up to this race, and team leader Brandon Brown
would push the team for more. Brandon and I already
discussed raising the bar again to prove and ensure
our continued success next year," says fitness
trainer, nutrition expert, and title sponsor Christian
Chambers.
Congratulations to the team: Brandon Brown, Mike
Bender, Kenny Sanford, Jorie Williams, Michael
Kelley, and Nick Nelson!
