Congrats Mitch Ropelato!

Mitch Ropelato took 1st place in the Junior Expert 4x class at the Angel Fire, NM MTB nationals on saturday. The JrX class is very fast, and the stepping stone to the pro classes. This win is like someone showing up to an ABA national and winning A pro in their 5th or 6th BMX race.

I think this gives him the inside track on making the US Jr team that will race at the UCI Worlds later this year.

Way to go Mitch!
