Hero action team and young boys from Himachal and Shimla dominated proceedings on the second day of the 4th UT MTB Shimla – India’s premier Mountain biking challenge. With a staggering 7 of the top 10 from shimla , the local lads have shown their mettle. The average age group of these set of riders is mere 19 years and with the right support they can definitely be the best as they have shown.
I am proud of what these young school and college boys have done. They are definitely showing the way forward for everyone. Young, enthusiastic and determined. This is talent that will eventually establish India as a force to reckon with in the world of Mountain biking. I can’t express how happy I am. These boys have shown that its not about the bike 🙂 – Said Ashish Sood – Manager of Hero Action Team and member of HASTPA
