Update from Luke Kirk:
On January 28th I raced the first national downhill of the 2024 season. The race was held at Sabie trails in Mpumalanga.
I came into this race with a fresh mindset and a positive attitude even though having been injured in the offseason I was determined to podium and go as fast as I could. The track had a few long pedal sections and one technical rock garden. Conditions on race day were dry and dust with blown out race lines and a fast group in the Junior category.
I raced my best race and I pushed however I could only manage a third in juniors. I am extremely proud to say I got a ninth over all.
