Fischi takes home his 3rd consecutive City Downhill world tour win of the season in Taxco Mexico.

Taxco Mexico:.. a lot of stairs, huge jumps, 40.000 spectators and urban Downhill gladiators.. The streets of Taxco witnessed the crowning of a new urban DH king; Johannes Fischbach from Germany.

After winning the first stop of the City Downhill World tour in Valparaiso (CHI) and also taking home the win during the 2nd stop in Bratislava (SVK), Fischbach and his Radon Swoop200 made it a clean sweep, by also taking the top step in Taxco (MEX). Johannes taking the win in front of Fillip Polc, Bernard Kerr and Tomas Slavik.

Johannes Fischbach:
“I wasn’t sure if I was fit enough to battle for the podium as I have been ill for over 3 weeks. During first practice, I found out that this track suited me perfectly and with the run only being under 2 minutes I was hoping to bring home a good run. During my race run I was on the edge, but had a perfect run, which resulted in a win by over 0,7 seconds. Just smiles from there, crazy that I won every round of the series this year”.
