BikeRadar Quick spin: Multiple world champ dirt racer Brian Lopes
By Gary Boulanger, US editor for BikeRadar
Brian Lopes is coming to BikeRadar Live on 30-31 May
Brian Lopes is the same age as Lance Armstrong (37), but unlike the Texan, has never retired from racing since his early BMX days in 1975. The racer from Laguna Beach, California has won the 4X World Championships four times, is nearly unstoppable in dual slalom and was inducted into both the mountain bike and BMX halls of fame in 2008.
Lopes is highly competitive, and despite turning some heads when he signed with Ibis Cycles two years ago after seven years with the much bigger GT, hasn't lost his competitive edge or keen eye for organisation or detail. BikeRadar grabbed a few minutes with him ahead of this weekend's BikeRadar Live festival at Donington Park.
