SX: Carl Ostermann steps onto the podium on Friday!

At the kickoff for the ADAC SX Cup in Stuttgart, Carl, who at just 11 years old is the youngest rider in the SX3 class, brought home his first podium finish. After a textbook holeshot, the Fox racing athlete was left with just two competitors and finished third after an impressive performance!

The Saturday was going good through the qualifying race (4th), but it ended with a crash in the final race. After a short check-up in the hospital, Carl got the all clear and was able to limp away with a bruised shoulder.

Thomas Ramsbacher, Fox Head Europe:
“That was a strong performance at the race on Friday, but we’re aware that such a result is still the exception. Right now we’re not so focused on the results — the most important thing is for Carl to develop his potential step by step. On Friday the kid showed us that anything is possible!”
