The hard yards of training paid off for Richmond’s Reuben Bensemann as he took out the 2018 overall downhill winter series title for his first time.

With a series of five races, each of anywhere between 3-5 minutes, the avid mountainbiker says following a race he’d launch into training on the next race’s track and it was this foresight he credits with enabling him to take out the win.

I was a bit surprised at winning but I was definitely training pretty hard,” says Reuben.

The win is providing motivation and he’s now inspired to hit the next level by entering in the New Zealand Downhill series.
