Kabush Wins US Cup Championship

Scott/3Rox’ Geoff Kabush has added another championship to his total with a victory in the US Cup series. The longtime Maxxis rider locked up his title by taking second place at the season’s final cross country race, held June 28 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Kabush’s steady performance throughout the race positioned him to finish on the podium, with a last-minute sprint pushing him to second place. Kabush, who only needed an 11th place or better finish to claim the title, was pleased with his results in comments to cyclingnews.com: “I felt pretty steady but not super, so I was being conservative for a few laps, but by the middle of the race, I felt stronger and stronger. I was surprised the gap got out to over a minute, but I knew I could keep those guys in sight and I’d be ok. I’m really excited for my Scott/3Rox Racing Team to take home the belt for this first US Cup. It’s great to see the excitement building for cross country racing here in the US, and I’m also excited to take home this title. It’s definitely great to take home a big check as well, so big thanks to Scott Tedro for putting all of this together.”

Maxxis congratulates Geoff Kabush on his latest title and thanks him for proving for so many years that Maxxis is the brand of champions.
