Cobra's Robertson & Woodcock win @ MX Master Kids‏


Cobra’s
Stilez Robertson (50cc) and Dylan Woodcock (65cc) win big @ MX Master
Kids


Annual
global Des Nations-style event for junior MX racers’ held in France
this past weekend and the highly out-numbered Cobra riders score
major class wins!


HILLSDALE, Mich., (July 13, 2011) –
Chalk up two more impressive victories for Cobra competition mini
cycles on the global stage as California’s Stilez Robertson
and the UK’s Dylan Woodcock scored overall victories in
their respective 50cc and 65cc classes at the eighth annual MX Master
Kids held at France’s Commercy MX track.



Robertson opened
the competition by dominating the 50cc 9-and-under qualifiers on his
Cobra CX50 Sr., aka the “King 50.” The skies would open up a bit
prior to the start of Robertson’s main event and, on a greasy
track, he had to come from behind to catch the leaders. Passing for
the lead versus a KTM-mounted Estonian racer, Robertson looked to be
into the clear around the third lap – only to get punted in a
corner by the same racer.



With the No. 1 and No. 2 riders on the
ground, Robertson was able to get back up and mount an attack on the
new lead racer – who he’d passed en route to his initial moto
lead position. Committed, Robertson pinned his King 50 and passed for
the lead, eventually opening up a 30-second margin at the checkers.
And all that with a flat rear tire!



And equaling the excitement of
Robertson’s 50cc class finals run was Woodcock in the 65cc class.
Held up in the first turn, Woodcock was back in 14th place
in the full-gate 65 class finals moto. Picking off rider after rider
the UK’s top mini cycle racer – on his Cobra CX65 – finally
caught the lead rider and passed him with four corners remaining. The
two battled to the end and Woodcock won ‘er at the checkers!



“It was one of those races where, at
the start, you were saying to yourself ‘Never, not going to
happen,’” said Cobra’s European operative Neil McClelland of
Woodcock’s perceived chances to win. “And then it did. Definitely
the weekend’s most thrilling race out of all the classes.”



Also running well on his Cobra CX65 was
the UK’s Harry Wichmann, who placed 5th in the
65cc class at the MX Master Kids.
