Lopes still giving the younger pros a run for their money

Former World Champion and mountain bike legend Brian Lopes made it to the finals in the dual slalom at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California, this past Saturday. Then he met his match in 2010 four cross World Cup winner Jared Graves, who ended up winning the event, but Lopes was the only man in the dual slalom race that had also raced the elite short track the previous day.
