MNSS FMX RIDER ANDRE VILLA WINS RED BULL X FIGHTERS IN MEXICO CITY
Norway’s Andre Villa pulled off a surprise win at the first stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2010 in Mexico City. With the main event forced to be abandoned due to extreme weather conditions, the Norwegian used his win in Qualifying to claim victory in the city’s Plaza de Toros Monumental. This was Villa's first win in major competition. “I have trained hard my whole life and made so many sacrifices for this,” explained the delighted 27-year-old. In just a few weeks time, on May 14, the Red Bull X-Fighters will get their chance for revenge at the second World Tour stop directly in front of the world-famous Sphinx in Giza, Egypt. Further stops in Moscow, Madrid, London and Rome complete the World Tour 2010.
