The 25 year old American after three years together with SANTA CRUZ SYNDICATE and several podiums in the World Cup, moves to Canyon CLLCTV. He will join Troy Brosnan, Mark Wallace and Jakob Jewett to aim for the podium with the Canyon CLLCTV Factory Team.
Luke Shaw
Coming from South Carolina, he began his competitive career at the age of eight on the BMX track. After participating in his first mountain bike competition at the age of 13, he discovers the world of downhill. A reality that guaranteed him some unfortunate events, but also brilliant successes that brought him to the pinnacle of greatness.
In 2018 he climbs the top step of the podium three times in Fort William, Leogang and Vallnord.
“Becoming a member of the Canyon Collective was a breath of fresh air! I feel more energized and motivated than ever and I can't wait to go to races with my new team. I'm in love with my new bike and it's a pleasure to work with the whole team, ”says Shaw ahead of the new season.
Luca will race with the Sender CFR and is already preparing for the first World Cup race to be held in Lourdes, France on March 26-27.
