Lopes’ first MTB race earned him a name and fifth place. He then went straight to win his first Norba National and never looked back. He has won over 19 titles in his mountain biking career; Nine National Championship titles, six UCI World Cup wins and four UCI Mountain Bike World Champion titles, first in 2001, then again in 2002, 2005 and in 2007.
