Defending The Championship

Robin Larsson will come into the 2023-24 Nitrocross season as reigning champion. This means Larsson will have another thing to think about as he gets into the season. Defending a championship isn’t easy, it’s even harder in Nitrocross. As it is near impossible to not make a mistake and in a spec series one too many mistakes could cost a driver the round. This is something Larsson and every other driver knows too well. Larsson had one of the fewest mistakes last season, and will likely have one of the fewest this season. But only time will tell if that’s true or not.
