Jetro Salazar is now unstoppable! After bagging national MX2 titles in 2009 and 2010, the rider of team Socopur Racing (named after Motul's importer in Peru) has become the new Latin American MX2 champion, a title awarded by the International Motorcycling Federation.
On his KTM 250 SXF, the Peruvian rider sailed through the meetings in Ecuador (47 pts) and Brazil (36 pts) ahead of the best riders from all Latin America since the 83 points bagged were enough to allow him to take the laurels ahead of Andres Benenaula (Ecuadorian) and Thales Vilardi (Brazilian).
