After dominating in several categories over the past two years, Jordan Lebel was feeling ready for moguls in his first season in the Pro Lite class. However, Jordan had to overcome adversity due to some injuries. His determination and courage, however, enabled him to get back in the saddle before the end of the season. In his first event, the native of Chicoutimi was involved in a major accident. Result: fractured four vertebrae as well as a laceration to one kidney and spleen. Against all odds, the young prodigy found a way to get back into competition after a month of inactivity. And he won his first final at Fargo in his new category, nothing less!
“Seriously, when I got back on the track, I had no fear,” says the athlete. I was ready to start over. Even though he wasn’t able to be in the action as much as he would have liked, Jordan Lebel is still happy with what he has accomplished this season. He found a way to let all his talent speak for itself and show that he was ready to make the leap to Pro Lite. “
For the time that I’ve been there, it’s been good, admits the man who teams up with Boss Racing. I was the first to have two first positions in Pro Lite. I was ready except I got my back in the first race so I missed three races. In my opinion, it still went well for the three races that I was there. Jordan Lebel, who until recently played in the Sport class, makes no secret of the fact that he likes the level of racing in his new category as athletes spend more time on the track.

“The biggest difference, I would say, is the time you have on the track,” says the racer who has been competing since the age of six. We have a lot more time for finals and qualifying. It’s a lot more fun! The one who wears the 511 plate was unable to complete his schedule due to a broken wrist in three places during practice. Now recovered from this injury, Jordan Lebel intends to take a few days off and then start his preparation again for the next season.
“For next year, I’m just going to practice as much as I have practiced this year to get as close as possible,” insists the young athlete. I think this year I was ready to be able to compete against these guys. I’m just going to work even harder at the start of next winter. To keep fit this summer, Jordan Lebel will get on his bike and ride on provincial and regional tracks. He also plans to do some shopping in the United States just for fun and to see the sponsors who support him.
