Being nominated for Norway’s rider of the year is no small feat, but than add in the fact that Stale is only 16 and you’ll see why he’s made the quick jump on to the Rome team. At 16 Stale already has more style than a lot of seasoned veterans, even getting the nod from one Terje Haakonsen as being the future. Stale is another rider who is the total package, he kills the pipe, putting together runs that often land him in the finals, (no easy task these days), he can throw down on rails, and he’s smooth as hell on jumps. The future has arrived, Stale Sandbech is here.
