Nobody wants a fight more than Brandon Semenuk. It’s what he’s about. It’s a competitive streak that made him America’s best rally driver last year. It’s the same one that has led to countless mountain bike titles. Beating the best of the rest is what gets athletes like Subaru’s Canadian star out of bed in the morning.
