Red Bull Mini Drome Vancouver 2012

On September 8, 2012, the Vancouver bike community gathered at the CBC Building for Red Bull Mini Drome, the ultimate arena to showcase one’s cycling skills. The first stop of three Canadian events brought speed, balance, and bravado together on the world's smallest velodrome to give competitors the most challenging and treacherous ride of their lives, with speeds reaching up to 50km/h on the tiny track. Cyclists took their street skills to the track, which was specifically built for the event, in a test of mental stamina, technical precision, and raw strength. In the end it was Patrick McManus who was crowned champion of the 2012 Vancouver edition in front of Adrian Janzen (second place finisher) and Justin Soareas (third place finisher).


Results:

1. Patrick McManus
2. Adrian Janzen
3. Justin Soares


About Red Bull Mini Drome:

From its roots in New Zealand, several Red Bull Mini Drome events have taken place around the world including London, Mexico, Estonia, Poland, and for the first time in the United States last August. "Mini" means a very small version of its kind” and “drome” is a place to run or compete. These two definitions summarize the concept of Red Bull Mini Drome - the world’s smallest velodrome to race in solo and duel. The track is seven meters wide, four meters long, and 3.5 meters high at both ends and is built of plywood.
