The Red Bull Valparaíso Cerro Abajo urban DH race returns in 2024 celebrating 20 years of riders taking on Valparaiso's tight and technical streets. After some nail-biting runs, the results are in from Chile.
Lucas Borba kept a consistent speed across the treacherous steps and loose street corners to take the win. Lucas Borba faced tough competition, but a consistent run kept him ahead of the field as he secured the win at round one of Red Bull's Urban DH race series.
Felipe Agurto was on the hot seat for a long time before being beaten as he was strong in the bottom half of the course, where he was fastest in split three. While Felipe gained time on the race winner at the bottom of the course, he would end the day 0.181 back. Adrien Loron had a great ride to take third place, 1.791 seconds off the winning pace.
It was a tough race for Camilo Sanchez and Tomas Slavik who both suffered mechanicals during their race runs. Johannes Fischbach had a massive crash during his race run and had to be taken off the course by the medical team. We wish Johannes all the best and will provide an update on his condition once we know more. Sebastian Holguín also crashed during his race run after setting rapid times at the top of the course. Thankfully Sebastian was still able to complete his race run.
