Valparaiso (Chile) – The World Heritage Site saw 40 international athletes compete in a spectacular urban downhill race –celebrating it’s 15th anniversary– negotiating some of the most testing corners round the cobbled streets and stairs along the 1.8km course in the coastal port.
It was a record time in the 15th staging of the event, where Slavik clocked a time of two minutes 48.48 seconds to win by just over two seconds from British Bernard Kerr (2:50:56) followed by local favorite Pedro Ferreira (2:52:52), who won the support of the audience.
“I’m stoked. After four years of racing Red Bull Valparaiso Cerro Abajo, I did it. It was a great experience to race against these riders in this beautiful location”, said Slavik. “I would definitely come next year and I would tell other International riders to come and live this event”.
