Red Bull Hill Chasers
18.02.2012

It's uphill all the way this weekend as 32 cyclists take to the streets of Bristol for Red Bull Hill Chasers. Park Street in the heart of Bristol will be the venue as cyclists come together in an attempt to settle the fierce debate of which kind of bike is best uphill.

Red Bull Hill Chasers takes place on the famous Bristol street starting at 7pm on Saturday February 18th.

16 invited elite and 16 amateur cyclists from BMX, mountain bike, road cycling and fixed-gear compete in a series of gruelling head-to-head knock-out rounds on the unforgiving incline.  Riders will be paired randomly giving amateur riders the chance to compete against the elite. Look out for some big name competitors!

A knockout format will halve the field – until just two riders remain for the ultimate showdown. This year, the course has been shortened and pinch points added to suit the race equally to all disciplines.

One of the elite competitors, Multi World Champion, and Red Bull Athlete, Michal Prokop said: "I'm really looking forward to this unique race and am flying over to the UK especially for it. I have never seen anything like it. It's great that enthusiasts can compete side by side against top pros from different disciplines."
