What a great race to watch live!!
The 2013 edition of Red Bull R.Evolution, the most innovative BMX Race event of the year, took centre stage at Mellowpark in Berlin. In the hotly contested final it was Connor Fields(USA) who took top honours with Renato Rezende (BRA) und Vincent Pelluard (FRA) coming in second and third.
36 athletes from eleven different countries took part in the race. Among them - 30 of the UCI World Ranking’s best riders as well as several Olympic athletes. With leading stars such as last year’s winner Twan van Gendt (NED), Connor Fields (USA), currently third in the World Ranking, and World Championship bronze medal winner Luis Brethauer (GER), it was clearly the BMX elite who had descended upon the German capital for Red Bull R.Evolution.
Every single run was met by enthusiastic fan applause rewarding the riders who relentlessly pulled off tricks such as Backflips and 360s on the gigantic ramps. During the final, the atmosphere reached its climax when the six athletes who had made it to the last round let the breathtaking scene push them even further.
