The Cobble Wobble
17.12.2012

200 competitors across 5 disciplines braved the difficult conditions and set blistering times up the 170 yard cobbled street. A decidedly slippery course proved technically challenging which meant that riders had to use all of their skills to negotiate the 1000s of cobbles lining the street.

The Charge King of the Cobbles saw a number of high profile riders competing including Red Bull athletes Kye Forte, Dan Atherton and Michal Prokop and Charge team rider Chris Metcalfe. The level of athletes meant that amateur competitors had to produce their best riding in order to have a chance of finishing on the podium. The top 20 riders qualified for the King of the Cobbles Final.

Two times defending champion Lewis Lacey was no match for three times World Champion and Red Bull athlete Michal Prokop from Czech Republic. Michal’s explosive power saw him crowned King of the Cobbles 2012 with a blistering time of 22.966 bumping Lacey into 2nd place.
