Red Bull Road Rage: Myles Rockwell remporte les deux courses
par A.P. » Dim Nov 06, 2005 12:04 pm
Myles Rockwell a gagné les étapes de Time Trial et de 4-Men au Red Bull Road Rage le 5 novembre 2005. En général, les représentants de vélo de montagne ont vraiment fait très bonne figure.
Il s'agissait certainement là d'un des concepts de course de vélo le plus débile jamais imaginé. Allez-voir les détails sur
. En gros, c'est une course de DH sur route avec des professionnels de la route et de la montagne. Skinsuit, full-face, slick tires are mandatory!
Allez voir la gallerie de photo sur Transcend Magazine:
J'adore le concept!
Les résultats:
Time Trial:
1- Myles Rockwell (mtb)
2- David McCook (route)
3- Brian Lopes (mtb)
Pack Race (4 men)
1- Myles Rockwell (mtb)
2- Eric Carter (mtb)
3- John Wike (route)

assez cool come course!
c'est l'fun de voir une compagnie comme redbull réinventer et pousser les limites des sports qu'il commandites!

L'axe 15mm est la meilleur solution a un problème qui n'existait pas.

Article intéressant de velonews.com:
Quelques extraits:
"Chief among the surprises was the sizzling performance by 2000 world downhill champ Rockwell, who cleaned house in both events. The pre-race hype touted the descending skills of 2005 four-cross world champ Brian Lopes, roadie David Clinger, and Olympic gold medalist Marty Nothstein, but Rockwell left them all behind. And it wasn't so much what he did, but how he did it. Though the majority of riders opted for specialty machinery, including disc brakes, fatter tires and aero wheels, Rockwell rode an aged stock Giant TCR with blown-out bald tires and a pair of wheels fit for training rides."
"I've been making mistakes and learning from my mistakes and trying to start over in life," said Rockwell, who works as a woodworker in Durango, Colorado. "I don't take things for granted any more. I ride once a week now. I did about three spin classes to train for this race. I don't get to ride as much because I get home from work and have a two-and-a-half-year-old son to hang out with. Priorities change, you know."
"The majority of the mountain-bikers at the race rode some sort of converted mountain frame, which proved handy in the course's tight off-camber turns. Unfortunately, the long straightaway at the base of the descent did not favor this design; the mountain bikes lost crucial time there. Perhaps this is why only two athletes on mountain bikes scored podium finishes.
Still, in the much-hyped battle between the mountain and road bikers, the mountain bikers won a decisive victory. Of the five athletes to stand on the podium, Rockwell, Lopes and Carter all boast a mountain-bike background, with Wike and McCook representing the road crowd.

Il y a 3 petits films enregistrés par un téléphone cellulaire sur le site du magazine Decline:
La qualité est so-so...mais ça donne une idée de la vitesse. Ça roule en maudit!
