Endurocross
The action-loaded side event celebrated it's return to the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo Arena.
In
2007 a young polish amateur called Taddy Blazusiak excited thousands of
spectators at the Erzbergrodeo XIII Endurocross side event and grabbed a
well deserved first row starting spot in the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo.
The rest is history...
Eligible to participate are all riders who have registered for the Erzbergrodeo .
All
participants of the Erzbergrodeo Endurocross will compete on electric
powered KTM Freeride E-XC motorcycles, which will be entirely supplied
by KTM. All riders will therefore compete on completely identical
material, which will add even more excitement to the race.
The Red Bull Erzbergrodeo Endurocross will take place on a specifically built
Endurocross track within the newly designed Actionzone inside the
Erzbergrodeo Arena. The offroad parcours will feature several obstacle
sections which have to be absolved by each competitor (no chicken
lines!). The level of difficulty will be tuned according to the
performance of the KTM Freeride E-XC and will provide maximum riding fun
for each skilled Enduro rider.
The participation in the
Erzbergrodeo Endurocross is only allowed by wearing complete protective
gear. That means: solidly closed helmet with chin guard, eye protection,
gloves, Motocross boots, knee and elbow protectors, chest protector
with back protection. Each participant is solely responsible for his/her
protective gear and its functionality.
Each registered
participant of the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo Endurocross has the possibility to ride
one timed lap on the Endurocorss racetrack in each qualifying session.
During the qualifying sessions riders will start one by one, time
keeping will be evaluated by light barrier.
After the
last qualifying session on saturday, only the fastest 48 riders of all
qualifying sessions will be eligible to compete in the Endurocross
Superfinals on saturday evening. Those 48 competitors will also have to
have reached a Top-500 score in the final results of the Blaklader Iron
Road Prologue and therefore have to be qualified for the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. The starting list for the Endurocross Superfinals will be
available at the Erzbergrodeo race office.
The Endurocross Superfinals will feature 6 riders in each heat. The Top-3 of each heat will proceed further to the next round:
Pre-Runs: 8 heats with each 6 competitors
Quarterfinals: 4 heats with each 6 competitors
Semifinals: 2 heats with each 6 competitors
Finals: 1 heat with 6 competitors
The Top-3 competitors of the ENDUROCROSS will be each rewarded with a first row starting spot for the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo - provided that these riders have registered for the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo and have qualified themselves amongst the Top-500 of the Iron Road Prologue!
