  • Story Text:talian Stefano Passeri has won the fifth running of
    the spectacular Erzberg Rodeo "Red Bull Hare Scramble".

    Over a thousand participants took part in the event to
    master the 1000 metre high Ore Mountain which dominates the
    beautiful Erzberg region.

    A mass start kicked off the first day of competition where
    1000 riders lined up in rows of ten for an attempt to catapult
    themselves along the 30 kilometre track to the top of the
    mountain.

    The best 500 riders on the first day qualified for the
    final of which 48 reached the final checkpoint and only 25
    reached the top.

    In a race against time, endurance and a constant fight
    against the rocks and dust of the Ore Mountain, Passeri
    reached the top in the quickest time.Spaniard Juan Roma
    finished second with Italian Giovanni Sala third.

    The top six places were taken by KTM riders.
