Red Bull Erzbergrodeo 2022: the rider registration for the World Xtreme Enduro Supreme kicks off on December 6th 2021!
From June 16th to 19th 2022, Red Bull Erzbergrodeo gathers the world’s elite riders in motorcycle offroad racing at Erzberg, right in the very heart of Austria. After a 2 years break due to COVID-19, thousands of ambitious Extreme Enduro athletes are eager to secure one of the much sought after entry spots and to finally challenge the iconic “Iron Giant” again.
„Our preparations for the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo are already in full swing. After this long break we are really looking forward to welcome athletes from all over the world at Erzberg and make the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo the epicentre of the international Extreme Enduro family again!”, Red Bull Erzbergrodeo race promotor and Mastermind Karl Katoch describes the ongoing progress of preparations for the World Xtreme Enduro Supreme. The entire region around Eisenerz and Vordernberg will turn into a true motorsports Hot-Spot for one week in the middle of June 2022.
Red Bull Erzbergrodeo rider registraion kicks off on December 6th 2021
The very first "race" of the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo traditionally starts in front of the computer screens as ambitious Enduro athletes try to get hold of one of the 1500 entry spots available. The online rider registration will kick off on Monday, December 6th 2021, 9:00 CET at redbullerzbergrodeo.com and appears to be the first hurdle for thousands of dirtbikers – due to the COVID-19 related cancellations of the 2020 and 2021 editions the run for the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo entries is expected to be massive!
New track layouts and World Championship status
Despite the COVID-19 situation, the ongoing ore mining and further technical modernisations have significally changed the face of the iron mountain since 2019. “Our first track inspections during the summer have shown that we need to add new track sections for both the Blakläder Iron Road Prologue as well as for the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo.”, Karl Katoch explains.
At the Blakläder Iron Road Prolog more than 1500 riders take on the challenge to fight the gnarly gravel racetrack up to the Erzberg’s peak. On two days of racing, riders have the chance to burn their fastest possible run time into the Iron Giant. Only the 500 fastest riders qualify to participate in the Grande Finale of Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. “The basic characteristic of the Prologue’s racetrack stays the same, but we will add some new benches to the track for 2022. High speed racing and perfect riding technique in the turns will once again determine who’s winning or losing.”, Red Bull Erzbergrodeo track manager Wolfgang Thaller describes the challenges of the spectacular qualifying race.
On Sunday, the 500 qualified starters will be served with the true highlight of the weekend. The Red Bull Erzbergrodeo is worldwide regarded as the toughest and most prestigious race of the Hard Enduro calendar, with only a handful of riders reaching the finish line after a grueling 4 hours of intense racing. “The 2022 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo racetrack will be a real highlight in it’s 26 years of history. Both skill level and difficulty level remain unchanged, but we will add some new challenges to the more than 35 kilometers long track. Only the best of the best will reach the finish, the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will remain a real test of mental strength, riding skills and endurance for the competitors.”, Katoch states.
Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will finally be a part of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship in 2022, adding some major uproar to the series. Next year the World Championship calendar features 9 spectacular Hard Enduro races in Israel, Serbia, Austria, Italy, Romania, the USA, Canada, Poland and Spain. Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will also be broadcasted Live on Red Bull TV and ServusTV in 2022.
