The high level of competition is responsible for the rising level of difficulty. With such a high class starterfield, there is a lot of pressure on the favorites. If you're up front make even the smallest mistake, there will be immediately another top rider on hand to take advantage of your situation. Furthermore, the difficulty of the track is constantly increasing from the start to the finish line., Erzbergrodeo Mastermind Karl Katoch describes the unique characteristics of the Red Bull Hare Scramble.
For the anniversary edition of Red Bull Hare Scramble, the number of checkpoints that have to be passed will be increased from 20 to 24.
Track manager Hans Werth explains: The track length will stay pretty much the same as last year, but the increased number of checkpoints in combination with our new Live-Timing will offer even more excitement for the viewers of the Live-TV broadcast hosted by ServusTV. Fans will be able to see how close the riders are fighting for each positions as well as follow riders catching up to the leading group even better.
