The Colombian MTB star remained undefeated, celebrating both the race victory as well as the overall series title.
Guanajuato, Mexico – Riders were pushed to their absolute limits as they went all-in for victory in the final race of the Red Bull Cerro Abajo 2024/2025 series. Throughout the season, the historical cities of Genoa (ITA), Valparaíso (CHL) and Guanajuato have all hosted the world’s best riders who have raced full throttle down the narrowest city streets, the steepest staircases, in front of the wildest crowds – in the ultimate urban downhill race series.
In Mexico, it was Juanfer Vélez who came out victorious, scoring a hat-trick by winning the overall series three consecutive times now. His run in the Guanajuato finals was fastest on all four intermediate time splits, completing a perfect race for the Colombian.
A fellow Colombian rider Sebastian Holguin achieved a podium finish by coming second in both the Guanajuato race and overall series – already setting his sights towards the new Red Bull Cerro Abajo season, hungry for his first victory. The 3rd place in the final race of the season went to Brazilian Roger Vieira.
The end of the season standings was a close call for the Czech 4 x World Champion Thomas Slavik who came a narrow second in the overall series – with only two points separating him from Vélez.
The new season of Red Bull Cerro Abajo starts in August from Genoa, Italy.
