Overview
- The Red Bull Cerro Abajo urban‑downhill series holds its first German final in Stuttgart on the weekend of 5–6 September on a course that starts in Weißenburgpark and finishes at Wilhelmsplatz.
- The short, fast course drops about 130 metres over 1.2 kilometres and includes staircases, narrow city lines and engineered ramps with jumps and drops up to 15 metres.
- Competition format has 35 starters in a timed qualification with the fastest 15 moving to the final, which rewards clean, error‑free runs where tiny mistakes cost big time.
- Brazilian Roger Vieira leads the season standings with Sebastian Holguin second and local rider Johannes Fischbach third, and Fischbach says he will push for the overall title on home streets; four‑time winner Tomáš Slavík has returned after a knee injury.
- Organizers and the city are promoting public engagement with free spectator access, on‑site video walls and a live broadcast of Sunday’s final on SWR, reflecting the series’ international expansion since 2023 into Europe and beyond.
