The dust is settling at 2025 Red Bull Hardline Wales, what a race it was with two firsts for the winners and only flats for those who didn’t get down the hill.
We’ve come a long old way from riders surviving Red Bull Hardline to a proper race. Louise Ferguson’s full run yesterday and today was another marker of that. Women’s downhill is going off and we’re here for it.
Asa Vermette became the youngest winner at a Red Bull Hardline event by winning both seeding and finals. He’d pip local legend Charlie Hatton to the win by just under two seconds, with the Atherton Racing star besting his seeding by one place.
Ronan Dunne put a flat in seeding behind him to finish third. Hopefully that’s his run of bad luck out of the way and he can get back to winning races. Tuhoto-Ariki Pene finished off a strong weekend in fourth with a battered and bruised Bernard Kerr in fifth.
