Chile is one of the most interesting venues when it comes to urban downhill racing. Not many countries could show off many difficult urban downhill tracks. Chile has other urban downhill races besides famous Valparaiso. One of them takes place in a port city, Coquimbo.
On January 31 racers were prepared to get all the way down to finish line and fight for win.
Coquimbo was not an exception when it came to technically difficult stairs sections.
Many racers put themselves on risk while jumping off the stairs.
Finishing with huge road gap which was the best spot to cheer riders.
Overlooking the whole stairs section from the bottom.
Massive wall ride accelerated racers into the finish line.
