New Brasil Ride category in 2019 - Aiming at the exchange between sports related to cycling, the organization of Brasil Ride launched, during the ninth edition, a new category that debuts in the tenth year of the event: Iron Rider. It is a category for athletes who have participated at least twice in long distance triathlon events. "It will be very simple for the athlete to prove his registration in this new category. It will be enough to send us the certificate of completion of two long distance triathlon", said Mario Roma.
"The idea is to bring more people to mountain biking and add to the sport, having even more MTB practitioners. I see that in this case everyone likes to bike and practice sports and so we should be a single community. These triathletes can give their testimony of them in the future, telling us what is more difficult: training and competing in a long distance triathlon or doing the same to compete in the seven days of Brasil Ride ", concluded Roma.
New in the 24h MTB World Championship 2019 - Scheduled to be played for the first time in Brazil next year, the 24h Solo Mountain Bike World Championship 2019, on the 27th and 28th of July, brings a novelty to the national sport.

Overcoming PNE's at Brasil Ride - Brasil Ride showed once again that nothing is impossible when you have willpower. This is the case of the pair formed by Bruno Paim, 19, a cyclist who does not have both arms, and Everson Batista, 35, who has a prosthesis in his left leg. After seven days of competition, Bruno and Everson crossed the finish line of the last stage of the competition and became finishers, with an accumulated time of 38h47min41sec, in the 184th overall position, among the 204 pairs that managed to complete the ultramarathon.
Red Bull Zeroes the Peak - Brasil Ride athletes had an extra motivation in the fourth stage of the race, with 101 km of distance and 2.600 m of accumulated altimetry. The Red Bull Zera o Pico challenge was a mountain prize on the ascent of the Seven Laps, considered the most difficult of all competition. For almost two kilometers, cyclists needed to “zero” the slope, that is, without putting their feet on the ground, being worth the titles for competitors in the professional and amateur categories, male and female. However, the climb was so difficult that no woman managed to zero. The first men were Henrique Avancini and Lucas Gomes, awarded with a special jersey and received on Saturday (27) a special trophy delivered by Red Bull.
