Red Bull Flying Sprint
Последният 1 километър до хижа Вихрен се превръща в най-бързата отсечка на вело ралито.
Между Red Bull старт арката (1 км преди финала) и финалната линия всеки състезател има една задача – да даде всичко от себе си на финалната права.
Времето на всеки се измерва от старт арката до финала, така че тук не печели този, който води в общото класиране, а този, който лети най-бързо в самия край.
🏆 Награди: отличаваме най-бързите в 4 категории — Елит мъже и Елит жени, в шосейната и планинската надпревара.
