About: They come from all over the world, regardless of profession and age, factory riders as well as amateurs and hobbyists, and they all have two things in common; They're tough and they have one main opponent, The Iron Giant.

Hollywood would struggle to provide more thrill and suspense. 1500 competitors fighting for 500 starting positions. Amateurs and high-profile superstars rubbing shoulders side-by-side at the starting line. The Iron Road Prologue is the first challenge of the Erzbergrodeo, and only the best survive the pressure to give it all within less than 15 minutes of going wide open on a gnarly gravel racetrack.

These chosen riders have to possess a lethal mix of stamina, courage and riding skills to remain victorious in their struggle against the Iron Giant. That mix and these riders are at the very heart and soul of the Erzbergrodeo. The more they are tortured and humiliated, the more enthusiastically they spread the story of their encounter with this, the toughest single day race in the world. Only real men take up this challenge with the Giant showing no mercy.
