    About this Video
    Slovakia’s Filip Polc took top honours in the Red Bull Desafio no Morro, an amazing downhill mountain bike competition inside a favela (shanty town) of Rio de Janeiro. Polc’s best time of 1:39.91 down 760 meters of favela alleys and staircases was enough to edge Brazilian Markolf Berchtold by 1.5s. Britain’s Dan Atherton completed the podium in third place having watched brother Gee suffer a flat rear tyre halfway through the course.
