Red Bull Timelaps challenges teams is the world's longest one day road cycling event, taking place the weekend the clocks go back in the UK, making it a grueling 25-hour race against time.
Red Bull Timelaps is the world's longest one-day road race, taking place the weekend the clocks go back one hour in the UK, making it a demanding 25-hour race. And whilst it has some of the characteristics of an endurance race, competitors at the inaugural event soon found out that that each lap was a race itself, meaning riders has to give it their all.
One team taking part was the Tekkerz team, who also filmed this cool video.
This is our first race as a team, team Tekkerz, and if we can get through this we can get through anything
As a newly formed team the first race would be hard enough, but add the elements of wintery weather, deep darkness, oh, and the ultimate test of stamina by racing 25 hours, and the task at hand was a big one.
We have been racing for 25 hours now and we are neck and neck for second place...I just did not think that would happen
The race was strenuous but satisfying – find out how the guys got on in the video above.
