Rockstar Games is proud to announce the
return of the Red Hook Criterium Championship Series in 2016. Now
in its 9th year, the Red Hook Crit is the world's premier track
bike Criterium series with four spectacular events scheduled in
Brooklyn, London, Barcelona and Milan.
"This year is shaping up to be the most dramatic championship
yet as the field of international athletes continues to
grow,” said David Trimble, Series Director. “The level of
competition in the Crit has never been higher, which means we are
in for increasingly exciting and unpredictable races. I can’t wait
to see who emerges victorious.”
From its roots in the neighborhood of Red Hook in Brooklyn, New
York the race has flourished and expanded over the years - first to
Milan, which has become the host city of the championship finale
and then to Barcelona, now enjoying its fourth year on the roster.
London makes its return this year after its debut in 2015.
The Red Hook Criterium series is unique in that it requires
athletes to race multiple laps around a 1km (approx.)
technical circuit on brakeless, fixed gear track bikes. Taking
cues from international motorsport, athletes begin by competing in
timed qualification rounds to establish grid positions for the main
event. The finals, traditionally raced at night, are held in front
of thousands of spectators at each destination.
Athletes accumulate points for finishing each race, traveling
from one city to the next, vying for a position on the championship
podium. With the continued, four-race schedule, riders will need to
perform consistently if they are to contend for the series trophy
with each race bringing its own dynamic throughout the season. 2015
Men’s Series Champion Ivan Ravaioli (Team Cinelli Chrome, Italy)
and Women’s Series Champion Ainara Elbusto (Conor WRC, Spain) will
both return in 2016 to defend their titles but ambitious newcomers,
including pro rider Daniel Holloway (Intelligentsia GR, USA)
and his team will be looking to make an impact throughout the
series.
The Red Hook Criterium Race Series has grown year on year since
its inception in 2008, bringing global media attention, big crowds
and increased interest from series sponsors. In 2016, The Red Hook
Criterium, having already established firm roots in the cycling
community, is ready to move forward again as one of the most
compelling, competitive, spectator friendly sporting events in the
world.
2016 SCHEDULE:
- April 30: Red Hook Criterium Brooklyn,
NY, USA;
- July 9: Red Hook Criterium London,
UK;
- August 27: Red Hook Criterium
Barcelona, Spain;

2016 welcomes new major sponsors to the championship series
including Specialized – who have generously offered to provide the
season’s prize bikes.
A strong list of supporting series sponsors in 2016 include
Specialized, Giro, Castelli, Intelligentsia, Levi’s Commuter, Fast
Forward Wheels, and Tacx
UK partners Knight Dragon and Face Partnerships return to the
