This year’s Red Bull Last Stand criterium bike race took place last week. In the great state of Texas, more than 200 riders raced around the Alamo for the third year in a row. The race is known for being a classic crit race, where men ride 50 laps and women ride 30, all while hitting speeds upward of 30 miles per hour. The race has a unique twist — the rider in last place each lap is dropped, until just one remains, winning $5,000.
We caught up racers Austin Horse, Jake Magee and James DuBois to hear what gear and apparel they used for the race. DuBois finished fifth in the Men’s Fixed Gear Division and is a San Antonio native. Magee is an Australian who calls Colorado home, riding for the Aventon Factory team. This year he won the Double Down award — given to the rider who competed in both Fixed and Geared divisions — and had the most combined laps completed.
