We are back (including Chris) to sit down for a debrief of the 2025 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. From the Mitas Rocket Ride to the two-day high paced prologue and all 27 checkpoints of the main race, we dissect everything that went down at this iconic race. Get the inside scoop on Manuel Lettenbichler’s clinical pace up Carl’s Dinner, Billy Bolt’s lighting‑fast opening sprint and Graham Jarvis proving – yet again – that age is just a number.

But results are only half the story, we also bring you behind the scenes information on small stories that unfolded at this year’s event. Beyond the racing action, we explore what makes Erzberg legendary—the electric festival atmosphere with wild beer tent celebrations. Lastly, we discuss the latest docu-series dropped by Red Bull over the same weekend, a deep dive into the spirit of hard enduro.

We hope you enjoy this episode.
