Het wachten op goede wind is nu echt begonnen in Zuid-Afrika. Van Kevin hebben we al vernomen dat ie vd week zijn enkel/iets bij zijn enkel heeft gebroken en dus is Antonin Rangin aangewezen als zijn vervanger. Niet getreurd, genoeg Nederlandse riders over om te titel over te nemen van Aaron Hadlow
Weer update:
Event status: Stand By
Weather Caution/Warning: None
Winds on Saturday will not be strong enough for the event or sustained for long enough. At the moment we do not see anything suitable until Tuesday 24th and or Wednesday 25th, but we are still too far to lockdown an official call.
As it stands we will not be running the event this weekend as the window period opens.
We have also a few changes in the line-up for this year’s event:
Marc Jacobs (NZL) is no longer able compete and has been replaced by Stuart Downey (RSA).
Although hopeful that his luck would turn in the last couple of weeks, 2013’s Red Bull King of the Air Champion Jesse Richman (USA) unfortunately is injured and will be replaced by Graham Howes (RSA).
As with previous years, we’ll be sure to send you a daily weather update and confirm when we’re likely to run the event with 48 hour and 24 hour warnings.
A reminder that this year’s Red Bull King of the Air will be live on Red Bull TV so you can tune in to all the action if you can’t be with us on the beach:
