The Red Bull X-Fighters returns to the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventasin Madrid for an action-packed freestyle motocross showcase.
The following is from the promoters of the Red Bull X-Fighters freestyle motocross show:
The world’s most prestigious Freestyle Motocross event celebrates its 15th anniversary in Spain´s capital.
The pressure will be squarely on Tom Pagès’ slender shoulders at the Red Bull X-Fighters extravaganza at the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas when the fabulous Frenchman will attempt to win in Madrid against past champions such as Clinton Moore (AUS), Dany Torres (ESP) and Levi Sherwood (NZL) for a record fourth straight year. Pagès, who already carved his name into the record books with his third consecutive win in the Spanish capital last year, will be back in town on June 24 trying to win the 2016 Red Bull X-Fighters title at Madrid’s 15 years anniversary with the leaps of up to 30 meters in distance and 15 meters high on his motorcycle once again after recording stylish victories in front of the frenzied and knowledgeable crowds in the bullring in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
But Pagès, who just claimed the gold medal during X Games’ Best Quarterpipe competition will be in for the fight of his life against the reigning champion Clinton Moore. The Australian ace will be back in action in Madrid after a brilliant 2015 season, in which he won three of the five stops. Moore also came out on top of Pagès in their pressure-packed showdown for the 2015 championship at the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
The sport’s two aces, along with 10 other top riders, will have plenty of new tricks up their sleeves for the eagerly awaited Red Bull X-Fighters event in Madrid, which has traditionally been the venue for the world’s most breathtaking FMX stop for 15 straight years. Madrid has been the stop where riders have introduced pioneering new gravity-defying tricks. Pagès said he has developed a new Front Flip Flair especially for Madrid.
