Opis tekmovanja

Četrta izvedba tekmovanja Matadown: adrenalinski in spektakularen dogodek v prelepi dolini reke Nadiže. Tekmovanje Matadown bo potekalo s skupinskim štartom na trasi dolgi 12,5km z 1500 višinskimi metri razlike. Trasa poteka sredi travnikov in gozdov, ter ponuja izjemne razglede. “Mata” ni lahko downhill tekmovanje,temveč izraža duh enduro tekmovanja s poudarkom na vzdržljivosti. Trasa se začne na skalnatem odseku, ki velja za zelo zahtevnega, katerega bodo lahko prevozili le najboljši. Kmalu za tem se trasa razširi in ponuja več priložnosti za prehitevanja, kjer pride do izraza pravilna izbira linij in pa sposobnost vzdrževanja hitrosti. Bistveni del trase poteka po enoslednicah skozi gozdičke, kjer kolesarje čakajo številni tehnični odseki in kratki vzponi vse do cilja.
