Filip: “After the urban downhill in Brazilian Santos I had the last event on my winter tour schedule.
Valparaiso – Chile
Maybe some of you remember that I won last year addition and I describe the track as one of the hardest, longest and sketchiest of all urban tracks. You need to show your skills on dirt, stairs, wooden obstacles and add some pedal strokes too. This year the organizer invited the past 4 winners of this race here in Valpo. Cedric Gracia(France), Mario Jarrin (Equador), Antonio Leiva (Chile) and me (winner 2010). This guarantied good fight in-between us.
After few practice runs there was the semifinal run on. Top 30 riders heading to finals. I had nice run and I tried to save some power . Cedric won by 2 seconds ahead of me. So the time to beet was 1min42s.
I was trying to thing about where to cut some time off and pedal more. After my bad luck and crash in Santos race in Brasil 2 weeks ago I didn’t want to end up like that again. I decide to stay with safe run, not to risk and pedal hard… it worked out good as a second last rider on the track I set up new best time 1min39s. Cedric wasn’t able to brake this time up and pull 1min41s. Mario Jarrin (winner of Santos) on 3dr spot.
After I realized that I was really stoked and that I broke the bad luck from previous races.
The atmosphere in Valpo was incredible. More than 10.000 people covering whole track a cheering hardest as they could. Almost braking the fences and the security had hard time to stop them, It was like on football match! Really intense!”

The 2010 is just on and Filip releases a pretty cool video profile of him with late 09 and brand new 2010 footage of his races in overseas…
