6-20-07 // Events: Qashqai Challenge Finals In Paris
One month ago four cities across Europe: Newcastle, Milan, Madrid and Colgne, played host to the first-ever urban freeride series event complete with big-money sponsors and some of the most notorious names in dirt jump, freeride and street mountain bike riding. Now after a four-week hiatus, the riders are rested and ready to come together once again for the Qashqai Challenge finals in Paris, France, on June 22nd and 23rd.
La Villette in Paris will be the location for the last stop of the 2007 Qashqai series, which brought out some of the most amazing riding of the year. The riders have been showing their hardest tricks at each stop of the tour and Paris will be no different.
In addition to the prize money for the winners of the Paris stop of the Qashqai Urban Challenge, the overall prize money for the top 5 riders of 100,000 Euros will be also given out after the event. The top three riders Paul Basagoitia, Darren Berrecloth and Lance McDermott are very close in the overall standings to the first prize of 50,000 euros, but anything could happen as riders compete for the podium in Paris.
