Like the Lisboa Downtown organization had promised, Alfama went crazy over the world’s best Down Hill riders. The event went beyond all expectations and turned the oldest part of the city upside down.
The 15.000 spectators who were in Alfama felt the vibration of the bike that gave the victory to the king of Lisboa Downtown and cheered for the fourth time the rider who claims to have already a portuguese soul running in his blood. Steve Peat never gave a chance to his opponents and left everybody amazed with his technique, his skills and his ability to slide through the narrow streets and nail all the new obstacles of the event
With an amazing 1.31.99, Britain’s Steve Peat of the Orange Team left behind Mick Hannah (1.33.81), Greg Minnaar (1.33.92), David Vazquez (1.34.89) and all the other riders who came to amaze a crowd of both locals and people from around Portugal.
