The course goes from Cerro Carcel to Plaza Anibal with jumps, drops, over 100 stair steps and finish line reminiscent of a football stadium. Practice and the race were held on Sunday, when the racers made their way down the course for the first time. Chris Van Dine led a strong group of North American riders and showed how experience pays off by qualifying first unfortunately CVD suffered a mechanical during his final run. World Cup racers Andrew Neethling and Filip Polc were eager to put on a good show. For Neethling the day would end in qualifying after he crashed early in his run. Polc qualified in the top ten and took his spot on the hot seat after his final run. Chilean racer Enrique Genova put together an amazing final run to take second place behind Polc. For Polc winning VCA extended his streak of urban downhill race wins that include wins in Colombia,and Brazil.
