With a record number of applicants from 28 different countries, the committee had no easy task assessing who would be on the Red Bull X-Alps startline on July 23rd in Krippenstein (Dachstein range), Austria.
Organisers would like to extend their gratitude to the significant interest shown in the event by the athletes and invite all those who were unsuccessful to re-apply for future editions of the event.
The selected teams will also be announced on the revamped www.redbullxalps.com website, which will be launched on February 15th.
Many extra functions of the site will be added as race-day approaches including an updated Live Tracking feature, which proved highly popular during the 2005 Red Bull X-Alps. Stay tuned for more information on www.redbullxalps.com!
