The current Red Bull X-Fighters Champion, Dany Torres, mentioned about the competition level this year:“ As you know, the riders who take part in Red Bull X-Fighters are the best in the world. Anyone could be a surprise but probably the ones who will make it difficult for me in defending my title are Sherwood, Villa and Sheehan“.

The top stars of the scene now hold much-coveted starting places. But even rookies can fly high in the Tour and have the chance of stealing the spotlight.
