Melbourne Super Cross 2012

MUD. SWEAT. FRITES. COWBELLS.
Quite possibly the most entertaining three days of racing Australia has ever seen.

SUNDAY 26 AUGUST
Rapha Super Cross comes to Australia, bringing super-charged cyclocross racing to Melbourne. Spectators can enjoy racing of all abilities; from the best in the land to absolute beginners. The winning combination of beer, pies, frites, DJ’s, live music and cowbells will create the best atmosphere this country has ever seen at a cyclo-cross event.

Entry for spectators is FREE and the race action will be called by the best race commentator in the known world (well, Brunswick). You can also feast on pies, frites and other suitably heartwarming fare. There’s live music from Rapha’s very own race DJ and you can also enjoy a whole load of other stuff (but mainly cowbells).

Keep Cross and Clash On – Melbourne Super Cross

We are stirring things up for Melbourne Super Cross 2012 with our Keep Cross and Clash On challenge.

The premise is simple: celebrate cross and give a nod to the 'race within a race' that we all know goes on, week in and week out.

For the Rapha Super Cross DDCX event, we’ll be running Keep Cross and Clash On by inciting a Naming of your Nemesis.

You know that fellow racer who just pips you at the line each week, and no matter what you do, you are always within a place or two of this person? For Ben Hegerty, his nemesis is of course Dustin Adderley.

So, Sunday 26th August at Harrison St Velodrome, you can visit the Rapha tent, name your nemesis*, and you’ll be awarded a Kill-Sticker.

  • Your nemesis is chosen by you.
  • The naming of your nemesis does not have to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
  • The spirit of the battle is that it’s a close race; choose appropriately.
  • Rapha Kill Stickers are awarded for battling at Rapha Super Cross only.

CLASH ON!
