GCN Vs The Red Hook Crit | Fixed Gear Criterium Racing

The Red Hook Crit is arguably the most unique event in cycling at the moment. One gear, no brakes, and super high speeds, we sent James there to see how he'd get on!

The Red Hook Crit began in Brooklyn 10 years ago, and since then has grown across four countries to become one of the most exciting spectacles in sport.

We sent James out to the final Red Hook Crit of the season in Milan to see if he could negotiate the carnage and make it to the epic night time final! James has raced criteriums throughout his career at a really high level, but this was a completely different challenge for him!
