Making a return for the second year running, Red Bull Hardline Tasmania has cemented itself as one of the premier downhill events of the season. And 2025's show didn't hold back with the Canadians taking home wins while other hopefuls crashed out in the practice sessions prior.

With TNT raising the prices of its bike racing coverage, it's up to Red Bull to step up to the plate, showing its home-made brand of mountain biking for free. With Red Bull Rampage being the absolute pinnacle of freeride, Red Bull Hardline looks set to take the place of the downhill event.

However, Hardline turns things up to 11. With a course built in the Dyfi Valley in Wales, designed by none other than Dan Atherton, last year the event stretched its wings, with a second race held in Tasmania. Last weekend, the second Red Bull Hardline Tasmania took place and it wasn't one for the faint-hearted.
Only the very best receive an invite to race Hardline with a few Hardline stalwarts returning again for this leg. Josh Bryceland, Charlie Hatton, and Bernard Kerr were just a few of the Brits who took part. But with a double-race lockout last year, all eyes were on Ronan Dunne, though due to one of the worst crashes of the weekend, the Irishman was out of the running for race day.

After a near-perfect, dialed-in run, young Canadian, Jackson Goldstone took the win and redemption after a season-ending crash last year. Asa Vermette took second with Bernard Kerr following in third.
As for the women, Hardline Tasmania was one for the history books with Canadian Gracey Hemstreet coming first at the first-ever women's podium at a Hardline event. A crash for fellow qualifier Erice Van Leuven ended her race during a practice run ahead of the main event.
