He recently won the 2026 Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajo, an urban downhill race through Genova, Italia, sealing wins in back-to-back years.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t just that Vieira won back-to-back Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajos, the footage you are about to see shows just how insanely technical, fast, and physics-defying of a run this was.<\/p>\n<p>Roger Vieira Wins 2026 Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajo With Fastest Downhill Mountain Bike Run Ever<\/p>\n<p>Red Bull Bike published helmet camera footage from Roger Vieira\u2019s run at the Genova Cerro Abajo last week with a classic YouTube attention-grabbing headline of \u201cThe Fastest Downhill Run Ever | POV.\u201d What, am I not going to click that? I\u2019m no better than anyone else when it comes to falling for attention-grabbing headlines even if I\u2019ve been writing them myself for my entire adult life.<\/p>\n<p>So I click, expecting to be wowed, but I did not expect Roger\u2019s ride from the Genova Cerro Abajo to be one of the sickest <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/tag\/mountain-biking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">mountain biking<\/a> runs I\u2019ve ever seen in my entire life, and <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/2019-red-bull-rampage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">I\u2019ve been to the Red Bull Rampage<\/a> before! Roger\u2019s winning time of 2:33.971 beat out Johannes Fischbach (Germany) who finished second with a time of 2:39.108. I\u2019m fairly confident I only blinked twice in the two-and-a-half minutes of this footage. Check it out:<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, Roger Vieira won the 2025 Genova Cerro Abajo in a time of 2:37.798. So he shaved just about 4 seconds off his winning time from last year en route to a course record. On top of that, he beat second place\u2019s time from last year and he shaved multiple seconds off his qualification time of 2:36.735.<\/p>\n<p>From I\u00e7ara, Brasil, Roger is now the 2025 and 2026 Genova Cerro Abajo champ. He is also the 2024 Brazil National Champion in addition to winning 18 World Cup races so far in his career.
