Here’s the first Red Hook Crit Milano video I’ve found on Vimeo or Youtube that’s worth posting. It catches some spills at that turn everyone was complaining about as well as the final moments in the race, leading up to the finish sprint, which I still haven’t seen any video of. Who’s got it?

So far, these are the best photos I’ve seen from the 2012 Red Hook Crit Milano and they’re really great. See the rest of Marco’s photos here, at his portfolio site!

Stanridge Speed now has two Red Hook Crits under their rider’s bibs. This year in Milano, Evan Murphy took first. See the rest of the results here.

So yeah, the Red Hook Crit Milano sign up came and went (sorry for not posting that up) but a full roster means another packed year with an ever-increasing sense of competition. And with the prizes this year, there’s no wonder people will be gunning for it.

Your guess is as good as mine (if you don’t speak Italian) as to what this guy is saying but since cycling is the universal language, I have a pretty good idea. I can’t wait for the next Red Hook Crit Brooklyn.

I was just ranting on Twitter (hey, it’s what I do best) about how it’s impossible for me to keep on top of emails as of late when I got a follow-up from Carlos Guerra. He emailed me just after I posted up photos of the Red Hook Crit Cinelli Vigorelli, saying it inspired him to model a bike based on Dan’s winning prize. And I blanked on posting it. Dowh! Good thing I can still put it up. Without further adieu, here it is!

Check out a few more below!

It’s about time someone made a 2012 Red Hook Crit video!

Photos by Craig laCourt

As I was going through all my Red Hook Crit photos, I went looking for the portraits that Craig laCourt was taking inside a box truck at the event. So far, these are the only two I can find. The one of Matteo on the left came from his blog and the one on the right, the Red Hook Crit Tumblr. I can’t wait to see the rest because these look amazing.

Edit: check out more here! Thanks Dave!

Lab8 from Milano interviewed Dave Trimble, founder of the world’s best track bike criterium, the Red Hook Crit. Dave talks about the races humble beginnings as a birthday celebration for him, the current state, Dan’s win and where he plans on taking it in the future.

Very nice Dave!

Mash just posted up Ranier’s Red Hook Crit race report. It’s a great read and considering that he beasted it the whole race, bringing in a very respectible 2nd place. Check out the report here at the Mash SF Blog.

The first GoPro footage from the 2012 Red Hook Crit comes from Alex at Thrown Blown with the music selected by Tuesday Teardown PiNP. It’s dark, fast and loose with tunes by Krallice. NYC black metal fits perfectly for NYC track racing. All hail the Necronomicog!
