A front wheel sliding off a step or a foot slipping at a jump take-off, and the next stop is a wall or a railing. Collarbone, wrist, concussion: medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including scans, surgery and a hospital stay in Genoa.
After a heavy crash, leaving a city centre packed with spectators takes real organisation. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost cover evacuation from the course to hospital, then your journey home, whether you live in Italy, France or on another continent.
For a pro rider, Genoa is one stop in a season full of downhill and urban races. The Competition option covers the official race and all your competitions across the season, while training sessions between events stay covered too.
Urban downhill combines high speed with hard obstacles, so serious injuries to the spine, knee or head are a real risk. If lasting effects remain once your condition has stabilised, the permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 is paid according to the assessed rate.
The course strings together narrow steps, right-angle turns, cobbles polished smooth over centuries and jumps built for the day. One wrong line puts a rider into a wall or a barrier. Late June heat, the adrenaline of the crowd and repeated practice runs also wear down forearms and focus.
Between events, a downhill rider's season plays out in bike parks, in the mountains and on race tracks. Dedicated downhill mountain bike insurance covers you at every session, in training and in races, at home and abroad, with the same guarantees for medical care, assistance and disability.
Red Bull Genova Cerro Abajo brings the urban downhill format to Genoa: a course drawn through the old town, between stairways, alleys and ramps. Reserved for top-level riders, it draws a large crowd that follows each run up close.
Organising an urban downhill or a gravity mountain bike round? We insure all your riders under a single policy. Our medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, throughout the event. Repatriation is included, anywhere in the world. We can also become a partner or sponsor of your race.
Yes. Reconnaissance and practice on the course fall under the same guarantees as the race. A crash on a sighting run the day before, or that same morning, is handled just like an accident in competition.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence. A rider from South America, northern Europe or France gets the same guarantees during the event and for any repatriation that follows.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance: neither your trip to Genoa, your accommodation nor any entry fee is refunded. The policy covers the consequences of a bodily accident, nothing more.
Impacts with hard obstacles dominate: broken collarbones and wrists, sprains, concussions. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000 and the disability capital can reach €200,000 if lasting effects remain.
The amount depends on your profile and the guarantees you choose, including the Competition option you need to race. The online quote gives you the exact price before you sign up, in a few minutes.
