19th May is the date, the Red Bull Flamenco 2011 event will go down in Malaga. The rider list has already got people talking. Jesse Puente, Matthias, Moto, Ikeda , Sam Foakes, Guelo, Camilo and Viki Gomez!!!

Putting two and two together, but is this connected to the “Flatland United” thread a few weeks back, over the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about getting Flatland into the Dew Tour. Dennis McCoy was even at the Jomopro last year to check out how the flatland ran. Word since seems to have gone quiet, until I saw this petition late last night. Take a moment of your time, to sign the petition, and have your say!
