Chilean rider Paz Gallo made history in Stuttgart by winning the inaugural women’s race of the Cerro Abajo World Series, edging out Germany’s Nina Hoffmann by just 0.12 seconds on Sunday.

**Urban downhill action in Stuttgart**

The season finale transformed the German city's streets into a high-speed obstacle course, replacing dirt trails with stairs, asphalt, and custom ramps. Six elite riders contested the women's event, navigating the urban terrain before Gallo secured the inaugural women's world title.

In the men’s competition, Spain’s Alex Marin completed the 1,200-meter track in one minute, 44.03 seconds to claim the race victory. He edged Brazilian Roger Vieira by just 0.05 seconds, though Vieira’s consistent season earned him the overall world series title.
