In a year that Burry Stander plans to focus on the shorter, more intense cross-country discipline ahead of the Olympics, he once again showed his versatility in ousting Evans in the final dash at the second leg of the SA National Marathon series in Tulbagh.
Clearly it's not about the bike. Armstrong took the lead on the run leg of the Ironman 70.3 triathlon in Panama yesterday but was overtaken in the closing kilometres to finish second.
"Magical", "technical", "intimate", "gourmet food", a "real mountain biker's race" were just some of the adjectives used by the winners to describe the inaugural Ride The Rock Stage Race. Did you do the race? What did you think?
It was the first round of the SA Cross-Country (XCO) National Series in Cape Town this weekend. In an year where Burry has made an Olympic medal a priority, he proved the few changes he's made to his nutrition, training and his bike are paying off.
Even though he wasn't feeling 100%, Mark Cavendish took his first victory for Team Sky at the third stage of the Tour of Qatar ahead of Belgian Tom Boonen. SA's Robbie Hunter still in 6th position overall.
South African Robbie Hunter's team Garmin-Barracuda won Monday’s second stage of the Tour of Qatar, placing Hunter sixth on the general classification.
