It’s finally here, the first round of the UCI World Cup in Pietermaritzburg. Yesterday was the start of the festivities and a chance for all the riders to check out the Downhill course.
There have been a few changes to the course this year, namely an extension to the rock gardens at the top of the course amongst others. Resident Hubber, Nigel Hicks was to thank for all of it.
