William’s winning time for the 55km race was 2 hours 04 minutes and 55 seconds. Platt finished second with Andrew McLean (Toyota Cyclelab) third.

 

Nic White (Toyota CSA u23 team mentor) finished fourth on a single speed bike. Dylan Rebello (ASG Eagle Canyon) was the first junior to finish.

Think this is super cool! Pretty impressive win and nice for a youngster to win against the favourite.

 

Think this guy should give up optom and go into professional cycling. Nedbank 360 is short of a rider....

Clearly Plattos didn't have a chip

 

PS: I see they changed Usher's name on the results. Irritates me when the rules go out the window. No wonder cycling is such a mess.

Lol @ German.... I think flirting in German is more of a disadvantage, not the most sexy sounding language in the world...
