are we going to have some local world champs today?

[MuddyMike]

Just thinking, will these winners ride in UCI world champ stripes next year? Or is that only reserved for the elites?

They get the stripes

[Khoisan]

Ann, first Lady to win for SA

[Mackie]

correct, all of them will have to wear them at every XCO race they enter

What a chore, to HAVE to wear the rainbow stripes :clap: , send your old man all the very best congrats from us hubbers!

[Furbz]

just spoke to my dad now

from the start he got himself into the lead from 15th place.

1st hill Benny came past him. on the Downhills and technical stuff Benny was not happy, he took a chicken run and Paul took the bull run getting himself ahead and giving himself a little buffer.

from there he never saw them again, i suspect as Benny was not happy on the rocks, drops and loose sand.

 

he won with a big enough buffer to have a proper celebration in crossing the line first!!

Dad is over the moon, last year at road and TT world champs he got a silver and bronze. now he has a Gold to finish off the collection!

Doubt whether this is the case, looking at the starting grid, there were no names that I recocnised, could be wrong.

Havent seen the mens results but the women: Nadene Cahill, Ester Erdelyi, Jeannie Dreyer... all should be mixing it next week... but then they wouldn't get podiums...

Here's The Man near the end of the last lap:

[Tumbleweed]

Were any of those names selected for the elite Worlds?

60-64: 1. Linus van onselen gets gold!!!

 

From Flandria's FB page:

 

"After numerous S.A championships and S.A records over the years Linus van Onselen has just won the UCI Masters World Championship.

He won by over 5min and caught all but 7 riders in the age category that started in front of him.

Super proud!!!!!!!!!"

 

Baie Geluk Oom Linus!

[Taps]

He went like a rocket!

[Ryanpmb]

Were any of those names selected for the elite Worlds?

Probably not. That's what I'm getting at - in this particular category the crème has been taken out and are racing next weekend (both Men and Ladies). Not taking anything anyway from these three's achievements. Masters categories just seem more appropriate from 35 or even 40 up.

[Furbz]

@taps you quality individual you! thank you!

[Furbz]

He went like a rocket!

 

my dad has alot of respect for Linus!

he is a machine!!

really stocked he got the win!! blitzing the competition!
