Was exciting to watch, until that flat changed everything. Results are a reminder of how we are a marathon geskrik country(and europe loves XCO). Our top result was mathys beukes in 50th place.

 

Europeans take 27 of the top 30 places.

 

The swiss are insane.They have 14 guys in the top 40, that's kenyan marathon running type of figures.
