What did happen to my man Marco? going too much, too soon?

 

He fell a few times. Wasn't his day. He ended up in 26th place.

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.

the fact of the matter is that id people aren't prepared to go out and support our xco riders then what chance or motivation do they really have. Just shows how special burry really was
