I thought they did a pretty good job and it was the UCI who chose not to come back ChrisF, DieselnDust and Danger Dassie 1 2

GSM wanted it to coincide with the ACE and UCI felt the gap between Stellenbosch and Nove Mesto in May was too big. Ultimately, I’m guessing it had more to do with financial terms that the contract was ultimately cancelled.

Big weekend for sa mountain biking Candice is in with a shout at winning the XCO overall. The XCC is already Keller’s. Alan can win the XCC overall but it’s a long shot. Vic has to finish 9th or lower with Alan winning. the XCO overall is Alan’s to lose so as long has he scores more than Vic it’s his. If not then he just has to track him Finish behind Victor. Greg’s last race Luke’s last race in U23 too. He steps up to Elite XCO next year the prospect of RSA owning both women’s and men’s XCO overall titles is mouth watering BikeisLife, DieMelkman, nonky and 9 others 12
rock Posted October 3 Posted October 3 has a privateer ever sealed an overall title? This could be something special.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 3 Posted October 3 It would appear, if DSTV can be trusted with what they say, they will be broadcasting live this weekend ... 😎 love2fly, Ruben101 and Headshot 1 1 1

justinafrika Posted October 5 Posted October 5 (edited) Am very much enjoying the insights in this year's Eurosport DH coverage production with more rider insights into their prep and personal approaches to competition. Edited October 5 by justinafrika

justinafrika Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Mrs Lill going great guns and looking like she's up for it. Go Candice! nonky 1
DieselnDust Posted October 6 Posted October 6 The interview with Mike Posthumus at the start was great. The only outlier to the plan has been Chris Blevins
