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 justinafrika, Vishal72, 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 ... 😎 Headshot, love2fly and Ruben101 1 1 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
