South Africa 1,2 & 3 at 2009 UCI MTB World Champs!

Talk about a misleading headline, but I'm so proud I'm not going to change it!

So this is how it all rolled out at the World Championships in Canberra, Australia:
1st Place - Burry Stander crowned world under-23 cross-country champion- Last in the hairstyle stakes tho...

2nd Place - Greg Minnaar missed out on winning the elite downhill title by a mere 0.05 seconds! But Peaty got a well deserved 1st and kept the pesky Aussies away which is always good!

3rd Place - Candice Neethling did us all proud in the junior cross country. I hope she continues with this kind of form!

You've got to wonder how good the riding must be in South Africa to produce such World class talent. Why don't you find out and come on one of our cycling holidays?
