Jennie Stenerhag wins the Amashova in Durban!

iRide Africa's lead road guide is on top form at the moment-19 race wins this year and counting!.

Last weekend, she traveled up to Durban to take part in one of South Africa's biggest races, the Amashova- a race from Pietermaritzburg to Durban, through the valley of a thousand hills.

The womens bunch consisted of 300 riders
with all the top teams representing, so Jennie had to work super hard to close down the breakaways as well as contending with miserable weather and a wheel change after she punctured!

Jennie was instrumental in whittling down the lead group to 9 riders by the time they reached Durban and had enough 'oomph' in her legs to take the sprint to victory.
Well done Jennie! We're super glad that you didn't suffer the same fate as the mens sprint finish-see bottom left! (That's Burry Stander not falling on the right!)

This latest win means Jennie now leads the Alphapharm series by 20 points. Not bad considering she wasn't here for the winter season!
