Riders head through desolate territory

Today, the inaugural Magical and Untamed African Mountain Bike race led the riders from around the world across the famous Montague pass and through the very arid and extremely hot Klein Karoo desert.

Whilst the top teams needed 4 hours and 13 minutes to complete the 123 kilometre long stage, some amateurs took 8 hours and more to ride from Saaslveld/ George to Calitzdorp Spa. Their efforts were awarded with breathtaking views of wide open space and the distant Swartberg Mountains. Instead of people lining the streets cheering along, hundreds of ostriches, sheep and springbok formed a captive audience in the secluded area.

Team GT Africa with Jacques Rossouw and Shan Wilson (RSA) won in a tight sprint finish, followed by Mannie Heymans (NAM) and Karl Platt (GER), team Focus/ Rocky Mountain, and the men in the yellow leader jerseys, Andi Strobel (GER) and Silvio Wieltschnig (AUT), Team adidas Fiat Rotwild. It was U23 World Cup Champion Liam Killeen (GBR), who shifted onto the big chain ring on Montague pass and forced the five leading teams to increase their pace in order to stay beside him. Liam’s partner, Downhill World Champion Greg Minnaar (RSA), fell behind for which team 23 Degrees caught a time penalty.

The field could not keep up with the average pace of 30 km/h, so the leading group took it easy. They chatted during their ride, stopped together at all watering points to drink and lubricate their chains, and then took off again in a group. When a marshal informed them that the field got closer and closer, however, they put the hammer down and increased their pace to over 40 km/h for the last 45 minutes of the race. On the last 100 metres in front of the finish line Jacques Rossouw and Shan Wilson opened the sprint finish which they won leading by 5 hundreds of a second. Dressed up in their colourful school uniforms, a bus full of children from Calitzdorp welcomed the winners, cheering and waiving enthusiastically with white ostrich feathers.
