Avery again shows his class
Clinton Avery showed his class by comfortably winning the Elite Men's UCI Class 2 cross country race hot conditions in Napier today (Sunday). Avery beat Te Anau's Marcus Roy who was second by over seven minutes. Michael Northcott was third. New Zealand National Champion Kashi Leuchs pulled out with a mechanic failure on his bike just two laps into the six lap race.
Avery completed the 45km race in 2.16.02. Included in the field were riders who will be representing Scotland and Northern Ireland at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, which bodes well for New Zealand's chances of mountain bike Commonwealth medals next month. Avery will receive a tougher test next weekend at the Oceania Championships in Rotorua where the entire Australian Commonwealth Games mountain bike team will be competing.
The Elite Women's race was won by Rotorua's Annika Smail. Smail beat fellow Rotorua rider and Commonwealth Games representative Sonia Foote by six minutes, ahead of a valiant performance by Christchurch's Katrine Lawton. Fellow Commonwealth Games team member Robyn Wong pulled out with a mechanic failure, and Rosara Joseph was riding in the Tour of Geelong so did not start.
