Who's the man

How insane is this shot...

For any of you who know anything about mountain biking, this is the man. Christoph Sauser.

Here he is pictured winning the recent Mountain Biking World Champs, where our very own Burry Stander came in 2nd posi in the U23 section. Anyway so he won this race and went on to create a bit of a stir at the Mountain Biking Marathon World Champs where he obstructed a fellow rider Roelf Paulinson in the final sprint for the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf86LFuPT2s
Personally I think he was pretty hard done by, bit of a home town decision. The UCI which controls the race awarded it to Paulinson and once they had done that it wasn't going to be easy to change their minds. Bit like Judge Hlope.
Look out for Sauser and SA's best Burry at the Beijing Olympics which are just around the corner.

For me its off to Kleinmond for some R&R, I will be riding hard in preparation for the Stellenbosch Mountain Bike Challenge next weekend. This race is part of the National Mountain Bike series so expect to see some of the local big guns in action. A good one to measure yourself on 66km of hard riding. I will do 3-4 hrs of hard riding on Saturday and look to take it easy until the race.
