Knox and Zahnd victorious at stage1 of DCM Cape Pioneer Trek
Over the last four days it has been a case of different day, different province, different mountain bike tour and even different teammate.
The only constant seems to be Max Knox of DCM’s desire to “kill off” his rivals one by one with his cool and calculating hard riding.

Arran Brown repeats Amashova win
Arran Brown, the standout sprinter in South African road cycling in 2009, showed on Sunday that he’s back to peak form after an injury-enforced layoff when he won the MTN Amashova 106km Classic between Pietermaritzburg and Durban.
Brown led a Team Medscheme one-two for the second year in succession when he and teammate Malcolm Lange produced a carbon copy of their 2009 finish by claiming the first two places respectively in a time of 2hr 24min 08sec.

DCM duo tackle Isuzu 3 Towers only days before their assault on the DCM Cape Pioneer Trek
Max Knox and Brandon Stewart (both DCM) have decided to compete in two mountain bike tours within nine days.
Most riders would consider a six-day mountain bike tour as a tough enough challenge, but then Max Knox and Brandon Stewart (both DCM) are not your average mountain bikers. Their motto is ‘The tougher the better’ and they thrive on physical challenges.

Scotland’s David Millar won the gold medal in the men’s 40km time trial road race at the Commonwealth Games on earlier today.
Alex Dowsett of England took silver with Australian Luke Durbridge winning the bronze.
The winning margin was just a shade under 55 seconds as Millar, seeded first and therefore last out of the gate, crossed the line in 47 minutes and 18 seconds.
