Mr Price Karkloof MTB festival report
There is definitely something in the air at Karkloof, KwaZulu-Natal, that brings out the best in Philip Buys (Garmin-adidas). This was the second year in a row that he made his presence felt every time he got on his mountain bike to race during the three-day cycling festival.
On Friday night Buys made mountain bike history when he became the first rider to win the 20km Stihl night race for the second consecutive year. The next day he finished 2nd in the Red Sprint shoot-out and on Sunday he finished 3rd in the marathon.

24 hrs in Parys – Solo winner Gavin Rossouw tells his story
The Race in Parys, not as cool as Rumble in the Jungle but similar in that it was 2 athletes duking it out for longer than either thought likely. It was always going to be a hard day considering the condition I’m in, I won’t lie, I’m not riding that well at the moment and I was hoping to fake it for as long as possible.

More bad luck for Mannie Heymans
Just when Mannie Heymans (Garmin-adidas) thought that he had, hopefully, seen the last of the insides of doctors’ consulting rooms for a while, he finds himself back in the too familiar chair in front of the doctor’s desk, waiting for more bad news.
In his own words ‘Mr African’, as Heymans is known in the mountain biking world, ‘has become Mr Fragile’.
