Stander delivers another clinical performance at MTN XCO Cup National
Burry Stander (Specialized/Mr Price) won the MTN National Cross Country pro-elite race at Mankele on Saturday (12 June) in dramatic style.
Saturday’s race was almost a carbon copy repetition of the way in which Stander had won the same event last year and one can be forgiven for thinking that drama, Stander and Mankele go hand in hand.

Stander the hot favourite for final MTN XCO Cup National
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that Burry Stander (Specialized/Mr Price) will win the MTN pro-elite cross country race for men at Mankele on Saturday (12 June).
Even if Stander should have a really bad day, the rest of the riders would have to produce a super-human effort to beat him. And, even then, there is no guarantee that they will win.

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.
