Knox the man to beat at MTN Rooiberg National MTB driven by Nissan
Max Knox (EAI Solutions/Specialized) is the man to beat this weekend.
This will be the challenge that every pro-elite rider, who has aspirations of winning the MTN ultra-series overall, will have to face when he lines up for the start of the MTN Rooiberg ultra Marathon on Saturday (15 June).
Knox has been in awesome form so far this season. He won at MTN Barberton, MTN Clarens and MTN Wellington and finished 3rd at MTN Sabie.

“Cometh the hour cometh the man.”
These words are the perfect way to describe Max Knox (Specialized/EAI Solutions) winning the MTN Gravel Travel National MTB driven by Nissan Ultra Marathon outside Wellington on Saturday (11 May).
Knox might just have made South African mountain biking history. It is not known whether any rider has ever managed to win two of the MTN National MTB Series on consecutive weekends.

Stellar start list for Attakwas Extreme Challenge
There will be no easing into 2013 for South Africa’s top mountain bike marathon racers. The Attakwas Extreme Challenge in Oudtshoorn is regarded by most as the toughest single-day marathon race in the country and on Saturday, the seventh edition will guarantee another brutal season-opening test.
It’s unlikely any of the Attakwas Extreme Challenge entrants will have felt comfortable resting on Christmas Day. Indeed, most probably trained. The formidable 121km route, which incorporates the unforgiving dry, stony Karoo terrain, will include just under 3000 metres of climbing, with around two thirds of that in the final half of the race.
