Sweet Victory!

This weekend I managed to win the Simonsvlei Leauge race for the 2nd time in a row, the race is know for the sprinters (which I am not) to take charge with its straight and flat finish. I managed to win with the same tactic like last year, go long, very long! This year I might have overcooked the sprint a bit and according to my data I started the sprint 764m out! The timing was perfect, if the line was 3m further, they would have caught me. Our team really had a good race and had a guy in every move.
I’ really happy about the victory, it keeps you motivated over the holiday period coming up.
Summary of my and other riders data will be available on
