South African Riders Too Strong For Locals

A clinical finish by Nolan Hoffman from BCX Cycling Club saw him winning the men’s 120km race with a time of 03:18:32. His fellow countryman, Clint Hendricks from Roadcover club arrived second with the same time but only separated by seconds.

Nkulumo Ncube of Morupule came third with a time of 03:21:23. It was a closely contested race between Hoffman and Hendricks who took the lead from the beginning. Ncube tried to put a brave challenge on the duo only for them to break away from him with eight kilometres remaining. Hendricks was faster than Hoffman but was led down by the technique at the finishing line, with Hoffman claiming the first spot by taking a dip.
