Greg Minnaar (Santa Cruz Syndicate), South Africa’s most successful mountain bike racer ever, made a triumphant return to competition at the weekend after a long injury layoff to capture the National Downhill Title at the 2008 Mazda MTN South African Mountain Bike Championships.
A slightly stiff shouldered Minnaar lacked some of his usual fluidity, but was certainly not lacking any speed or class as he completed two virtually identical runs down the tricky 2.9km plunge through the forest at Cascades on the western slopes of his hometown, Pietermaritzburg.
Final Results:
1. Greg Minnaar (Santa Cruz Syndicate) 4m 38.09s
2. Andrew Neethling (Mongoose Red) 4m 41.03s
3. Jonty Neethling (Morewood Fox Oakley) 4m 51.51s
Greg on the new V10…….
