Cordes wins in record field for MTB Series
Michael Vlismas
13 MARCH 2011 - The Bio-Anabolics Big 5+1 MTB Series race at Babba's Lodge in Gauteng on Sunday celebrated a record 800-strong field with a victory by Paul Cordes of Team MTN Qhubeka.
Cordes claimed the reward for the phenomenal amount of effort he has put into his training this year by winning the 70km race in the second event on the series.
And it's a measure of how the series has grown that Cordes decided to make his debut in this event. "I've heard a lot of people talking about this race, so I thought I'd give it a go. I was expecting a small field and was very surprised to see so many riders," he said. "There was only one technical section and that was where I got away from everybody. I think I was pretty much on my own for the last 25 kilometres."
Organiser Andre de Beer was equally thrilled with the turnout. "I think it's because we cater for the elite as well as family riders. Generally, it's a very nice atmosphere here in the bushveld."
