The guys riding for Life in Motion had a good day! Johann Wykerd came 5th in the Vet men group and did a bit of sand farming as well (as you can see in the pic below.)
Travis Walker, James Reid and Sbo Ntombela all raced in the Junior Men category. James and Trav were flying from the start chasing after DCM Chrome's Rourke Croeser and Trav did brilliantly to hold onto 3rd place with James coming in 5th. Sbo had a great race clocking in consistent lap times and finished in 8th overall. These guys are our future stars so watch out for them over the next few years.

Sbo flying down the off-camber decent before going over the bridge on his 1st lap.
Brendan Davids and Luke Roberts racing in the Youth Category. These guys were neck and neck until the 3rd lap when Brendan pulled ahead and won the race with 1 minute 22 seconds over Luke. Interesting thing here is that Johann coaches Luke and his wife, Allegra, coaches Brendan. Pretty impressive coaching as these two put 5 minutes into everyone else.
Last picture from the Nationals is of our South African racing machine, Burry Stander. Burry posted the fastest lap time of the day of 15:24 (and for those of you who know the course, that is a scary time!) Burry raced impressively and won the U23 category and was pipped by 2 minutes in the Elite category by Wolfram Kurschat (one of the 55 international riders competing at our Nationals!)
