Bike Buller titles for Fellows and Wall.
Media Release - Chris Ord, Rapid Ascent / 06.03.2011
All champing at the pedal to take on the much lauded, spanking new Stonefly trail.<br />
<br />
But riders had to grit through plenty of uphill under a searching sun before getting to snake their way at speed down Glen Jacob’s already iconic trail.<br />
<br />
At the pointy end, Andy Fellows, having taken out the 25km XC yesterday, was looking strong before three punctures had him briefly sidelined. It was enough of a break for Tim Wynan to pass, extending enough of a lead to hold on all day, crossing in 2:50:00.<br />
<br />
Only a few minutes back, Andy had a battle on with Michael Crosbie, the 18 year old hotshot who took third in the 25km XC yesterday. So close was the racing that the pair arrived at the chairlift section and had to find something to talk about while sharing the ride. Crosbie took the quick bullet out of the chair, looking good for second place until he overshot a corner, allowing Andy to snatch second place (2:52:43). Crosbie was only one second behind over the line. <br />
