It is the evening of the 1st round of the World Cup series here in South Africa and the dust is finally setting on the 4km track in Greg’s hometown of Pietermaritzburg.

This was an odd track for the 1st round but it was to provide some really exciting moments with various results for the competitors. Everyone was unveiling their new kit and bikes so there was a lot of hustle and bustle around the pit lane for the 1st few days. With some brand new teams emerging and a lot of riders moving teams, it was going to be difficult to predict how the top 5 elite men would pan out on Sunday afternoon.

I arrived at Pinkbike this afternoon to meet up with the crew. When I got there I walked into the shop, there was Tyler and Trenton working on his new Devinci bikes to get his bikes in tip-top shape for Sea Otter. About an hour later Kyle arrived and was stoked to see his new bikes sitting waiting to be built. I worked on my Transition Double for a couple hours swapping parts and fine-tuning certain things so that I can race Dual at the Sea Otter in a few days.
