Martin Freyer hangs in to take third place in cycle classic

Home Sports Martin Freyer hangs in to take third place in cycle classic

WINDHOEK – Team Kia Namibia rider Martin Freyer put up a solid performance to clinch 3rd place in the men’s elite category of the Cycle Classic MTB race on the south-western outskirts of Windhoek last weekend.

Freyer recently returned from a training camp at the UCI headquarters in Switzerland where he spent nearly one month working on his skills.
The race was won by one of Namibia’s most promising youngsters, Herbert Peters, who finished the 55-km event in an astonishing time of 1:58:40 hours. Tjipee Murangi was adrift in 2nd place in a time of 02:01:57, with Freyer tailing a mere half minute off Murangi’s pace (02:02:29).
The tightly contested race recorded less than five minutes between the overall winner and 7th placed Philip Steyn. In the road race the next day, Freyer ended 15th overall.
Pascal Marggraff took top honours in the event after a photo finish.
Johanita de Waal was on top of her game in the ladies 55-km race, clocking 02:24:13 with Antje Tietz (2:29:37) and Hester Prins (2:32:35) picking up the pieces for 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
