George secondo assoluto ai NZ champ

Sì infatti ma non era l'ultima? Christchurch  era l'ultima gara della serie NZ ma.. avevamo dimenticato che c'era ancora il national!! George ci ha dato una ulteriore grande soddisfazione, al suo primo anno da elite si è guadagnato il posto d'onore in mezzo a tanti e forti rivali,bravo! appena abbiamo qualche foto la postiamo
Intanto ecco il commento di Vorb:
"In the feature Elite Mens race, Nathan Rankin (Monster Energy, Levin) had seeded poorly but put together a race run that looked to be competitive enough to take the title. Rankins time held until 6th seed George Brannigan (Ancillotti, Havelock North) peeled nearly two seconds out of him to take the leaders hotseat. Five riders were still capable of going quicker than Brannigan - Rupert Chapman (Christchurch) couldn't improve on his 5th seed time; Mathew Scoles (Cingolani-Protone, Alexandra) went four seconds quicker than his seeding time but this was only good enough for 8th; Justin Leov (Trek World Racing, Dunedin) also improved but not enough; former Elite World Champion Gee Atherton (Commencal, Great Britain) crashed heavily in the top part of the course and couldn't finish, so the final starter and fastest seed Cameron Cole was the only rider who had a shot at beating Brannigan for the title. 2006 Junior World Champion Cole was composed, lightening fast and up to the task, stopping the clock at 2:58.13 - the only rider to race a sub 3 minute run to take the prized Elite National Championship title."
George è riuscito a buttare giù ben 11 secondi dal seeding run, sorpendendo tutti ,tranne naturalmete Cole
