Australians dominate crosscountry at Oceania Mountainbike
The Australians dominated the crosscountry competition on the second day of the UCI Oceania Mountainbike Championships in Nelson today.
Leading Australian Chris Jongewaard successfully defended his Oceania crosscountry title with a devastating performance to head off compatriot Sid Taberlay.
It was an Australian clean sweep with David McConnell third.
Taberlay, the multi Australian titleholder who was sixth at the Commonwealth Games, went out strongly to lead over the early laps, opening a 20 second lead on his rival
Jongewaard after four of six laps at Banford Park.
However Joongewaard produced a remarkable display to not only make up the 20 second deficit, but gain a 45 seconds lead with a withering burst of speed on lap five, holding on comfortably to win in 2:00.19.
Taberlay had no answer finishing second 1min 18seconds behind with McConnell nearly four minutes down on the winner in third.
The leading New Zealander was Invercargill’s Marcus Roy in sixth place.
Brilliant Australian teenager Dellys Starr was in a class of her own in the elite women’s race.
The 18 year old spread-eagled the field to win in 1:37.43 in the four lap race, with Auckland’s Kaytee Boyd impressing with her second placing ahead of Australian Rowena Fry.
Australians made a clean sweep of the men's under-23 competition won by Lachlan Norris
while Rotorua’s Monique Avery took out the women's honours in a remarkable sprint finish ahead of Australian Therese Rhodes. It completed a great day for the Avery family with her mother Maryann winning the Masters race.
Wellington’s Jordan Blake won the under-19 men and the brilliant Samara Sheppard successfully defended her under-19 women’s title.
The downhill will be run on Sunday.

Not a massive amount of competition tho. Glad I just managed to beat the lap times of Dellys Star in the elite womens tho.........just.
And the 2 under 17's and lil anton in the under 15's spanked me in their laps.
I got 2nd in teh hill climb............out of 2
Altho I did redeem myself somewhat int eh short course today with like 4th or 5th kiwi home. A few of the elite boys might have still been suffering a bit from Friday night.
Mein Gott those aussies are frikkin quick

A few of the Kiwi guys had tihs days, Stu went down to a failed XTR front DR (been plenty of that going around), Josh was busy mating with trees, CPower was crashing on uphills. A few of the girls had bad days too, Gen Matthews ripped the brake lines from her bike, CAthy Hammer had her brake fade away and still try to ride the 1 techy bit (and got her face in the paper rising from the dust, Lisa decided to play twister with her bike, sascha in the juniors was trying hot lines int eh techy section by going thru the tape on the 1st 2 laps, decided to ride the course on the 3rd lap and nailed it, Rachel in teh juniors tried to liverpool kiss the same tree that josh had earlier mated with, and did the quickest get up I've ever seen from a crash cos Mikey Northcott was right behind her.
Kaytee Boyd DIDN'T crash or have a mechanical, and spanked home in second, by far the fastest girl down the tech section, and faster than a heap of the guys too.

So how can the winer of the senior womens race be lapped out with the 80% rule. As the only women in class she was pretty clever to fall 80% behind herself (the leader)....
.... And if you pull someone out after 1 lap of a scheduled 3 how can you award them the win? I'd be pretty annoyed if I was her
