World 24 Domination

Willo at presentations shaking Champagne


Alexander and Willo's bike. This is the best bike man in the business. Our bikes were spotless and didn't miss a beat all race.
Willo with Meg just before he crossed the line to take the World 24 hour win.


Jason English crosses the line in 2nd place.



Mark Fenner crosses the line in 3rd place.

Craig Peacock taking his Age group tile for a 3rd consecutive year.

The race for me was over early but more on that latter. The whole team did incredibly well. In Elite Men we filled the first 4 places James Williamson(GIANT), Jason Englisnh(BMC), Mark Fenner(SPECIALIZED), Jeff Tooey(FELT). Katrin VanDerSpeigle finished 2nd in Elite Women,
Craig Peacock(SCOTT), Troy Bailey(BMC) bothe won their age group category. Also many other placings.

Myself in summary. Battling cramps from the beginning, then a clumsy fall straining my knee i was unable to get going pulling the pin at the 8 hour mark. It was a great experience to be their to see so many Aussy riders preform at their best in the most horrific conditions.

Hey John,

Sorry to hear that you had the troubles you did. We were watching the updates on the adrenalin website all weekend and hoping that all was going well.

The AUSSIE TEAM ROCKS!!! So go have a celebration with them and we'll see you when you get back.

Cheers, Danny and Sue.

Chin up buddy. I´ve used this quote before, but it´s still very appropriate,
