 A few growing pains as it moves towards ARWS norms
But this is definitely a race to add to your calendar, next year looking to environs of 6000 m Famatina "Hill" |
|
 Less than 4 minutes separate the top three teams
but Team Merida Laboratorios Abraham comes out on top, and will head to Spain for the World Championships. |
|
 Day 3: A stage heavy on navigation and technical skills rather than speed and power
turns previous days’ ranking on their head! |
|
 Day 2: Race start at Laguna Brava, at 4200 m
with some low-oxygen running uphill before teams set out on a massive mountain bike descent. |
|
 Locals steal Stage One!
Trio from team District Villa Unión take a strong lead in this first stage. |
|
 4 bottles of fine Argentinean red for your race kit?
Yup, that’s right, thanks to sponsor Casa Montes, a San Juan winery |
|
 The top prize: cash, free entry to the Worlds in Spain, and 4 paid airfares, is a big draw
and there are some very experienced teams here who want it bad. |
|
 What a huge and diverse country this is!
And this race course promises to show off a lot of Argentina’s varied landscapes. |
