:: KL Mountain Bike Carnival 2007 ::
The 5th year of KL Mountain Bike Carnival this 2007 saw the driest race
course ever. It threatened to rain throughout the weekend but held up
till just after prize giving ceremony making it a very fast race course.
Indonesian, Bandi Sugito from Team Charmdevo conquered Kiara for the 3rd
year in a row by a
mere 24 seconds followed by Malaysian top mountain bike racers, Mohd Hafiz
Rozli, Shahrin Amir, Jr Stanly Jalip and Azizul Azli Shaari. Due to race
course conditions, Bandi set a new record at 8 minutes 41 seconds per
2.1km lap. Masziyaton Md Radzi from Team Majlis Sukan Negeri Kedah showed
she is here to stay by taking home the top Women’s Elite prize in
two years.
The Age group categories saw spectacular racing with many thrills and
spills causing surprises at the end. The Youth category saw Mohd Yazrul
Hisham from Malaysia MTB Team emerge as champion among a group of very
talented pool of future mountain bikers.
One
rider deserved a mention as the most persistent racer, after his first
lap, his saddle fell off but instead of giving up, he raced 2 full laps
without a seat. He may have finished last in his category but in our hearts
and minds, Barry Lee was the ‘real’ champion of the day. Everyone
lined the trails waiting to watch the showdown between the strong men
of Men’s 41 & Above which did not disappoint as these men delivered
– Paul Moir won the race, Happy Birthday to you. Our Super Mom from
Ipoh drove down to race, won hands down then drove home with 1st placing
in Women’s Sport – Thank you Lea Yeo for being our inspiration.
KL
Mountain Bike Carnival will not have been possible without our dedicated
title sponsors that have shown continued support over 5 years and are
committed as we are in developing mountain biking as a sport in Malaysia
