The Belgian Wouter Cleppe who is competing for our team has finished first in the MTB XC race "Arges Autumn Race - Pitesti" which has been held this Sunday November 6, 2011 in Romania. In the competion took part the best Romanian riders and as Wouter shared with us they have been true XC racers. Wouter took place in 200 minutes category.

The circumference of the track was of 6 km length and with displacement of 150 m and with seven ascents and descents respectively.


The competition was exceptionally interesting given that the time the riders should compete for is 200 minutes.

After the third round he was third in group of four riders cut off from the main group.


He was attacked by other rider at each climbing, but it was exactly the time when he demonstrated his class.

After 2 hours and 10 minutes exhausting ride with perfectly judged forces and capabilities in this long and exhausting ride Wouter made the final attack and gained the advantage of seven minutes and a half before the second rider and thus won the race.
