Men's Cross Country
Massed-start races held on a varied terrain circuit on a lap format. The cross country course has been boldy remodeled after last year’s event to make life easier for the technical crews that assist the riders in the feed zones. The new layout has the two feed zones right alongside each other that will allow crews to service their riders in both feed zones with ease. Track: 5.5km long 280m altitude variance per lap.

2012 Pietermaritzburg World Cup Adam Craig from Rabobank Giant off-road cycling team rides the 2012 Pietermaritzburg World Cup XC course and talks us through the best and most technical sections. It's a pretty full on course with some very challenging and technical trail features.
Plus the 2012 DH World Cup track is visible alongside as the XC course weaves it's way past and around. Enjoy.
The men's six lap race saw Schurter and Stander make their move almost immediately, with Schurter setting the pace and Stander hanging on. World champion and 2011 World Cup champion Jaroslav Kulhavy (Specialized) joined the duo for the first lap, but the pace was too high for him, and he had to back off, eventually finishing fifth, just ahead of Olympic champion Julien Absalon (Orbea). Fumic bridged up to the two leaders on the second lap, and the first three places on the podium were decided, with only the order to be determined. Fumic was dropped on the fourth lap, and then Schurter made his move in the final lap, to win by 11 seconds.
"It was an awesome race," commented Schurter. "I really like Pietermaritzburg, it is really a course for me, really technical. It was awesome in front of the crowd, I really like South Africa. It was a nice fight with Burry, he did a great job, and he was very good to ride with."The two leaders will defend their jerseys next month at round two of the World Cup in Houffalize, Belgium.
