<\/a>It was TIB Insurance’s Andrew Hill who wrapped up his hat-trick of Quattro ROAG Series on Sunday at the Mountain Splendour Mania even though he had already won the series before he started the race in the Central Drakensberg over the weekend. \/\/ Image: QuickPix\/ Gameplan Media.<\/span>\n<\/div>\nFor Hill it was his second win of the series but he has been consistently good throughout which saw him open up an unassailable lead going into the Mountain Splendour.<\/p>\n
His series spoils secure beforehand saw the TIB Insurance rider\u2019s motivation levels down a touch from normal but he wasn\u2019t ever going to take the Central Drakensberg race lightly and showed his prowess as he crossed the line just ahead of fierce competitor Tyronne White (Thule) with Joshua Nelson coming in third.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a good tussle up front with Tyronne White the whole way and it was nice to be able to walk away with the win in the end,\u201d Hill said after the race. \u201cIt was a little tough getting motivated for this one having already clinched the Quattro ROAG Series title but it was nice to finish things off with another win.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was a hat-trick of series wins for the Hillcrest resident, a pleasing result for the series fan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been awesome to come back and win the series three years in a row,\u201d an elated Hill added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been great to see how the series has grown over the past three years and the way in which the series has raised the profile of mountain biking in KZN and pushed things right from the juniors all the way up to us at the top has been superb.\u201d<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s race was a much tighter affair going into the final showdown with USN\/Hi-TEC\u2019s Jeannie Dreyer leading the standings with Jowett’s Cycles Natalie Bergstrom snapping at her heals.<\/p>\n
