MTB Race Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 5
MTB Race Crocodile Trophy Stage 5 was a challenging 110km race from Irvinebank to Mt. Mulligan. The first 40km of this stage of the 17th Crocodile Trophy featured steep inclines and terrifying downhills. Jeroen Boelen seems to have really enjoyed this stage as in his opinion, this was what mountain bike racing was all about.
As well as having steep uphills Stage 5 of this fantastic MTB Race also featured a severely rutted route as well as nasty jutting rocks that the racers were forced to navigate around. It did not take long for Urs Huber to challenge a four man breakaway that included Australians Brad Davis and Justin Morris. As he accelerated past them Boelen quickly followed not wanting to let Huber out of his sight. They were later joined by Krenn and Mulkens thus putting the top four on GC in front.
