Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 8
Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 8 was an 89km race from Laura to Kalpower Camp. This turned out to be a great day for Huub Duyn of the Netherlands. Although this stage was the shortest of the Crocodile Trophy it still proved to be a nasty section. The day was hot, bush fires raged on the other side of the Normandy River, home to saltwater crocodiles and to add to the discomfort the road was corrugated for the whole stage.
Huub Duyn, riding for the Darrell Lee-Donckers Koffie Team, has spent three years as a domestique on the Garmin Team for such illustrious riders as Bradley Wiggins and Christian Vande Velde. In 2010 as a member of Team NetApp he was hit by a car, sustaining five facial fractures.
