Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 9 Boelen wins
Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 9
Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 9, another fanatastic day of racing. This was Jeroen Boelen's day and a big disappointment for Urs Huber. Crocodile Trophy 2011 Stage 9 was a 148km race from Kalpower to Munbarra. This was the third longest stage and technically the most difficult. The route was used this year for the first time in ten years.
In case anyone has forgotten, these riders don't spend their nights in nice comfortable hotels. Tents are pitched, and they camp out at night. This probably didn't make it any easier for poor Urs Huber who had suffered from a nasty nose bleed during the previous day's stage. He developed a fever in the evening and as the riders started to prepare for day 9 early in the morning, word came that Huber was too ill to continue. This will have been a huge disappointment for him and for his many fans. With only two days to go he must have been hoping to make up time on Boelen.
