New Zealand has won the Aust-NZ MTBO Challenge, for the 5th time in a row.

Over three events within the W2W MTBO Carnival just concluded, NZ won 9, 7.5 and 8 of the 10.5 classes contested. (W70 was included as half a class under a special arrangement that recognised both countries could only field a single rider.)

International visitors enthused over the carnival, except for a long distance on clay tracks affected by a cloudburst. Full results including splits, RouteGadget and news are on www.mtbocarnival.com
