Time Trial: Tandem Takedown

SAMUEL DE SWARDT & BRANDON DOWNES ROCKET THEIR WAY TO FIRST PLACE WITH A RECORD BREAKING TIME TRIAL TIME.

Tandem team Samuel de Swardt & Brandon Downes (Complete-T) shattered the Panorama Tour Time Trial record by seventeen seconds, winning in 00:56:50 today. And the surprises continued with single-speed team Julius Cobbett & Carl Lotter (Team Two Guys One Gear) taking second place in a time of 00:59:41 and wrapping up the top three positions were Adolph Krige & Barend Burger (Team Demacon) in a time of 00:59:56.

Going into the Time Trial, the top three teams were separated by a mere 60 seconds. The overall win was decided by the 36km out and back Time Trial with 500m ascent.

The three teams duking it for the overall win were: Johan Deysel & Egon Campbell (08:30:25) (Sub Vet Team Token Manx Missiles), Mark Elliot & Matthys Koekemoer (08:31:36) (Sub Vet Team Token 1) and Samuel de Swardt & Brandon Downes (08:32:36) (Tandem)

Overall General Classification positions after the Time Trial are:

1. Samuel de Swardt & Brandon Downes (09:29:26) (Tandem).
2. Johan Deysel & Egon Campbell (09:30:58) (Sub Vet)
3. Mark Elliot & Matthys Koekemoer (09:32:34) Sub Vet)

On their win, De Swardt & Downes comment: “We came into the race with a very particular strategy, we had a great first and second Stage. Going into Stage Three the eyes were on us but the Long Tom and Spitzkop climbs took their toll. We knew that the time trial was the perfect opportunity to gain back some time, so we went all out. We were flying over the speed bumps through White River and I just turned to Brandon and said “Hold On”.
