Reason 26: There's Gold in South Africa

While South Africa is famous for producing Gold, we have recently started taking alot of gold from other countries! Not only is Greg Minnaar cleaning up on the World Downhill stage (he got Silver today at the 2009 World Champs), but Burry Stander is the new U23 World Champ. Burry used to ride for GT and was "discovered" by Specialized when he teamed up with Christoff Sauser on the Cape Epic. In 2008 they rode together as Team Songo.Info due to Susi being with Specialized and Burry being with GT. In 2009 Burry joined Specialized. South Africa has brought Gold to Specialized on the race circuit, and a South African trail crew can do exactly the same when it comes to trail riding!
