JUSTIN LEOV Wins NZ National Championships!
Dean Optics' Justin Leov (World No 5 ranked) produced a stunning performance to win the downhill title at the RaboPlus New Zealand Mountainbike Championships in Nelson on Sunday.
Leov (Christchurch), who has just signed for the new Trek professional team, went in as the second fastest after the seeding run behind fellow New Zealand team-mate Sam Blenkinsop (Wanganui) who won the dual slalom on Friday.
Leov, who was sixth in last year’s world championships, ripped down the course in 3:21:74 to lay down the challenge to Blenkinsop.
The Wanganui rider was unable to answer the challenge, finishing second just over a second outside Leov’s time.
Veteran Nathan Rankin (Levin), who had a disastrous seeding run, got his act together with a 3:25:45 effort to lead for much of the competition.
His time was bettered only by Leov, Blenkinsop and Kieren Bennett (Nelson).
