The Aussie rode conservatively to stay on-line - and crash free - throughout the course, and, like Streb, his time elicited gasps at the finish line. Before Kovarik hit the finish, the top four positions were occupied by riders in the 4:44 range. Kovarik lowered that mark by 12 seconds with a 4:32.59 to stay in the hot seat through the finish and the victory. South African Greg Minnaar, fresh off a solid day in the mountain cross took the second spot with a 4:36.09, followed by John Waddell (ITS-Santa Cruz), Joel Panozzo (WTB-Santa Cruz) and Poomans.
