Jeep KOM Finals + Press Release

The Jeep King of the Mountain series wrapped up on the weekend with
Beone's Bas Da Bever taking the overall in the Mens and Sabrina Jonnier taking out the womens overall title.

It was one of the richest series yet in mountain biking with Team 1 Australia ( Wade Bootes , Katrina Miller ) taking $10 000 home after winning the overall team title ! I wonder if Rennie gets a free pot of beer for his efforts in the Telluride round where he replaced an injured Bootes and scored Team 1 Australia a win in the mens race.

Bas and Sabrina take home cash and get this ... Jeep cars !!! Because neither of them are US residents they are allowed to sell the Jeep's and claim the cash. Thats a pretty decent pay out for a 4 race series.

Hopefully Jeep get behind more of these events, although there was some stuff around at the start of the series with sponsor clashes .. the money and coverage is good for the sport. Well Done Jeep and everyone involved including the riders for making the events.
