Solo 24 Hour Worlds

The Rotorua Bike Festival’s longest day came down to the last hour.

After a head-to-head battle with Canadian Cory Wallace,  Jason English took a narrow win at the WEMBO 24 hour Solo World Championships in the weekend.

At the same time, the Australian created history. His 7th title broke the record of Chris Eatough, another legend of international endurance mountain biking.

An emotional Liz Smith made it an Aussie double winning her first women’s world title.

For many in the multi-nation field it was more about finishing than winning.

See how the 24 hours played out.
