Rossouw and Grove claim dramatic Underberg Gran Fondo titles

Underberg - Frederick Rossouw and S'annara Grove emerged as the winners of a dramatic Underberg Gran Fondo gravel cycling race on Saturday after a “scary” crash robbed the spectators of what was developing into a fascinating men’s race.

About halfway through the tough 140km course, race leader Josh Rheeders crashed heavily and ended up unconscious on the road. The chasing group, made up of last year’s winner Tyronne White, Kevin Benkenstein and Warren Moolman, arrived and together with other riders helped Moolman until an ambulance arrived.

“I think it was probably one of the scariest things I've come across in my riding career,” said White. “I am just glad Josh is now okay. He was on his back and unconscious when we arrived. I believe he is now okay.

“Josh was riding really well and he had attacked on the Coleford climb where he built about 20- or 30-seconds lead. Myself, Benky and Warren were slowly working our way back, so we did not actually see him go down, but when we came around the corner he was still clipped into the bike.”

“It was scary, so we stayed with him and he came around eventually. But apparently he's now okay.”

“We were there for about 35 minutes with Josh, but Frederick stopped and we told him to go on once the ambulance arrived. It was nice for him to get the win. I do not think it would have been fair on Fred to do anything with the results,” added the Drive Train Academy rider.

White, Benkenstein and Bradly Thompson then rode into the finish together, with the results putting White second, Benkenstein third and Thompson fourth in the men’s category.

However, in that group was Grove, who was thus officially fourth overall and a clear winner of the women’s title.

Riding for CJ O'Shea Racing team in England, the current South African road race champion’s time of 5:00:05 was a staggering 41 minutes clear of runner up Rouxda Grobler, with defending champion Sanchia Malan another seven minutes behind.

And finally there is only 1 more day until race day! 🚴🏾

The Underberg Grand Fondo has built a reputation for two things in its short history: Spectacular views of the Drakenberg as riders meander their way through the foothills; and a tough route that challenges competitors’ skills, fitness and mental strength.

“I’m expecting a cold start,” said White this week from his training studio in Ballito. “But I’m also expecting a good hard race and some beautiful views along the way – the views of the Berg are always spectacular.”
