Greg Minnaar of Team G Cross Honda has clinched the WC series with another victory in Angel Fire, New Mexico (USA). Greg's victory put him at more than 500 points above the 2nd place holder Nathan Rennie, giving Greg a definite win for the WC Series.
The high altitude, 2,930m (9,600 feet), made the course one of the most difficult of the year. Since this race was directly after Brazil, where the courses end was at sea level and the mountain had a small elevation. The course was long, at 4 min 30s, it consisted of open fire road sections and four forest single track sections. The forest sections imposed some difficulty to the riders with gnarly rock gardens.
