Miller, Van Schoor win Tour de Windhoek

Alex Miller of King Price Racing and Kelsey Jade van Schoor of Team Pirtek Hollard won the elite men and women’s titles at the Pupkewitz Megabuild Tour de Windhoek that concluded yesterday.

It was the first time that Miller had competed in the Tour de Windhoek since he came fourth four years ago.

He subsequently went on to compete professionally on the European mountain bike circuit but now on his return underlined his dominance on the road bike as well, with a commanding win from the start of the four-day tour.

On Thursday he immediately took a commanding lead when he won the opening individual time trial, finishing 43 seconds ahead of Christiaan van der Westhuizen of Team Hollard Elite.

The next day he all but sealed his tour victory with an awesome ride on the 85km Dordabis road stage when he finished nearly two minutes ahead of Theuns van der Westhuizen of Hollard Elite, while he stretched his lead even further after winning the third stage, the Finkenstein Loops on Saturday.
