Roger Suren has been making steady progress in Europe, competing against the world’s top mountain bike riders for the Alpecin Premier Tech Development team.
Suren (18) recently returned to Namibia for a short holiday, although he also excelled at the Namibia National Cross-Country Championships at Bergquell a week ago where he was the overall men’s winner.
He won the u23 race by nearly 10 minutes ahead of Theuns van der Westhuizen, while his time of 1:11:41 for the six-lap course was nearly six minutes faster than that of the elite men’s winner, Hugo Hahn.
Suren was signed up by the professional cycling team Alpecin Premier Tech after a great performance at last year’s UCI Junior World Championships in Switzerland, where he won the silver medal in the XCO Cross-Country Olympic race.
