Waylon Woolcock<\/strong> and Carmen Buchacher<\/strong> are the 2017 Nissan Trailseeker Western Cape Series champions. The final points standings for the popular series were confirmed after the fourth and final round was completed at Hemel & Aarde,<\/strong> Hermanus last weekend.<\/p>\n

Despite going off the course at Sunday\u2019s event, where he ended up finishing fifth, Woolcock\u2019s top three performances in the Series see him conclude with a total of 11 402 points. The Team BCX <\/strong>rider won Round 1 at Tulbagh in April, finished second at Round 2 in Grabouw in June and third in Wellington in August.<\/p>\n

Port Elizabeth-based Marco Joubert <\/strong>(Momsen Bikes) finished the series in second place on 10 942 points with Dominic Calitz<\/strong> claiming third place on 10 653.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super happy with the series win. It\u2019s nice to have won both the Nissan Trailseeker Gauteng Series, back in 2012, and now the Western Cape Series,\u201d<\/em> said Woolcock.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added<\/strong>, \u201cI\u2019ve never been much of an overall series contender because I usually take a bit of a break from racing in the winter and miss one or two of the Trailseeker Series events or arrive to race under conditioned. This year my racing schedule was different and I was in good form at three of the four events.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The women\u2019s series saw Buchacher <\/strong>conquer with consistency. Although the Velocity Sports rider never won any of the three rounds she competed in, she got two second places and a third to give her a total of 10 779 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t win any of the events but the racing standard was always quite high. I had a problem with my shock at Wellington, which definitely cost me time, but fortunately I had steady results at the other events to give me enough points to win the series,\u201d\u00a0<\/em> said Buchacher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting on the season, she added:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI have loved racing the Nissan Trailseeker Series. The organisers chose some of the best local mountain biking locations for the events and the organisation was always of a very high standard.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Courteney Webb<\/strong> claimed second place in the Series with 9 891 points, narrowly beating Louise Ferreira<\/strong> who had a total of 9 847 points.<\/p>\n

In the popular Half-marathon Nissan Trailseeker Series, Western Cape, Junior Rossouw Bekker\u2019s<\/strong> perfect win record saw him claim the male title, while another Junior, Allison Morton<\/strong>, secured the top female prize.<\/p>\n
