Jaroslav Kulhavy and Elisabeth Brandau won Afxentia Time Trial
The second round of Cyprus Sunshine Cup series was characterised by a bad rainy day and new winners. In Afxentia 7,4 km long TT was scheduled in the Macheras Forest. Czech Jaroslav Kulhavy and German Elisabeth Brandau ended preceding all their antagonists. Kulhavy defeated Emil Lindgren and Jan Skarnitzl, while Ekaterina Anoshina and Janka Stevkova completed the podium in the Open Women race. 31st place for Nicolas Jeantet.

Unfortunately the weather conditions in the Macheras Mountains changed suddenly. Rain and cold temperatures modified badly most of the bikers' performance. Some of the greatest protagonists like as Roel Paulissen (Cannondale), Thomas Litscher (MiG) or Fabian Giger (Rabobank-GIANT Offroad Team) didn't perform, as their insiders and fans expected. "I had no energies at all. I didn't perform because I didn't feel my legs" Paulissen explained. Litscher broke his rear shift instead.

Jaroslav Kulhavy didn't suffer at all and showed once again his talent and great physical condition. He preceded Swedish Emil Lindgren (Rabobank-Giant Offroad Team), whose gap at the finish line was 21,4". The leader of the Cyprus Sunshine Cup's overall ranking Jan Skarnitzl (Dimp-GIANT) ended at the 3rd place with a gap of 32,4". Russian Maxim Gogolev and Czech Jiri Friedl completed the Top5.

Jaroslav Kulhavy: 'I felt very well and I'm so happy about these first results in 2010. The track was very hard, because of the mud. I have to control my position with the new bike, but it will be perfect soon".

Emil Lindgren: 'I felt better than the previous week. My legs felt well and I had good sensations, but I was not stronger enough to precede Kulhavy. I made a couple of mistakes too".
Jan Skarnitzl: "Several times I attended Cycle Cross races. I performed excellently".


Elisabeth Brandau has a lot of fun with her mountain bike

Just before the start, nobody have bet on Elisabeth Brandau (Haibike). German biker attended the 2010 Cycle Cross World Championships, then she relaxed for a couple of weeks. Only last week she started her training program but the 5th classified at the Marathon World Championship showed her great physical conditions preceding all her antagonists in Afxentia TT. She preceded for 21,4" sec. Ekaterina Anoshina (Primorsky), and for 58,59 sec. Janka Stevkova (CKEpic-Dohnany).
The last year's winner Alexandra Engen ended at 4th place. 5th place for Voroklini's winner Annika Langvad (HMTBK).

Elisabeth Brandau: 'The technical passages didn't represent a big problem. I has fallen down once and this fall hurt my legs. In any case, I performed at the best and I had a lot of fun with my mountain bike".

Alexandra Engen: 'At the beginning, I'd like to go home, drink a chocolate and watch a movie. But when I started the downhill section, I started having fun".

After Afxentia TT races, the Point-to-Point race is scheduled across the Macheras Mountain.
