South African George wins time trial
Barloworld's Pfannberger and Froome goes 1-2 in GC
|
Team MTN's David George took top honors in the individual time trial, the final stage of the Giro del Capo Saturday. The South African won by 7.25 seconds over Dominique Cornu (Belgian National Team) and 12.43 seconds over race leader Christian Pfannberger (Barloworld).
It was the fifth time ever, and the third time consecutively, that George won this Signal Hill time trial.
Pfannberger made it two consecutive race overall wins for Barloworld, which also boasts the second placed GC rider Christopher Froome and victory in the teams classification. Pfannberger won not only the overall, but also the points jersey. His team-mate Robert Hunter, who has made his reputation as a sprinter, surprised some by taking home the King of the Mountains jersey.
"I am ecstatic with today's results," said Barloworld Team Manager Claudio Corti. "We came to Giro del Capo to do well and win. To win in this beautiful city, in the homeland of our sponsor is very special for the team and we are all very happy."
