Timo takes Die Burger MTB title!


Timo Cooper is a promising young athlete who is not only part of the Pacmar family, but also a vital member of Team Wilde. He is a determined cyclist - be it on tar or outback, he gives it his all. Timo, you always make us proud.

Since the beginning of 2010, Timo has been taking part in various cycling events, proving himself to be a worthy opponent to older, more experienced riders. When Timo participated in Die Burger Mountain Bike Challenge 2010, little did the other riders know that they'll be following his tracks to the finish line!

Timo Cooper represented Team Wilde on Saturday the 31st of July 2010 in Die Burger Mountain Bike Challenge held in Stellenbosch. He participated in the 60 km race, a route that consisted of two laps around a single loop of 30 km. The route basically started with a climb, evening out the pack for the remainder. This is when Timo showed what he was made of, and enjoyed the fast, flat sections of the route with nothing but the wind in his hair.

Timo finished in first place with a time of 2:48:22.

The award ceremony that followed was stellar, with Timo sporting his prize on the winners podium! We would like to congratulate him on his great performance and thank him for representing Team Wilde!
