Cape Town brought the energy this weekend as riders hit the Crosswind Pump Track for the 2025 South African Qualifier—and the action did not disappoint. In the women’s final, South Africa’s Miyanda Maseti claimed the top step with a sharp time of 20.612, edging out Khothalang Leuta from Lesotho, who’s been going from strength to strength and clocked 20.864 in the big final. Jessi Nixon took third after a consistent day of racing, and Ingrid Youell closed out the top four.
The men’s final was full-gas from start to finish, with Chile’s Sebastian Mendez laying down a blistering 17.978 to take the win. South Africa’s Andrew Posthumus kept the home crowd fired up with a strong second place finish in 18.419, while Doran Mathewson and Michard Meets rounded out the top spots.
Massive thanks to the pump track family for showing up and showing off with all the gees, grit, and good vibes. From the first start to final lap—it was all heart out there.
See you in Switzerland!
