Haley Preen (Team Honeycomb 226ers) and Alex Miller (SWATT Club) carved out clear solo victories at the Khomas100 in Windhoek, Namibia, claiming both the first running of the event as a UCI Gravel World Series race and new titles of African Continental Champion.
Miller had been out the front with Marc Pritzen (Team Honeycomb 226ers) heading into the final stages of the 155km event.
"At about 9 kilometres to go I decided to see how I was feeling and I attacked and immediately got a gap and thought OK, now I have to try and make it stick and luckily the energy was there and I was feeling good," said Miller in an interview with race organisers after taking the victory.
