The mountain bike racing season came to an end with a race in Gudja earlier this month. Maurice Formosa, Mark Bonnici and Etienne Bonello took an early lead with defending champ Jason Vella and Paul Zarb close behind. Formosa and Bonnici lost ground due to mechanical problems, allowing Vella to leapfrog into second place. But Bonello (centre) pedalled on to set a new course record of 1:09:11 and claim his 10th mountain bike title. Vella was second and Zarb third. Marie Claire Aquilina was the outright winner in the women’s race followed by Lara Buttigieg and Catherine Halpin. The races were hosted by Agones Sports Club.
