Before we do a full article on the event, here are some photos taken by Serge Froissart, the director of Fastt, who followed the riders that he coaches around at Rotorua, including Rick Koekoek, who finished on the podium at this round, as well as Guillaume Dunand and Andrei Burton. Serge has shared with us his photos of one of the highlights of the Rotorua World Cup, the Elite warm-up before the main competition... The Elite warm-up is always a pretty intense moment at the big UCI competitions, with each rider seeking to gain a psychological advantage over their adversaries before entering the sections. This always results in some fantastic photos and videos. Here are the photos of the eight 20" finalists warming up on Sunday afternoon.
