It was a beautiful and dramatic finish to the 2012 Mongolia Bike Challenge presented by Orbea. After weather problems earlier in the week, the ninth and tenth stages were completely redesigned by the organizers - many of the athletes voiced that the final stages were two of the best of the whole race. It was a battle from the start of stage ten as riders fought for final positions in the overall classification. At the finish line it was Wicks (Kona), Wallace (Kona) and Zamora (Buff). Cory Wallace won the overall classification and is the new 2012 Champion. In the women’s race, Elisabeth Adamson (Australia) won the stage and took back the pink jersey, becoming the 2012 Champion. Thank you and congratulations to all the racers who took on the challenge this year!

Will it be the sickest riding of all time? Probably not..
Will it be a life changing experience that teaches you that you can do what ever you put your mind to, and give you a chance to see something REAL before globalization and commercialization eats up this stunning part of the world too? Probably!
