Top elite male cyclist and 2024 Olympian, Alex Miller, and elite women cyclist, Anri Greef, secured victories in both the Nedbank National Individual Time Trials (ITT) and Road Race (RR) events held from February 7th to 9th at Matchless Mine in Windhoek.

Miller dominated the 160-kilometer road race, finishing in 4 hours, 4 minutes, and 45 seconds (04:04:45). He outpaced second-place finisher Martin Freyer, who trailed by nearly 10 minutes with a time of 04:14:24. Miller praised the challenging course, emphasizing the need for higher competition standards to match countries like South Africa. He explained his strategy of attacking on the climbs.

Greef found the course's numerous climbs to her liking. She established an early lead and maintained it throughout the race. Despite a comfortable margin of over 10 minutes, Greef remained focused, using the race as preparation for the Tour de Windhoek, which attracts international competitors. She stressed the importance of avoiding complacency even with a significant lead.

Both Miller and Greef also won their respective categories in the ITT. Miller clocked 59:09, ahead of Freyer (01:02:49) and Danzel de Koe (01:08:39). Greef finished in 35:35, followed by Breed (38:24) and Mostert (39:00).

Namibian Cycling Federation President, Tauko Shilongo, acknowledged the success of the championships, which were held shortly after the passing of Founding Father Sam Nujoma. He noted the significance of the event in light of Nujoma's contributions to the nation.

Gernot de Klerk, Nedbank Namibia’s Head of Marketing and Communications, commended the athletes' performance despite the difficult circumstances. He recognized their commitment and the high quality of racing.

She mentioned the NCF's recent award for best developmental programs at the Namibia Sports Awards and expressed hope for strong representation at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
