Mulkens fulfills dream of winning a Croc Trophy Stage

Mike Mulkens achieved his life-long dream upon winning today's Crocodile Trophy stage into Maytown. After four years and 36 stages, he got his first stage win and the accompanying boomerang. in record temperatures reaching more than 45 degrees Celsius, Cory Wallace came in a close second, and Josef Benetseder finished third. With two stages to go, the overall classifications of both men and women's elite categories are still unchallenged with the Czech Ivan Rybarik and the Australian Kate Major, respectively leading.
