The cross country, downhill and four-cross courses in Rotorua, New Zealand got a test run in preparation for this August's UCI World Championships when they hosted the Oceania Championships this past weekend. Under mostly dry and warm skies (barring the odd flash shower), the region's finest did battle for championship honours (with New Zealand coming out on top in all categories) while carpetbaggers from as far away as Canada and France stole the spotlight by winning key individual races.
