Queenstown is the home of the VANZACs and it’s not hard to see why so many of them kill it on the World Cup circuit going by this evidence.
Forget your forty grand T5, working dog with the name of an edgy rockstar or bike part, and a hot riding ladyfriend, the Kiwis and the VANZACs are the kings of #VanLife.
Any privateer wanting to fly twenty six hours around the World to Europe to compete is going to have to take whatever meagre funds they have left to buy a clapped out Merc Sprinter and shoe horn as many like-minded individuals into said vehicle as possible in the hunt for World Cup glory.
For these guys, #VanLife is the means to an end, rather than another cliched hashtag on Instagram of a riding spot erroneously described as ‘looking like Mordor’.
