Quinn, who won two events Â? West Coast Express and Bonnievale ? in the Summer league, finished third overall in the league. ?Team CPI gave me the opportunity to become more of a professional rider. And they made me a very good offer. The chance to ride in international races will give me some invaluable experience,? said Quinn. The other new members are Michael van Staden and Martin Wesemann. The full team roster is Quinn, Van Staden, Wesemann, Garth Thomas, Abdelbasset Hannachi and Chris Willemse jnr. ?It?s a good mix of guys we have in the team. I know some of them already which makes it easier to be part of the team. It would have been more difficult if I didn?t know anyone. All of the guys in the team are really talented. If we can work as a unit?we can be great. We only need to remember to work together and not against each other.?
