Super J Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Robbie Hunter won the SA road champs in Nelspruit! Those of you that know Robbie and have followed his career will admit,he is the most worthy winner ever! Robbie started off years back with Koosie Laubscher as team mates in Nippo Hindo,Robbie stuck it out in Europe and got a place in the Lampre and later Mapie team...... Rob would always promote SA and often managed to convince his team to come race in SA..... And then he got Barloworld a start at the TDF..... And then won a stage,putting SA on the world cycling map! I will never forget the day he beat the best!! What Rob has done for SA cycling is amazing,his presence in Europe has opened doors for all the present up comming racers! I was a close friend of Koosie and often trained with them both and will be so proud when I see Rob in the SA champs kit in all the European races and TDF!! Eventually the SA jersey is on the shoulders of its most deserved rider!!
