The South African returns to the sport after spending time off the bike to recover from a hip injury he sustained while racing as a professional. Click here to view the article
Chro Mo Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Great news! I think he may have as much talent as Froomey!
Andrew Steer Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Awesome news, he's a flippin special talent
Selous Scout (aka LegTrap) Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I know John-Lee and he had told me a couple of months back that he had had complications after his op and would probably never do multi day races again- the pain gets too severe.I really hope he is now over the worst and it all works out for him.It is possible that he only does the "shorter" races.
lucmccann Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Awesome news for both him and Team MTN Qhubeka
BeegMig Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Great news. Everyone loves a comeback. Hope he makes it a big one.
Mr X Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) I hope he does the Epic also, there is a big hole in SA MTBiking after Burry, but I understand that the Tour is much bigger and it will be great to see him in the Tour again. It really looked like he was not going to come back but here he is now out riding the Cape Pioneer Trek. Edited October 21, 2013 by Mr X
Mackem Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Fantastic news. JLA back where he belongs - in a team with ambition to match his own!
rock Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 crazy to think how much experience this 26 year old has who basically hasn't been racing for 3 years......he will fit in so well in the MTN camp I reckon, with his new Italy being his home and roots in SA.
Daideron Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Linus Gerderman? Was he on MTN for 2013? Nice for the team to have a former TDF yellow jersey wearer. Wishing the team a brilliant 2014 season, and I am sure we will see JLA back at the top (mountains and podiums) very very soon. MrDCycle 1
Wez-O Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Fantastic news indeed! I was just thinking that MTN-Quebeka deserve a sticky thread for such news.
