GLuvsMtb Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Awesome news. Lets hope that they make the most of this opportunity.
Cav' Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Cool. Now they better not **** this up. Ciolek cant be numero uno in every race.
'Dale Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 A Grand Tour is gonna be one helluva experience for the guys.A big cycling lesson. It'll be a good developmental curve for them. Excited!
Squier Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 A Grand Tour is gonna be one helluva experience for the guys.A big cycling lesson. It'll be a good developmental curve for them. Excited! Absolutely! And it's a stepping stone to other Grand Tours. Bigger exposure, more sponsors, more $$$ to develop our talent. Africa has arrived!
Cellar Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ciolek cant be numero uno in every race. Be fair now, they have shown across the board, they are more than a one trick outfit. They probably wont even put Ciolek in the Vuelta squad.
Tumbleweed Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) The MTN-Qhubekateam has celebrated becoming the first African-registered team to secure an invitation to the Vuelta a Espana, by setting the goal of having at least 50% of its riders for its Grand Tour debut from Africa.http://www.cyclingne...elta-invitation Edited April 3, 2014 by Tumbleweed rouxtjie and Anatomic Sportswear 2

Anatomic Sportswear Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Awesome news for Doug and the team - been a long time coming!Was gutted at their Giro miss, but this is the next best thing and may well actually suite them a bit better?Hopefully Meintjies and Augustyn can tear up those climbs!
Cellar Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Won there before hasn't he? I think so, but I reckon they'll rather target a high overall place and some stage wins in the mountains with the saffa and African climbers (and maybe Linus). Well, that's what I'd plan around if I was the DS. Edited April 3, 2014 by Cellar

Cellar Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Agree, I'm sure they will take climbers but they must take Ciolek for the sprint finishes. He is their fastest man. Yeah I guess one stage win even if on the flat will make it worthwhile.
jcza Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah I guess one stage win even if on the flat will make it worthwhile. Stage win will be awesome. Wow man I'm looking forward to this.
