Paulst12 Posted June 17, 2015 Share In the Elite race..... ummm i dont think i qualify for that one. Nice way for them to try get people like the top pro's of SA to compete and not pay the full price for them!!! (If i read correctly, they are only sponsoring Max Knox to go) Just the flight is more costly than the top award. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie VR Posted June 17, 2015 Share I'm sure the riders' sponsors are willing to pay way more for that results if they compete in their sponsored jerseys. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted June 17, 2015 Share you know what it all fairness it is a step in the right direction. but peanuts in comparison to what other sporting federations throw around. to be frank I would rather they send double the number of South African Representatives than carrot dangling like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted June 17, 2015 Share Or a 3 night stay in Nkandla.Jokes aside, this is great, and it is the direction where things need to be going. When I was a laaitie in High School, there was nothing like this. Now the school kids can see that this whole bicycle malarkey is not bad, and they can dream about a career in cycling with way better prospects than I had. This type of thinking is what we need to keep the hope alive, and it WILL have an impact on the next generation. At the 95 Rugby World Cup the SA guys were playing for peanuts. 20 years later and it is a viable career. In 20 years if a Saffa wins a worlds marathon champ, remember what PhilipV wrote here. PS: Don't forget Greg Minnaar's achievements. Hairy, Jaco-fiets, Bat and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
