Junior cycling teams

Cool so your FTP is 295W, putting your power to weight ratio at 5.37W/Kg impressive, very impressive!

You must just double check with someone who knows better if the 0.95% of 20min effort is applicable to someone as young as you though. I would assume that there might be a bit less endurance during ones teens.

Thanks a lot. will definitely find out if the 0.95 is applicable

Hi I'm a junior so I have an idea about most of the current structures, at the moment in sa there is no real support with most teams only really being clubs. The best is to join one of the clubs that has more racers so that you can ride together and start learning how to race as a team.

I agree with MrDLR

 

Start your own junior group at club level, take it from there....

Any ideas on a really good club besides europcar. In jhb. The Europcar academy is way too full

[MrDLR]

There isn't really a lot of other choices at the moment but there are a few small clubs that have one or two younger riders so I'd suggest talking to a few guys you often see at races and get a group together you can also try getting a few friends to start riding and start your own team it's not easy but that's how Europcar started and I have to agree with you we have grown and we need a bit of competition as we are sometimes just racing ourselves as there aren't really any other teams.

HI Irshaad 

 

If you are out in the South, have you considered contacting the VWE track academy, they train at hector norris park in wemmerpan. 

 

Your best bet to get things going and really make a difference in your riding is to start riding on the track, many young riders are racing there who continuously feature on the road and MTB scene and it will also get you into a group of like minded people who love developing young raw talent.

 

if you need any details drop me a PM.

 

Enjoy it
