Odinson Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Edit: On a serious note, these guys may be serious contenders for the Epic title, as there may not be a particularly strong field, as it is an Olympic year.
AllAboutRides Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 AWESOME!!!!! Wishing my to favorite MTBers all the best!!!!!
Jaco-fiets Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Very happy for them!!! Any news on Johan Rabie for next year?
MEYER1 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Watch the space about Rabie some interesting things coming. Â
Jaco-fiets Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 In my opinion Rabie is probably the best rider in the country if you take the amount of training he puts in (not much at all I am made to believe) compared to the results he gets. Imagine if he actually starts training 10hr+ per week MEYER1 1
Ryanpmb Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Always a bit of downer to hear of SA teams competing for the African Leaders Jerseys... as if we've given up hope of actually winning... I understand the whole focus on one goal thing and direct your efforts towards this but these guys (and other SA (African) teams) are world class and need to believe in themselves to win this SOUTH AFRICAN race.  Good luck to the guys. I hope they achieve their goals, and more... Oufy MTB (Roadie) and Jaco-fiets 2
Rick Sanchez Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 A question of sponsorship and support I guess. A small, local team just can't compete with these European teams, it seems
raptor-22 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Edit: On a serious note, these guys may be serious contenders for the Epic title, as there may not be a particularly strong field, as it is an Olympic year.  Pro field to be finalised in January and announced with the next newsletter according to yesterday's newsletter. Rumor is a strong pro field due to the late start of the XCO season on the 23rd/24th April.Also only 6 XCO events next year 23/24 April 2016 Cairns Australia21/22 May Albstadt Germany28/29 May La Bresse France9/10 July Lenzerheide Switzerland6/7 August Mont St Anne Canada3/4 September Valnoord Andorra Edited December 16, 2015 by raptor-22
Chris NewbyFraser Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The team owner, Japie, is a top level rally driver in a fully imported Ford costing about five bar. I wonder of the boys will get a chance to rally for him? 200kp/h on forest roads we ride on - now that is racing!
Shebeen Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 There go the NADs?a poster campaign "GO NADS" would be a winner for the prologue
Shebeen Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Hard to see the synergies between mtb and the company. Lots of malls in low LSM areas, but I guess tenants might just be in their target market. http://www.nad.bz/about-us.htm Always good to see new sponsors join the market
