Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka presents Tour de France team

[Wez-O]

Louis made the right move to Lampre,

 

He would be carrying Cav's bottle if he were in this team.

100% true

 

Rumour has it he is leading Lampre Merida with Costa attacking for stage wins.

anybody has the names / nationality of the full Dimension Data team (besides the riders) - specifically referring to members behind the spotlight - team manager / doctor / bus driver / chef / bike mechanic(s) etc.

Holly smokes.  Can you imagine the wage bill?  You need some serious sponsors to keep you going.

Doesn't DD have Deep Pockets?

I'm not too focused on South African head count

What is fundamentally important is African representation

 

GO DIDATA!!!!

[xcd]

DDD has given Africans an opotunity to ride in a WT team in the top races in the world. It is upto them to proof they are good enough to make the team for the TdF. The best form riders that suite the goals of the team must be chosen. You can't afford to have passengers in a race like the TdF. What amazes me is when the springboks are chosen people criticize the selectors for not choosing the best and rather going for quoters but with DDD some hubbers want SA riders to be chosen even though they have not shown anything the whole year. Jaco Venter rode the Giro and I don't think he is upto doing another Grand Tour so close. I would of loved to have seen SA colours in the TdF.

The other PROs will shine in the Vuelta - gotta manage those resources with care

 

They're not machines

I can guess about 3 south africans, 4 if you count Douglas Ryder.

 

On that list there are 9 South Africans... (our TdF chef this year will also be a Saffa, Lindsey.) 

 

13 African riders on WT Team

 

10 African riders on CT Team

 

4 South Africans on CT staff

 

So that's 36 Africans on the team.

[HappyMartin]

Anyway so what. Who cares. It's an African team. You want people to be chosen on merit or on a quota? When quotas are mentioned with the Sprinbok team people have a flipping fit. Now we want a quotas for Aafricans in DDD. Makes no sense to me.

Roger Federer is more African than Team Dimension Data.
