nigelhicks Posted September 8, 2016 Share yeah...i realise that - but then take the photo when they all together Greg does not stay with the team ... he stays with the Syndicate at Worlds ... if you look at all the Worlds pictures from previous years neither Minnaar or Needles are in the pics as they are with their respective trade teams ... Although Pottie and Stefan are on teams they are essentially "privateers" so can gain from the funding for accommodation and meals etc supplied by CSA for worlds. Its the same in the pits at Worlds ... as the Syndicate have paid for a stand Greg Pits there and not with the SA team who pit out of a small trailer with a single gazebo ...

nigelhicks Posted September 8, 2016 Share Neethling? Didnt make the selection criteria based on UCI and CSA regulations. ... This has brought about a rethink in the criteria - which I personally think is needed for SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
