@grootlem Posted September 26, 2017 Share a very small % of riders become WT pro's. And of them a small % are or are allowed to be winners. Maybe Willie becomes a super domestique for Zakarin in the GT's or work for Kittell in Classics. That is also great. And maybe once a year he is allowed to get into a break and get a good result. Im ok with that, HE IS GOING TO LIVE HIS DREAM. Gen, pe3nguin, Nibali and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@grootlem Posted September 26, 2017 Share I am just as proud of Meintjes racing in the top 10 whom CSA send on R5000pm to stay Belgium as a 19 year old (when he had offers from local teams to race locally for more money) as I am of Jay T that hardly wins a race but the commentators talk about him as one of the strongest domestiques out there. Or Jaco or Jacques or Ash amongst others which CSA supported to try and make the dream a reality. Gen and Bankie99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe3nguin Posted September 26, 2017 Share Did Willie sign a 2 year deal ??Assuming he is considered a neo-pro (which I imagine he has to be), two year deals are a minimum. Edited September 26, 2017 by pe3nguin Pure Savage and Popit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibali Posted September 26, 2017 Share So glad for Willie! I saw some of the sacrifices he made in first year at res (can't count the amount of times I walked in from a night out while he was on the way out for a bike ride) and even though he got a lot of flack for it, he kept his head down and kept going at it. Well deserved and super excited to see him on the biggest stage! mtgoat, Long Wheel Base, Andrew Steer and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
