Jase619 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Because, contrary to what some on the Hub believe, South Africa is not the k@kest place in the world. And that the roads aren't as dangerous as some mountain bikers believe either.
SwissVan Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Quote from the news 24 article “Last April top Italian rider Michele Scarponi was killed in a road accident near his home” https://m.sport24.co.za/OtherSport/Cycling/International/top-cycling-pair-hit-by-truck-in-sa-accident-20180126 Shyte knows no boundaries Hope they received good medical care
Bos Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 possibly they come here because the owner of Quick Step has close ties to SA - he owns Klein Constantia wine farm - he encourages them to come out here for the CTCT etc but this happens everywhereThey come here because its raining and freezing back in Belgium & the rest of Europe right about now.
Bateleur1 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Where did the accident happen? Nelspruit area.

kingalton Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Same reason Mo Farrah trains in Kenya and Ethihopia.The lack of doping controls??
Pure Savage Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Its cheap to come to SA compared to Mallorca, that is probably their main reason.
Chris NewbyFraser Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Very nice comment made to the media by Bob Jungels. Says the decision to train in SA was a good one and that accidents with vehicles happen everywhere. Thanks Bob

Wet Ears Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 And that the roads aren't as dangerous as some mountain bikers believe either. Not going to take your word on that one - will stay firmly in the dirt thanks!
eddy Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah. Uhm.... no. Sorry, SA is still the k@kist place to be. No need to apologise. Your lack of insight is a perfect defence.

Spend a year there and be sure to post on the "where has your bike taken you today" thread. Can't wait to see the awesome bike parks, weather and responsible drivers.
