All things Team Qhubeka NextHash

I hope NextHash is not another Rich Energy type sponsor.....

Based on the CyclingTips article on NextHash, I'd say it is pretty likely to be the case

block chain start-ups just seem like gamblers to me

[Yyyy]

NextHash deal did seem risky but what about Assos. Did that contract change once NextHash came on board.

 

Sorry to see this happen to Africa's only WT team. Cant imagine they going to attract talent with this kind of publicity.

not too surprising but incredibly sad

what, but NextHash said they were in for 5 years?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just because they couldn't pay salaries the next month surely they're good for it?!!!

 

suppose this weekend is a huge one for the team. might need a big result from these guys to open the door for 2022.

I'm guessing this didn't actually mean anything in the end either.

Burberry Qhubeka in 2022!

Here is the team shirt.

Some other forums overseas reckon with the UCI now hosting a World Champs for Gravel, that they will regulate the size of the blocks.

surely that's it for Africa's WT team?

 

no hail mary fireworks over the weekend (well done victor for chasing the break and max for that wipeout once in it)

What sort of a rabbit can doug pull out of his hat here?

will a big result from a 38 yr old pozzovivo at il lombardia even do anything?

Maybe drop down to PC level?

11 October

The Qhubeka-NextHash team is still looking to stay in the pelotons in 2022. According to Cyclingnews, the management is currently looking for new partners and rumours of new sponsor start to circulate. In order to maintain a WorldTour license for next year the team needs to supply their initial paperwork to the UCI by October 15, and sports director Lars Michaelsen is in a race against time.

Doug must just man up and sell a stake in the team to Premier Tech.

surely there's something concrete going on behind the scenes. It was a while ago that riders were told they could go, and they have mostly been tjoepstil. looking at our guys alone, RJVR might get a ride somewhere, I'm not sure about where Nic Dlamini would go, I'd like to think he would get a decent chance somewhere 

 

contracted to 2022

I like this idea
