Saw this on article today, Looks like SA racing is picking up with 4 Continental SA Teams next year.

 

"But with the addition of the aforementioned three teams the country will boast four from next year."

Sharper this is not teg racing but another team, Team vandergroup

Vander group has signed a few big names. The rest of our local teams will now be very different. New winners at all the races from next year.

Don't see it as being new winners just the regulars with different kit.

 

I genuinely hope this is sustainable so that the racing level picks up as well and spills over into the ladies side as well.

this has got to be good for racing all round

For sure they will, our local season is so staggered that they will all compete locally as well

I see a convicted doper that is 10 years older than his team mates............. and is still one of the fastest okes we got in this country.

Are they allowed to? How does the whole UCI license thing work?

I would love to agree with this statement but where - unless you are on one of the major teams - office protouch or bcx as a sprinter you have no chance - you just fighting a losing battle here
