The season opens with a double event, where points can be earned for both the National Series and the Western Cape Provincial Series. The National Series offers all-important Category 1 UCI points and forms part of the UCI Junior World Series. Local and international competitors alike will be looking to garner points to boost their rankings early in the season. Western Cape riders will enjoy a competitive start to the year with top racers, both local and international. Sunday 3 February: A second day of racing has been lined up for Junior and Elite Riders. This day forms part of the SA Cup Series and is an opportunity for individual riders to up their UCI points. But, we encourage all SA riders to race on Sunday as the points that they earn will contribute to raise the standing of TEAM SA. TEAM SA needs these points in order to qualify to send a team to take part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.Go to Event Page Farrnus and Ferro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
