Shebeen Posted May 18, 2021 Share it seems this might actually even happen, so let's have a dedicated thread. for MTB qualifying is over and countries taking slots and team selections will be the order of the day. this appears to be updated as we speak(9 times today already) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_–_Qualification#Mountain_biking We could have up to 10 riders there, BUT doubt SASCOC will select so many.

TNT1 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Of course, I think there's a real chance the games will be postponed or cancelled still. Comrade J and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlamini likely our best shot at the medals but then also not. https://www.cyclingstage.com/summer-olympics-2021/route-road-race-tokyo-2021/ Course looks like a climbers/allrounders course so its in the Bernal/Pidcock/MVDP/WVA/Julien Alaphillipe territory. I don' thin the men have a hope in hell of a medal but I'd still send at least two for representation and their proffessional development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks to be peaking at the right time and his results are improving. He's outracing Brasil's best chance at the moment so he's more a contender than not. Ranked 9th in the UCI world rankings at the moment. He's almost right in there. We can but dream of Gold Vetplant, Yyyy and OVERDRIVE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meintjes rocked up with just Impey and got a 7th in Rio 22sec down, (granted with a top10 at TdF that year). olympics always seems to be a weird road race DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
