Kinda feel for Kent Main(Unless he made himself unavailable), But he is the 2nd ranked rider on the African Continent in terms of UCI Points only behind Ryan Gibbons and he hasn't gotten the call up.

Not sure of the selection process/criteria but if anyone is in the know, Would be great to get some insight.

looking quickly at his results, it's probably because no one looks at the africa tour points over the world tour points. he had a good 4th at africa champs in feb but recently hasn't really got great returns

 it's also about actually building a squad, and that gibbons would be our key rider here. meintjes probably has the most points from his TdF result alone, but he's never going to Flanders for anything but waffles.

One also has to take into consideration the course profile.

World champs is more suited to your classics style rider.

That said, being a one day event, anything can happen.
