snah2 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Look at 10 years ago and look at now.Just to name a few.. MTB we have Minnaar and Burry very much on top in the world stage.Evans biting at their heels. Konica in States and Neotel in the East making a definite statement. Hunter and John-Lee in TDF! Torino 6-day track we were there! A Tortius in women"s Giro at the moment. Is this the start of greater things to come??...!!
slowpoke Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 snah2, i certainly hope so - our boys and girls are making us proud so i hope they continue to do so!
Racing Hart Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Also remember worldsview and dome 2 dome, how the giro has grown. World B champs last year. World junior champs this year. Possible World elite/u23 champs in the near future? The U23 team performing in nations cupRacing Hart2008-07-08 00:04:23
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 We have a round of the BMX World Cup in Pmb next year and the BMX World Champs there the following year. A round of the XC/DH/4X MTB World Cup will be held in Pmb over the next three years with the possibility of the 2012 World's being there. The Tour of SA should happen next year (2.1 UCI event I think) and the Giro may be upgraded from 2.2 to 2.1. Exciting times for cycling in SA!
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 We should give CSA credit here. Mostly we find it easier to criticise than compliment them. But there is clearly plenty of good work being done by CSA.
BMCfan Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 A big for CSA and other parties working hard behind the scenes I would love to see the ToSA realizing!!!!!
scotty Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Great at marketing SA but are those riders doing so well because of CSA or despite them.

Pieter Henning Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 .... watched and still waiting!!!!!!!!! what did I miss' date=' as I think I fell asleep[/quote'] The Pro Tour is coming to SA in 2010.
Old school Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Which Race/Tour in SA will be part of the Pro Tour?
Chrispy Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Trust Arnie to stuff up such an important announcement.What I could gather was that the Worldsview races becomes part of the ProTour on 2010.
jabbathemutt007 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 .... watched and still waiting!!!!!!!!! what did I miss' date=' as I think I fell asleep[/quote'] The Pro Tour is coming to SA in 2010. What Pro Tour ?
Jean-Jay Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I am overseas atm, so does that count as a SA cyclist going international?
