It will be interesting to see SA racers in the next year or two following the great work Spur has done with supporting school racing and these youngsters getting out of the school leagues and racing for provincial coloursĀ peetwindhoek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just exactly how long ago was your last XCO race? Perhaps check the next one in 4 weeks time, it will be the Provincial Champs so there will be riders from all corners of the Western Cape.

You could feel his pain yesterday for like two laps he was leaving gaps and then crawling his way back until he just couldn't anymore. Such hard work will pay off.

kosmonooit Posted May 9, 2022 Share Those must have been the 'personal changes' Becky was talking about in Brasil, perhaps its given her a new lease of life and impetus to move forward, although they have come a long way together,Ā Remember when they weren't renewed with Trek and basically put together their own team, with minimal budget, out ofĀ car boot type operation. Then during the epidemic they stayed in Europe, with little income. Must have been tough. New coach, team, whatever, she was unbeatable. Talking couples, have seen much of Julian on his ebike, PfP did change teams though > BMC K8 down in 46, eish what happened, I still think it might have something to do with overachievement on arrival in Elites, and the weight of expectations thereafter.
