I think Byron Munton may have just secured 3rd Overall on GC. Needed just 2 seconds out of today’s ITT.

Gibbons announces that this will be his last year as a world tour pro:

This will be a loss to SA's international footprint but totally understandable. Hopefully Ryan keeps riding the locally. Hopefully Stefan can make the step up to world tour next year. On another note, I see Louis is riding the Vuelta. Hopefully he gets a stage there.

31, maybe had a few more years but when it's time, it's time.

The constant visa issues is always a struggle (or so I'm told) for those with only the green mamba.

Possibility exists that we only have AHatherly in the world tour next year, if that actually counts.

this was a low ranking event, no one in the top250 there, but you got to race whoever shows up.

AH wins SA sportsman of the year.

CSA were finalists for Federation of the year, guessing that is mostly due to the stellar results from AH and Candice - but happy to be wrong.

I dont think it has anything to do with the riders...

The Federation of the Year award recognizes the outstanding performance and contribution of national governing bodies in sports.

That was my sarcasm not coming through then, happy to hear more about the outstanding performance of CSA as a federation.

I saw speculation on Instagram he will be joining that new Modern Adventure Pro Cycling Team with US background cofounded by Hincapie.

It sounds like they want to nurture home grown US talent but they could use the experience of Stefan in their ranks so that would be cool for him considering it doesnt look like he has penned a deal for 2026 yet.

Not too shabby for Tyler's 1st outing for his new team. Total of 4 Saffas at this race.
