Who are these blokes from South Africa? This is probably what the

British riders asked themselves on Saturday morning when Ian van der

Walt and his four riders from DCM Chrome arrived at Margam Park (Wales)

for the third event in the British Mountain-bike series.

It took

Brandon Stewart, Rourke Croeser, Travis Walker and Candice Neethling

only 48 hours to demonstrate to the British that there are South

Africans who know how to win mountain-bike races.

Of the six

races (cross-country and marathon), in which the DCM Chrome riders

competed, they won four and achieved 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 9th places. The

team owner, Ian van der Walt, watched with an ever broadening smile as

his riders crossed the finishing line.

We need more people like Ian van der

Walt in South Africa to take our young cycling talent abroad. Well done to Ian van der

Walt and his DCM Chrome Team of riders. All the posts on the Hub with regard to payment issues with DCM Chrome; there are so many people working for him and there will always be a bad apple, which unfortunately give companies and people doing their job a bad name. I wish we had more individuals with deep pockets as Ian van der

Walt in SA with as much passion in cycling he is showing  to take young talent and make International stars out of them, cause that is what he is attempting to do by the look of things. Just my 2c.

Agreed. Big up to DCM Chrome for the team of youngsters that they have assembled. I think it is awesome that these talented juniors are getting international exposure already. Really well done to all involved.
