A South African under 23 squad has been selected to ride in five of the most prestigious events in Europe, collectively known as the World Cup des Nations.


Riders? performances in these events will determine the number of riders their respective countries qualify for the World Championships but, more importantly, it affords the youngsters an opportunity like never before to get noticed in Europe and go onto greater things as part of established European professional outfits.


The team consists of Hanco Kachelhoffer, Johan Rabie, Pieter Seyffert, Christoff van Heerden, Jay Thomson and Shaun Davel. The two reserves are Juan van Heerden and Nolan Hoffmann.


They will race in the Tour de La Cote Picardi (18/4), Liege-Bastagna-Liege (21/4), the Giro Della Regioni (26/4 - 1/5), the Thuringen Rundfaht (12/6-17/6), the GP Tell (22/8-26/8) and the Tour de L?Avenir (6/9-15/9).


The team will be based in Belgiumon> under the leadership of John Robertson and his Konica Minolta back-up team.

I would have liked to see John-Lee in there but I guess he is sorted with his Barloworld contract.

Agreed Clap - A very well structured team, John-lee isn't in there though, pity, but otherwise great!

John-Lee isn't U23 anymore - Once you sign with Pro Tour / Pro Continental teams you automatically become an elite. If he races SA's he'll also have to ride with the elites.

Great & geluk-   vir die ryers wat kan gaan- dis nou 'n kans om daar ver waar dit saak maak te wys dat ons SA ryers die mas kan opkom...ten spyte van al die negatiewe kommentaar.

Wel - hoop Jaco Venter & Jacques van Rensburg kry later in die jaar ook die voorreg om te kan gaan.

Anyone know more specifics? What are they doing between the races (some big gaps there) and what do they mean by 'reserves'?

Ek dink mens moet nie vinger wys nie en na resuls oorsee kyk. Dit is ook waar mense soos shaun Davel al deur en deur homself bewys het en meeste van die tye top van die teams gefinish het. Verder is die hele team n goeie span en glo hulle gaan gat skop

Dit gaan nie net oor wie races wen nie, jy kan nie sien hoe hard die res van die ouens in n span werk sodat sy team kan wen!!

Wel Ridley as jy Pieter Seyffert op die Egypt toer gesien het sal jy weet hoekom hy in die span is. En hy't 'n 3de plek op 1 van die stages gekry op die toer.
