Motivation Monday 🚴🧡

Every ride starts with a choice: to show up, to stay disciplined, and to keep moving forward—even when it's tough.

Success isn't built in a single training session or race. It's earned through the small, consistent efforts made day after day. Trust the process, embrace the challenge, and remember that every pedal stroke brings you one step closer to your goals.

Here's to another week of hard work, determination, and chasing excellence.

Stay focused. Stay hungry. Keep pushing.

💪 Strong riders aren't built by chance—they're built by consistency.

Success on race day starts long before the start line. Prioritise strength training, practice your race nutrition, and remember that recovery is where your body gets stronger.

The small things you do every day make the biggest difference when it matters most.

🚴 Train smart.
🍌 Fuel right.
😴 Recover stronger.

Ride with purpose. Race with confidence.

The Amashova National Classic is one of the toughest races on the South African calendar and remains one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious events, making it a race every rider wants to perform well in.

Racing began at an incredibly high pace, with attacks flying from the opening kilometres before, during, and after the iconic Fox Hill climb—a section that has historically played a decisive role in shaping the outcome of the race. James and Simon rode attentively throughout this phase, ensuring the team was represented in the key moves while fighting to stay at the front as the race split over the climb.
Unfortunately, we missed the breakaway that ultimately established itself at the front of the race, forcing us onto the back foot for much of the day.

With approximately 35 kilometres remaining, it became clear there was still an opportunity to bring the race back together and contest the remaining podium positions in a bunch sprint.
Simon put in a tremendous effort on the front of the peloton, working alongside riders from several other teams to steadily reduce the advantage of the breakaway. Their commitment paid off as the escape was gradually reeled in, leaving just a single rider clear of the bunch and setting the stage for a sprint to decide the remaining podium places.

The finale was typically fast and chaotic, with riders battling fiercely for position over the closing kilometres. Despite the intensity of the finish, James delivered an exceptional sprint, crossing the line fourth in the bunch to secure fifth place overall.

With only two riders on the start line, James and Simon produced a performance to be proud of. They raced with determination, remained committed to the team objective throughout the day, and demonstrated that they could compete against teams with significantly greater numbers. While the podium narrowly eluded us, their effort and professionalism throughout the race reflected the strength and character of the team.

KNYSNA CYCLE TOUR 2026

A strong performance from the team today at the Knysna Cycle Tour, one of the toughest one-day races on the calendar. With a course that doesn’t naturally suit our riders, the team executed the race exceptionally well and came away with an outstanding result.

From the opening kilometres, James Swart and Simon Ferreira were instrumental in covering attacks and ensuring we were represented in every significant move. Their work allowed us to race aggressively while keeping ourselves in the best possible position as the race unfolded. As expected, however, no move was able to establish a decisive advantage before the iconic Karatara climb.

When the race hit Karatara, the pace immediately ramped up. Brad Gouveris responded to every acceleration and was one of only four riders to crest the climb at the front. The quartet committed fully, working seamlessly together to establish a substantial gap over the chasing group.

The race was ultimately decided on the final climb, where the lead group was reduced to just three riders, with Brad still firmly in contention for the victory. After an aggressive ride and a huge effort throughout the day, he fought all the way to the line to secure an excellent 3rd place.

Behind the leaders, Kellan Gouveris produced an impressive sprint to win the bunch finish and claim 4th place overall, capping off a memorable day for the team.

To come away with 3rd and 4th place on a course that doesn’t favour our strengths is a testament to the commitment, teamwork and determination shown by every rider. The ex*****on throughout the day was first class, and it’s encouraging to see the form already building.

It’s great to have the boys back racing, and today’s result provides plenty of confidence as we look ahead to an exciting spring campaign.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the team. We’ll keep building, keep improving, and we’ll be back on the start line ready for the next challenge.
