    This was the African Championships, FF.

    One of my men too. Was in 2011 edition of this race that I first heard of him. Thought he'd be a TT rider then... well, what do I know.

    2 Eritreans in top 10 - so much talent in that country - they love the sport - thought more Italian teams would pick them up (let's not get political ) both those two have had spells with French teams

    (Kudus 21)

    But, but, but....
    Meintjes is MY MAN! None of this "anyone with an E in their name" or similar nonsense.
    Thanks for posting the photo. Good to see him win this after he lost the SA champs the other day. Just a pity that there is no African Champ's jersey to replace that awful MTN effort he's now got to wear...
    Onwards and upwards, Louis!

    I reserve the right to draft in any other MTN-Qhubeka rider at any point, I believe I've earnt it, though I may draw the line at Theo Bos.
