Riding the bikes since late last year, till last week, in Team Telkom colours Lange says, \u201cThey\u2019re really enjoying them, plus they\u2019re already winning \u2013 we\u2019ve only lost two races this year!\u201d He adds, \u201cI had heard a lot about SwiftCarbon. Knowing Mark, and actually riding a Swift myself, I can say it\u2019s no surprise that these are awesome bikes.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the road side, they\u2019ll be targeting the country\u2019s biggest races, the likes of the Cape Town Cycle Tour, Telkom 947 Cycle Challenge and Tsogo Sun Amashova. Accomplished sprinter Nolan Hoffman is no doubt the star of the team, as South Africa\u2019s most successful road and track sprinter over the past few years. Hoffman likes the idea of riding a bike with a South African connection, and says, \u201cThis is the best transition between bikes I have ever had. I am normally very fussy with my set up and I got it right very easily \u2013 the geometry is perfect. I enjoy the handling a lot and when you pedal it goes, very stiff at the BB.\u201d <\/p>\n
He has a multitalented team roster to back him up. David Maree, Reynard Butler, Steven van Heerden, Wesley Eslick (who\u2019s just returned from a racing stint in the US) and Calvin Beneke (son of South Africa racing legend Gary Beneke). When not on trail duty, mountain bikers HB Kruger and Waylon Woolcock will be on hand to bolster the ranks. <\/p>\n
