<\/a>Clint Hendricks, Bestmed Berge en Dale Championship runner-up last year, will be one of the RoadCover riders to watch next weekend. Photo: Nic White<\/span><\/p>\nLast year the outfit filled the top three places in the 102km road classic at the Cradlestone Mall in Muldersdrift on the West Rand and manager Nic White said they were looking for another good performance on February 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe finished off 2016 nicely by taking the Double Century win in the Western Cape and the guys did well in the recent Mpumalanga Cycle Tour, so we are very pleased with that,\u201d said White.<\/p>\n
Jock Cycle Tour champion Willie Smit added the Mpumalanga general classification to his resume, with teammate Brendon Davids \u2013 who won the 947 Cycle Challenge in November \u2013 a handy second.<\/p>\n
With the South African Road Championships taking place the week after the Berge en Dale, White said it would be a good examination for the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this time of year there is a lot of preparation for the SA champs (in Wellington from February 7 to 12) so it\u2019s a little bit of a tester to do the Berge en Dale,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obviously not similar to racing in the Cape, but it\u2019s a fairly challenging route and our guys will be aiming to do well. It\u2019s the last race before the national champs so it\u2019s a good time to do some sharpening up.\u201d<\/p>\n
