Elite rider Kyle Dodd is enjoying the Durban-like weather and the vibe at the track. \u201cThe vibe here is great with so many people smiling and a lot of South Americans making a lot of noise. I\u2019m going out there this weekend to do my best, and my main goal is to make a quarterfinal and from there progress as far as possible. For now, I\u2019m keeping focused and doing my sprints whilst helping out the other South African riders with anything they need on their race days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Part of Team Management and Masters competitor, Tyrone Johns, spoke of his Colombian experience so far. \u201cColombia has been an experience of note \u2013 after a very long flight we made it to an incredible hotel that has everything we need. One of the hardest things over here is to communicate, as very few people speak English and we don\u2019t speak Spanish, so miscommunication happens a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johns said that Tom Ritz built the track, the same builder of the Giba Gorge combination track, which has a lot of similar features and suits the South Africans\u2019 riding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe atmosphere is great at the track and the Colombians do know how to party so the music is loud and the crowd is loud,\u201d continued Johns. \u201cThe racing is going to be fast and tough as we don’t get to race a lot of South Americans often. It\u2019s going to be interesting and I am really relishing the opportunity to represent my country again and make everyone at home proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kyle Dodd, Tyrone Johns and Tim O\u2019Brien were selected for the National Team. Congratulations on your selection and good luck to all the riders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
