<\/a><\/p>\nWe are highly motivated to embark on this new journey, and to ride the unridden roads for African cycling, with the Qhubeka Charity as the motivation behind our mission. In Dimension Data, Deloitte, and Cerv\u00e9lo among all others we have passionate partners, incredible in their professionalism and dedicated in their support of our team.<\/p>\n
There is much in store for the 2016 season, for the team, our partners, and our fans. We take on the new year with big and bold goals which include measuring our performance by the number of lives we will change through our ongoing support of our #BicyclesChangeLives campaign, with sporting goals for the Classics, the Grand Tours and some week-long stage races.<\/p>\n
Douglas Ryder, Team Principal said: \u201c2016 becomes our biggest step up in our team\u2019s existence, the 1st division or WorldTour in cycling requires depth and consistency and I am confident that our riders and staff are ready for this incredible challenge. Most importantly we have been fortunate to receive support from the most incredible partners in so many areas and on so many levels on and off the bike. Our partners will help this team move forward successfully and ensure that the Qhubeka Charity remains at the forefront of everything we do as we continue to accelerate the ambitions of African cycling and make an impact that matters in the communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
