But a lot can happen before the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fouch\u00e9 said his teammates each had a number of race victories under their belts and they would have \u201ca few cards to play\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf all else fails, then only do we decide to run for a sprint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old said his own form had been constant over the past few months, starting with a win on the longest stage of the Mzansi Tour in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had the GoWest criterium series last week, which has given us that extra sharpness for this weekend\u2019s racing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For live updates from the race, find Campus2Campus SuperClassic on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Campus2Campus-SuperClassic\/1518347058379010\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> or follow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/C2C_Classic\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@C2C_Classic<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sprinter Herman Fouch\u00e9 will be going flat out for a hat-trick of wins when he lines up at the Bestmed Campus2Campus Super Classic in Potchefstroom on Sunday.
