Once again proved that the southern tip of Africa can produce cyclists that are able to mix it up with the best in the world, Meintjes won silver in the under 23 road race at the 2013 UCI World Championships in Italy.<\/p>\n

Brad Brown from Cycle Talk SA caught up with Meintjes following his second, to chat a little about the race, life on the European circuit as well as the future of Team MTN Qhubeka. Brad also asked Louis if there has been interest from some of the big teams to sign him.<\/p>\n
