“Its always great to race at home and be able to win in front of my home crowd, especially a SA title. I’m pretty pleased with my performances here and I’m starting to find some very good form. I am very focused for the upcoming road races and really looking forward to the rest of this season.” said Hoffman.
“I’m very pleased with how the guys have turned things around. Even though Lost City was not a great result it was a much improved team effort. David rode incredibly well this past weekend on the track to finish second and the boys are training hard in Franschoek. It’s going to be a busy month September, with Dome on the seventh, a race in Swaziland on the 14th and the four GoWest Crits as well as Race4Victory.” said team principal Dean Edwards.
