A number of South African Para-cyclists are set to represent the country at the 2015 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands from March 26 to 29.

Among the highly experienced riders selected to represent South Africa at Apeldoorn are C5 arm amputee rider Dane Wilson and C4 classed rider with a cerebral palsy-type disability Roxy Burns.
Para-cyclists Juan Odendaal and Craig Ridgard will represent South Africa for the first time at a track World Championships.
Based on 2014 international racing achievements the current projection is that South African Para-cycling is likely to secure four men and two women slots for Rio 2016.
These statistics provide a massive incentive for the four riders competing at the Para-cycling Track World Championships to stake a claim to the slots that will be on offer.
