“We are expecting to get the best riders in the country at the national championships in two weeks,” said Central Commissioner for track cycling in Gauteng Angela Scullard.
Elite cyclists such as Nolan Hoffman and Morne van Niekerk as well as Maroesjka Matthee in the ladies and sprinters like Jean Smith are expected to set a high level of competition.
Cycling SA has permitted provinces, teams and clubs to enter for the team events and riders will be able to qualify for points for major international competitions.
“Hosting the event in Johannesburg does bring with it the difference in conditions compared to the rest of the country, which will play a role for a number of the riders that are coming to the Highveld from the coast,” said Scullard.
