ProTouch today named their nine-man Continental team for 2019.
They announced in July that they would be registering a Continental side for next year in an attempt to get South Africa back to the number one spot in the UCI Africa Tour rankings.

The team said in a statement today that they would participate in SA as well as UCI African and Asian tours next year.
The Johannesburg-based team kick-started their campaign when they took part in the Tour du Rwanda in August.
They have reportedly already received invitations to five African tours, including a return to the Rwandan tour.
The nine-man squad is as follows:
Pieter Seyffert (captain)
Reynard Butler
James Fourie
Jayde Julius
Myles van Musschenbroek
Mitchell Eliot
Songezo Jim
Rohan du Plooy
Mornay van Heerden
Tony Harding will be the team’s sport director.
