Marc Pritzen stormed to victory at the SA National Road Championships in Swellendam last Sunday, claiming both the elite and U23 road race titles.
The win for 21-year-old Pritzen, who rides for Qhubeka-Assos’ UCI Continental team based in Lucca, Italy, saw him claim the biggest victory of his career to date.
A former winner of the 947 Ride Joburg as well as a stage victor at the Tour of Good Hope in 2019, Pritzen will now wear the South African jersey when he returns to Europe.
Having had a few days to reflect Pritzen revisited his victory and detailed his emotions when crossing the line.
