NCCS Pro Cycling team to compete in two tours

The NCCS Pupkewitz Pro Cycling team will compete in the Tour of Good Hope and the Cape Town Cycle Tour in South Africa next month.The Tour of Good Hope is a five-day road race for solo riders and teams. It takes place in the Cape Winelands from 4 to 8 March.The annual Cape Town Cycle Tour is hosted in Cape Town and usually covers 109 kilometres. The tour attracts over 35 000 cyclists, making it the world's largest individually timed cycle race. It will take place on 10 March.Jacob Kiyola, NCCS Pro Cycling's principal and communications manager, said that competing in these races will help riders gain much-needed experience in international competitions, as well as Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) points.“We want to see how well we can compete with other teams continentally,” Kiyola said.He added they have assembled a team of riders from their stable and other teams because their goal is to become the first Namibian team to compete internationally in the near future.Kiyola said exposing themselves to these competitions will help them grow as a team.“We have prepared our team very well and we are hopeful that they will give a good account of ourselves while competing in Cape Town,” he said.He added the team is still in need of financial support to help them reach their goal of travelling to South Africa.The NCCS Pupkewitz Pro Cycling team travelling to Cape Town on 1 March is made up of Dan Craven (captain), Chipopeni Kashululu, Xavier Renzo Papo, Danzel Dekoe, Johannes Hamunyela and Thulazizwe Mxenge. Kiyola and Ebben Iita are the team managers and sport directors.NAMPA
