Nedbank sponsors CAC MTB African Championships

Sport Reporter
The 2022 Confederation of African Cycling (CAC) MTB African Championships is taking place this Saturday, 23 April, at the IJG Trails in Windhoek’s Kleine Kuppe.

The most prestigious mountain biking event of the year in the Cross-Country Olympic discipline on the African continent will be hosted by the Namibian Cycling Federation (NCF), with Nedbank Namibia as the official sponsor.

The event will see cyclists compete in categories ranging from under-12 to elite men and women for top honours. It is expected to attract cyclists from over 10 African countries who will compete for title of 2022 African Continental Champion.

Held under the license of the CAC, and the cycling governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the event will be officiated by chief commissaire Johan Groenewald from South Africa, World Cycling Centre Africa director and CAC/UCI technical delegate Jean-Pierre van Zyl, and Drug-Free Sport official Sven-Ingo Linke from Germany.

South Africa, Mauritius, Tunisia, Kenya, Lesotho and Morocco have already confirmed their participation in the race. With entries still open, the NCF expects 120 cyclists to compete in the UCI races and around 250 cyclists in total.
