Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung continued its preparation for the UCI World Team Time Trial Championships on the Mugello Circuit in Firenze yesterday.
All the biggest teams in the world will contest the event and a good result is a major target for Africa’s first Professional Continental team.
The team would like to thank the Mugello Circuit for the invite to the highly quality racing track.
“Today was critical for our preparation for the championships,” said Director of Health and Performance, Dr Carol Austin.
“The track firstly offered a closed road so from a safety point of view we didn’t have much to worry about. We could push the athletes to the limit on the closed road and the technical circuit ensured we could work on cornering and aerodynamics.
“The guys were all very happy and I think we achieved a lot today. We’d like to thank the Mugello Circuit for their generosity.”
Riders present for the testing included Bradley Potgieter, Ignatas Konovalovas, Jay Thomson, Johann van Zyl, Kristian Sbaragli, Martin Reimer and Martin Wesemann. – MTN-Qhubeka
