Team MTN-Qhubeka p\/b Samsung continued its preparation for the UCI World Team Time Trial Championships on the Mugello Circuit in Firenze yesterday.<\/p>\n

All the biggest teams in the world will contest the event and a good result is a major target for Africa\u2019s first Professional Continental team.<\/p>\n

The team would like to thank the Mugello Circuit for the invite to the highly quality racing track.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday was critical for our preparation for the championships,\u201d said Director of Health and Performance, Dr Carol Austin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe track firstly offered a closed road so from a safety point of view we didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys were all very happy and I think we achieved a lot today. We\u2019d like to thank the Mugello Circuit for their generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riders present for the testing included Bradley Potgieter, Ignatas Konovalovas, Jay Thomson, Johann van Zyl, Kristian Sbaragli, Martin Reimer and Martin Wesemann. \u2013 MTN-Qhubeka<\/a><\/p>\n
