Way back in April of this year I posted an excellent video of the new Team MTN Qhubeka pro cycling squad which is now in its first year on the Pro Continental circuit. The team, which is the first from Africa, has had a solid year of competition.
A few days back, episode 2 of the online web series entitled An African Bicycle Dream was released on YouTube. In that video, which you’ll find below, the spotlight turns to the talented young riders from Africa who are working to form the nucleus of this team moving forward. The hope is that these riders will be able to graduate up to one of the Grand Tours in the next year or two. Find out more about those motivations in the short documentary below.
