bizhub and DEVELOP to Isuzu Three Towers Mankele

Team bizhub together with their sister outfit Team DEVELOP will be sending two teams to participate in the Isuzu Three Towers Mankele stage race.

It’s one of my favorite stage races on the South African Calendar” said Yolandi Du Toit,” who comes into the event with some good form following her podium finish at the crater cruise on Saturday. “It boasts some of the best single track in the country together with some testing climbs. Last year I participated in the event with Caitlin De Wet, but I’m very excited about the prospect of teaming up with Leana this year. Although she’s somewhat of a dark horse she has quiet an impressive resume having already raced in the Cape Epic this year. Yolandi will be partnering with Capetonian Leana De Jager who deputed for team bizhub at the Crater Cruise.

Leana is another talented rider who we’ve been following with some interest for the last few months” Said team owner John Robertson, “She’s been racing for less than two years with a good triathlon endurance sport back ground. She’s a very positive person with a great enthusiasm for MTB racing. What impresses me even more about her is that she is flying directly after the race on Sunday to George where she will be lining up on the start of the six-day Cape Pioneer. Now that’s dedication for you! Nine days of stage racing back to back is no easy task.

Nicci Grobler who recently won the Renosterveld three day stage race together with Yolandi will be partnering with Caitlin De Wet In colours of bizhub’s sister outfit DEVELOP. Caitlin has spent much of season this year racing on the world cup circuit in Europe brings a good deal of experience with her to the team. She recently finished 3rd in the woman’s elite category of the Tour of Oudshoorn, which she used as final preparation for the event. “I Think Nicci and myself compliment each other well,” said Caitlin about the new partnership. I’m very good on the single track whilst Nicci has a reputation for being an endurance rider who seems to get stronger with each day in the stage race. We each have a slightly different set of skills, but put together we have a good team.

The teams biggest competition is likely to come from the pairing of Samantha Sanders and Samantha Oosthuizen, both of them bring a wealth of experience to their partnership, and they both have a reputation for being good single-track riders. The last few weeks have seen the bizub team running a full race program. Whilst the two teams will be participating in Mankele. Ischen Stopforth and British National Catherine Williamson will be making final preparations for the start of Cape Pioneer. The six-day race stage race is regarded by many as being almost as challenging as the ABSA Cape Epic. The route traverses two mountain stages, crosses the arid semi-desert Karoo and flows through coastal forests of the garden route before finally finishing in Oudtshoorn
