Press release from Cycling South Africa:

Junior Track Cycling Team Selected for World Champs (NZL)

15 May 2012 – Cycling South Africa’s Track Commission has great pleasure in announcing that the following riders have been selected to represent South Africa at the UCI Juniors Track World Championships in Invercargill, New Zealand from 22nd to 26th August 2012.

Junior Men:

Dirkie Nel (Gauteng)
Jac Johan Steyn (Gauteng)
Jevandre Pauls (Eastern Cape)
Kellan Gouveris (Eastern Cape)
Morné van Niekerk (Gauteng)

These young men will be taking on the world’s best under-19 track cyclists from more than 20 countries. The coaches and selectors have huge faith in the Track Endurance Team that has been selected this year, and firmly believe that all candidates are an integral part of Cycling SA’s 2016 and 2020 Olympic visions.

A major goal this year is for the Junior Track Team Pursuit Team to break and set a new South African Elite record, which is within their grasp. In line with Cycling South Africa’s Long Term Participant Development program and 2020 vision, this team will be laying the foundation to a solid performance by a South African Team Pursuit Team at the Olympics in years to come.

The team will depart on approximately 27th July in order to attend a training camp that will be held in Perth, Australia and is seen as extremely important in the build-up, not only to a solid performance at this year’s Junior Worlds, but also to provide a foundation for next year’s Junior Worlds as well as future international competitions for this team of youngsters.

Congratulations on your selection and we wish you every success.

Nolan collects four of a kind

April 29, 2012 in Events, Local results

Four of a kind in poker is when you have 4 cards of the same rank in a hand. The odds of achieving this is less than 1%.

This weekend Nolan Hoffman and the Tasol GT cycling squad beat the odds when Nolan Hoffman started the day by defending his aQuellé Tour Durban road race title. He then finished the day with victory in the elite points race at the South African national track championship.

This brought his tally of gold medals to 4 out of 4 at the track championship so far. The championship is being held in Pietermaritzburg and Hoffman’s first taste of success was in the omnium, before winning the scratch race yesterday and taking the elite team pursuit with the help of his Tasol GT team this afternoon.

Hoffman’s and the Tasol GT team pursuit feat on the track today is more remarkable since the team was out of bed at 3.30am this morning to defend his aQuelle Tour Durban title on the road. Brilliant team work helped to close a threatening breakaway halfway through the race and a perfect leadout by Tasol GT led to Hoffman taking the sprint finish and retaining the title. This is the third time in a row that Tasol GT won this race. Team manager, Dean Edwards, was the champion before “The Hoff” took the win last year.

Credit must then also go to the team manager, Dean Edwards, who has shown that it is possible to taste success on the road and track even if it means managing a busy schedule.

More track racing follows tomorrow with the elimination and madison being a focus for the endurance track athletes.

The Intellibus cycling team is building on the success that they achieved in the Western Cape during the season by lighting up the track with some dominating performances at the SA track champs in Pietermaritzburg

The highlight must be Maroesjka Matthee’s hat-trick of wins as she made a clean sweep of the ladies elite sprint, points and scratch races after coming back from serious injuries because of a crash last week.

Brent Pheiffer won the elite 1500m after a breakaway effort. The match sprint specialist, Jeanné Nell, was 2nd in this event. Brent Pheiffer collected another gold together with Jeanné Nell and Boyd Roberts when they won the Team Sprint.

Réniell Matthysen stepped onto the podium in the elite scratch race with 3rd position.

Intellibus has a promising last day ahead of them at the SA track championship with Jeanné Nell that went through to the gold/silver sprint final, Brent Pheiffer in the bronze sprint ride and Jeanné Nell being one of the favourites for the kilo.

SA track champs day 2 – press release from Cycling South Africa

April 28, 2012 in Cycling South Africa, Events, Local results

Press release from Cycling South Africa:

SA Track Champs Hot Up In ’Maritzburg

27 April 2012 – Day two of the CSA KZN All Africa Challenge in Pietermaritzburg once again saw Nolan Hoffman put in a world class effort at the SA National Track and Para Cycling Championships, whilst the SA National BMX champs also got underway as riders took part in official practice at Alexandra Park.

Hoffman continued where he left off on day one of the track champs with wins in both the Omnium 4000m pursuit and 1km time trial events and a third place in the 15km scratch which, together with his three victories on the opening day, gave him his first title at this year’s competition.

“I’m really happy with the win and it’s great to have started the champs off with gold,” said Hoffman. “The form has been good my side and I’ve been racing dominantly over the past two days which is obviously great for my confidence and definitely gives me one up on my competitors early on.

“Going into competitions sometimes you’ve got to try force your dominance onto others and I’ve managed to do that over the past two days so I’m really happy with how things have gone so far,” he added.

Hoffman claimed his fourth win in as many starts in the six-leg elite men’s Omnium when he raced to victory in the Omnium 4000m pursuit final early on the second day however, with a long weekend ahead of him and a strong effort by his competitors, Hoffman had to settle for third in the Omnium 15km scratch event.

Instead it was Pieter Seyffert (Westvaal BMC) and Oupa Makuleke (Panda) who enjoyed the limelight temporarily as they managed to break away from the rest of the pack with close on four kilometres to go and with the Omnium front runners playing cat and mouse with each other the pair were left to battle it out between them for the spoils, which Seyffert claimed narrowly.

“Two guys managed to get away in the scratch race but the rest of the guys weren’t too worried about it with it being part of the Omnium. For me it was actually ideal because I was then able to sit back a bit because they were just taking points away from the other guys, which suited me perfectly,” said Hoffman.

Hoffman however came back strongly later on in the day to claim victory in the 1km time trial final, giving him five firsts and a third in the six Omnium events, enough to earn him his first title of the champs, a title that was held by 2011 Omnium Champion Boyd Roberts (Intellibus).

Track legend Wayne Pheiffer suffered an unfortunate fall whilst competing in his master’s sprint event and suffered some nasty abrasions to his face, shoulders and chest as well as a suspected fractured collarbone.

The cycling hero however demanded that his son Brent Pheiffer (Intellibus) stay at the track and compete in the elite men’s 1500m final and compete he most certainly did.

From the onset Pheiffer set off at an incredible pace laying down the gauntlet for the rest of the bunch to change their tactics and come after him far earlier than many would have hoped.

No one however was prepared to follow Pheiffer except for crowd favourite Oupa Maluleke who valiantly accepted the challenge and went after Pheiffer alone.

As the pair circulated alone and tired quickly the sprinters in the pack suddenly sprung into action with just over a lap to go however it was too little too late and against all odds Pheiffer claimed his first title of the champs.

In the elite ladies section Maroesjka Matthee claimed gold in the Sprint final with Tannah Robinson having to settle for second and Dalena Nel third.

‘The Hoff’ starts well at SA track champs

Press release from Cycling South Africa:

Cycling South Africa News

‘The Hoff’ Starts Well at SA Track Champs

Tasol GT rider Nolan Hoffmann claimed all three events of the elite men's Omnium race which leaves him perfectly poised to secure his first title at this year's SA National Track & Para Cycling Championships, which form part of the CSA KZN All Africa Challenge, on the event's second day of action on Friday © cyclenation.co.za/Gameplan Media

26 April 2012 – South African cycling hero Nolan Hoffman got the all new CSA KZN All Africa Challenge underway at Alexandra Park Track on Thursday morning at the 2012 SA National Track and Para Cycling Championships with a display of relentless domination in the elite men’s category.

Fresh off his recent silver medal at the World Track Champs in Melbourne, Australia Hoffmann, racing for the Tasol GT team racked up the early advantage in battle for the elite men’s Omnium by claiming the win in all three of the opening day’s encounters, the flying lap, 30km points and elimination finals.

“It’s not a win as yet,” said a cautious Hoffmann. “I’ve still got to get through three more events tomorrow but it definitely is very comforting to get off to a really good start and get a couple of races under the belt.

“So far so good. It’s always a good thing to start a race in such a dominant manner and I really feel I’m in control of the ship now and am able to steer it where I need to,” he added.

The Omnium is made up by riders’ results over six different events over two days. Hoffmann is focused on securing the omnium and defending the host of titles that he secured in 2011. The Tasol GT competitor also wants to defend his aQuellé Tour Durban title on Sunday. [paragraph edited. ed.]

“It’s a really big weekend for us at the team. We’ve set ourselves incredibly high standards so there’s still a long way to go but I came away with six medals last year so I’m really hoping to be able to do the same again this year at the champs,” said Hoffmann.

“It’s great to see Nolan (Hoffmann) and the rest of the team get off to a great start today but obviously we’re also trying to focus on our bigger picture of winning six titles and the Tour Durban title as well,” said Tasol GT team manager Dean Edwards.

“So it’s all about going out there to win but to try do it as smartly as possible and with as minimal effort as possible,” he added.

Despite having been pushed at times by fellow teammate Jean Spies, James Louter and Evan Carstens, Hoffmann looked in complete control for the majority of Thursday’s affair standing head and shoulders above the rest.

“It’s not as easy out there as some think though,” said Hoffmann. “My competition certainly isn’t handing it to me on a silver platter! I’ve just come off some incredible form after Worlds and my preparation period before that so I’m just feeling really good at the moment,” he added.

In the junior men’s section Kellan Gouveris followed in his senior teammate’s footsteps when he too claimed all the titles available on the opening day of the champs which gives him a comfortable lead with just three events to go in the race for the Omnium title.

Meanwhile in the elite ladies category Maroesjka Matthee and Tannah Robinson safely negotiated their way through the qualifiers and semi-finals stages of the sprint race and so will tackle the event’s final on Friday morning.

Friday also sees the second of the event’s three disciplines get underway as riders competing at this year’s SA National BMX Championships take on the recently built six-metre start hill and the rest of the reworked Alexandra Park’s BMX track during official practise from 14:00 onwards.

There is much hype and excitement surrounding this year’s event as it operates under the new one-day champs system for the first time and will see 2008 Olympic competitor Sifiso ‘Skizo’ Nhlapo (MTN Cycling) in action along with the likes of the flying Kyle Dodd and the rest of the elite men’s field.

All Africa Challenge Moulds Unity in SA Cycling

20 April 2012 – Organisers of the new CSA KZN All Africa Challenge believe the event, which gets underway in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday 25 April, will help unify cyclists from three of the sport’s disciplines when they come together for the unique triangular festival next weekend.

Mountain bike, BMX and track cyclists have operated largely in isolation in recent years, particularly as these disciplines have become more specialised in the post-sporting isolation decades.

“An event like this really is a fusion of cycling and goes a long way to helping get rid of some of the sensitivities of our sport,” said Mike Adey, organiser of the SA National Track & Para Cycling Championships that forms one third of the CSA KZN All Africa Challenge.

“People from the various cycling codes have drawn lines in the ground in the last few years so hopefully this event will really help breakdown those barriers and get everyone to look after cycling as a whole. The whole sport benefits immensely from an event like this,” he added.

Head of KZN’s BMX Commission, Jason Nichol, feels the busy cycling calendar also plays a major part in the spilt nature cycling currently faces and feels events such as the CSA KZN All Africa Challenge will go a long way in establishing an awareness of the other disciplines amongst riders.

“There isn’t much mixing that goes on between guys within the sport and I believe this is because there are a massive amounts of events on the go in each of the different disciplines almost every weekend,” said Nichol.

“The marketing of each discipline also plays a huge part because at the moment guys who aren’t BMXers often don’t know what’s going on in BMX and the same for track, mountain bike, etc. So events such as this one I definitely feel will go a really long way in helping expose riders in our country to some of the other cycling disciplines.”

It is rare that cyclists are able to explore other elements of the sport due to this lack of time and basic awareness and hence often do not have an opportunity to interact with members of other disciplines, something organisers are hoping the CSA KZN All Africa Challenge will help change that.

“We’re really hoping this event will help facilitate the growth of cycling in general and that these three events that form part of the All Africa Challenge really could help unify cycling,” said Adey.

“It’s fantastic that the guys from the various disciplines will be able to interact and see what goes on in the world of cycling outside of their own disciplines. If you took a cross section of cyclists many have never been exposed to the other cycling disciplines so this really is a great concept,” he added.

Renowned local MTB track builder Nick Floros concurs with Adey’s sentiments. “The CSA KZN All Africa Challenge on a whole though really is a superb idea and is really good for cycling as a whole,” said Floros.

“Hopefully this will enable there to be a cross pollination of riders within cycling in the future as guys from track try their hand at BMX, BMXers come give MTB a go when they’ve got a bit of a gap and so on,” he added.

For some attending next week’s event it could well be their first experience of another cycling discipline other than their own, something which can only be healthy for cycling in South Africa.

“The revival of both tracks at Alexandra Park and the fact that they’re both right next to each other I really feel will help with the awareness of each other’s sport amongst the riders, especially those who are at the All Africa Challenge,” said Nichol.

“I’m pretty certain a lot of BMXers will be watching their first track event ever and vice versa next weekend which is really good for the sport,” he added.

The CSA KZN All Africa Challenge, made up by the SA National Track & Para Cycling Championships, SA National BMX Championships and the CSA KZN All Africa MTB Challenge, takes place in Pietermaritzburg from 25-30 April.

Excitement of Track Worlds Still Living Strong

April 13, 2012 in Cycling South Africa

Excitement of Track Worlds Still Living Strong

12 April 2012 – South African track cyclist Nolan Hoffman received a hero’s welcome when he arrived home at OR Tambo International early Tuesday morning.
Silver medallist Hoffman, who rides for the Durban-based Tasol GT Pro Cycling Team, achieved a massive goal when he gave the performance of his life in the 15km Scratch race in Melbourne, Australia last week at the 2012 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, finishing a very close second to the newly crowned world champion Ben Swift (GBR).

Compatriot Bernard Esterhuizen also represented South Africa and delivered a solid performance in the Sprint qualifying event, setting a national record of 10.234seconds to finish 32nd out of 53 starters, however only the fastest 24 riders qualify for the event proper.

The 19-year-old also participated in the 1km Time Trial where he recorded his second fastest time ever of 1 min 02.915 seconds, just outside his recently set national record, to finish in 14th position; a credible performance given that it is only his 2nd World Championship event. Esterhuizen blistered around the track and recorded the fastest splits for the first two laps, but then faded towards the end.

Originally from Durban, Esterhuizen has spent the better part of 2011 and this year at the UCI World Cycling Centre in Aigle, Switzerland where he is being groomed for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Proud Cycling SA Team Manager William Newman (Cycling SA Vice President) was ecstatic with the performances of the weekend: “Nolan has proven that he is world-class and all of Australia are raving about his performance. We have shown what we are capable of with limited resources. We now need to build on this and ensure that we get results consistently in the future. Nolan is obviously ecstatic about his performance – he has done us all proud!”

Hoffman will not be going to the Olympics however because the Scratch race in which he won the silver medal is not an Olympic event. Nolan has focused his training on the Scratch event and not the Omnium, which is the Olympic event.

“According to current standings, Nolan has not qualified for the Omnium, which is a specialist event,” continued Newman. “Bernard is the only rider to have qualified for the Sprint.”

Esterhuizen has qualified for the 2012 London Olympics in the Sprint track cycling discipline via the necessary UCI World Cups and World Championship races, but CyclingSA are still waiting for SASCOC to ratify his selection on the Olympic team.

“Until we have team confirmation from SASCOC, Bernard will continue his preparations as if he will be on the London Olympics start list,” said Newman.
Next on the cards for Hoffman will be the local 2012 SA Track Cycling Championships, which takes place in Pietermaritzburg from 26th to 30th April. Esterhuizen has returned to Aigle to continue his training regime for the London Olympics.
