Personalised Race Jersey’s for all MTN-Qhubeka riders

Now it’s even easier to spot your favourite Team MTN-Qhubeka rider in the peloton. Personalised Castelli race jerseys for all team riders. All MTN-Qhubeka riders will sport different letters on the back of their jerseys. The personalised letters should make it easier to spot where your favourite MTN-Qhubeka riders are in the peloton this year. We suggest you save this list until you get the hang of who is riding with which letter. This feature, while fun, is also really important to our team as we believe professional cycling needs to engage its fans in every way possible. This is just one way we hope to bring cycling closer to the fans this year.

MTN-Qhubeka to race Amgen Tour of California

MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung announced today that they have received an invitation to compete for the first time at this year’s Amgen Tour of California. The Amgen Tour of California is America’s premier cycling race and takes place from 10-17 May.  The team has been invited to a series of top-level races. They received their first Grand Tour invitation to the Vuelta a España last year and recently received a wildcard invitation to compete at the Tour de France in July, making them the first African-registered team to compete at the French Grand Tour. The team have bolstered their roster this year with a series of new signings including Matthew Goss from Orica-GreenEdge, Tyler Farrar from Garmin-Sharp, Theo Boss from Belkin, Edvald Boasson Hagen from Team Sky and Steven Cummings from the BMC squad. American sprinter Farrar won stage 4 of the Tour of California during the 2013 edition. After spending most of his career with Jonathan Vaughters’ Slipstream Sports, he made the move to MTN-Qhubeka for the next two seasons and will no doubt want to represent his new team in California. “It’s exciting for the team to be debuting in the race,” said TT specialist Steve Cummings. “We don’t know the parcours yet but there ...

Tirreno Adriatico and Milan Sanremo wildcards for Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung

Today RCS Sport announced the wildcard recipients for their respective 2015 World Tour events. Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung are delighted that for the 3rd year running, they have been included in both the Tirreno Adriatico and Milan Sanremo events. We would like to thank RCS Sport for extending these invitations to our team. We don’t think anybody could forget our debut appearance at the 2013 Milan Sanremo. It was the race in which our African team was announced to the world as Gerald Ciolek triumphed, giving our team its biggest victory to date. Obviously this victory has a special place in our teams history and so we are delighted to be going back to “La classicissima di Primavera” this year where once again, we will contest for the victory. The Tirreno-Adriatico will be our first World Tour stage race of the 2015 season and as guests to the race we hope to put on a great show. We will look to better our stage podium placings we have received in previous years and be visible throughout the race. The Tirreno-Adriatico has treated our team well in preparing our riders for the classics and so we are grateful to have such ...
