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.

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.

Amazing news… pic.twitter.com/rvTwBmuVpx — Team MTN-Qhubeka (@TeamMTNQhubeka) January 14, 2015 “We can light up stages of the Tour and we bring this incredible story to the Tour. We’re putting African kids on bikes and being at the Tour de France would help that immeasurably” said general manager, Brian Smith. “I’d like to think that the green jersey is an option to target but we’ll certainly be riding for stage wins. We could bring the first African team to the Tour de France and from that the minimum would be to win a stage.” The 2015 Grand Depart will take place on the 4th July, starting with a 14km time trial in Utrecht.
