Journey into Cycling:
I began cycling in high school, initially focusing on mountain biking. At 17, I transitioned to road racing and never looked back. Since turning professional in 2016, I have competed in some of the most prestigious races in the world, including the monuments Milan-San Remo, Tour of Flanders, and Paris-Roubaix. Additionally, I have raced in all three grand tours: Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a España.
Top Results in Cycling:
I am a multiple South African Champion, African Continental Champion, and African Games Gold Medalist. Some of my notable victories include winning the Trofeo Calvia and both a stage and the overall classification of the Tour de Langkawi.
What does it mean to represent South Africa at the Olympic Games:
Representing South Africa on the world stage is always a privilege and a humbling experience. Competing at the Olympic Games for the second time is incredibly rewarding, and having the support of an entire nation is something I will cherish forever.
