Veteran mountain bike riders to test their road skills at The Mzansi Tour Powered by CATHSSETA
The FedGroup-Itec cyclists are normally known for their heroics in the dirt of South Africa’s toughest mountain-bike trails, but they have decided to test the truth of the saying that a change can be as good as a holiday.
This is why Brandon Stewart, Neil MacDonald, Kevin Evans and Brad Stroberg will switch from mountain bikes to road bikes for a few weeks to compete in the UCI-sanctioned Mzansi Tour powered by Cathsseta (17-21 April).
The fact that the riders from FedGroup-Itec will participate in the Mzansi Tour, might have the proverbial effect of setting a cat loose among the pigeons.

Devastated Evans forced out of Cape Epic
For the first time since the inception ten years ago of the Absa Cape Epic, an eight-day international mountain bike tour, Kevin Evans (FedGroup Itec) will not be competing.
After consulting with the team of doctors treating him, it was decided that it would be unwise for him to ride in the Epic. The body cavity where his appendix was removed has still not drained properly.
Since October last year, Evans has been in hospital on three occasions to be treated for the same problem.
However, Evans remains optimistic.
