Rourke cruises into SA teams
Top Zululand mountain biker Rourke Croeser, who has been selected for two SA teams, in action
ROURKE Croeser has been selected to ride for South Africa for both the Mountain Bike Worlds team (one of two riders) and the Junior Road Cycling World Championship squad (one of five riders).
This is the first time a South African cyclist has been selected for both disciplines in the same year.
This is more of an achievement considering that he is a first year junior (U19). The selections come after a prolific year which saw the young rider win the SA Mountain Bike Series and the SA Mountain Bike Championship titles.
He also placed a credible third in the SA Road Championships held in East London this month.
To top it off, this past weekend Rourke took the overall first place in the Mtunzini Mountain Bike Super Classic.
The SA team leave for the Italy Mountain Bike Worlds on 11 June for an area in the north of Italy called Val Di Sole (Valley of Sun).
