🌍🇿🇦 From South Africa to Europe
With Mom by their side! ❤️

We’re so proud of our two DriveTrain riders who raced in Europe earlier this year. Not only did they embrace the cold weather and tough European races, but their amazing moms joined them for the adventure!

Nothing beats family support on and off the bike!

All we know is that this year's was tough, in many ways, for all of the riders at different levels. But we all took away moments and memories that we can talk about for many more Epic events to come. The achievement over every hill, through every stage, speaks louder than the toughness of the event.

Well done to all who took on this grueling but beautiful addition 👏

🚵‍♀️💙 Huge congratulations to and her partner on an absolutely phenomenal category victory at the 2026

These two incredible ladies rode to win the NTT Data Masters Women category, claiming the blue jersey with style and grit after 8 epic days in the saddle. They started strong, sitting in 2nd after the opening stages, then battled hard in an intense race-within-a-race to hold onto their lead all the way to the finish line. What a masterclass in determination and teamwork, and a big congratulations to the podium winners 🏆

The post-stage-race blues are real... we're all feeling that empty, "what now?" vibe after such an intense week. But these two finished in the blue jersey, and we're pretty sure they're experiencing a whole different (and much happier) kind of blue right now! 😄

We are so incredibly proud of the grit, resilience, and heart they showed every single day. This is a massive achievement and an inspiration to so many.

A massive thank you to all their sponsors for believing in them and making this possible:

The Tankwa Trek delivered four epic days of dust, climbs, and pure MTB magic in the wild Cederberg landscapes!

Nothing beats crossing that finish line covered in dust with your partner. What an adventure to kick off the season! 🚵‍♂️🔥

After@madi_bateson claimed the SA Junior Road Title jersey this weekend, we wrapped it up with a great finish in prep for Absa Cape Epic. Tough but rewarding race. Well done to and Leon, who finished strong and 3rd Mixed Team overall.

🚴‍♂️ Springbok legend along with several other riders and DriveTrain riders, will be starting the Hope Ride: From Sea to See this Saturday. The ride is a 14-day, 2,500km journey from Durban to Swakopmund; a route that has never been cycled as an organised event! The journey will take them through some of South Africa’s most iconic towns and dramatic landscapes and end with the 400km Desert Dash.

This epic ride is to raise funds for the LumoHawk Foundation’s mobile eye clinics that screen, test, and provide free spectacles to learners in underfunded schools.

👓 Up to 15% of children struggle at school simply because they can’t see clearly. Together, we can change that and give South Africa’s children the gift of sight. Every R2500 raised helps provide help to 10 children!

We need support to help lift up one of our own!!! This is JL. A young cyclist.
Cycling isn’t just a hobby for him, it’s his passion, his happy place, the thing he lives for. He’s the kid who’s always out on his bike with the biggest smile.
Last week, this changed in an instant. JL was in a terrible accident: a broken femur, a crushed vertebra, and emergency surgery. Right now he’s in critical condition in hospital, fighting hard. The doctors say the road ahead is long, and JL’s biggest fear is that he might never ride again.
He needs to know he’s not alone.
He needs to feel the love and the good vibrations from the cycling community.
Keep fighting, champ!
We’ll see you back out there soon. 💪
