Does anyone have any contact with any of the P&P riders in the Cape Town area? I see these kids regularly on my way home and notice one very concerning thing. They are always going absolutely flat out. I have never seen any of them going anything but "foaming from the mouth."

My concern here is that generally we are putting money into developing these kids, but then see them to be training, in what any coach would agree, without direction or an understanding of how one should train.

So, my question is, does anyone know if these guys have a coach and if their coach knows what they are actually doing out there on the road?

I have also never seen these young fellow with a coach, I just assumed they had one.
Perhaps you can ask Pedal Power, I'm almost certain, that they are better informed than any of us.

I know a guy who used to be with PnP, might still be, but David George is coaching him now.
Will try and get some contact details.

Thanks, I am sure P&P and all their sponsors would agree that these guys need some direction if they don't alreay have.
