[Seandmerida96]

Dunno who is signed up! Very interested to hear! Road riding is the riding without singletrack

team 360 life : Nedbank is the sponsor

Kevin Evans and David George

Well done to them and good luck for 2011

Its an interesting move.
He was doing so well with MTN Energade.
I wonder why he split?

I hope they have better luck at Epic next year.
I always felt that Kevin had bad luck in partner choice and was held back.

Nedbank - kaching! david must have some pull there as he got them to sponsor him and some Eye-talians at the Giro del Capo a few years back......

Scott bikes it looks like......

c'mon all Safa Epic victory 2011? (on 29ers?)

Scale 29'er for sure.
They have both dabbled and done well on 29'ers.

They approached Manbearpig to be the team leader, but they couldnt afford him. Might just be a rumour though...

team 360life: kudos to Nedbank for sponsoring a pro cycling team in the current econonimc climate,when most sponsors are pulling there sponsorship.

WELL DONE NEDBANK

Yeah exciting stuff! i was at the launch this morning.
Very Happy for Kevin & David, it's best for them, they can focus on their own goals.

Press-release should be out pretty soon.

Glad to have new sponsors in the sport on board: 360 Life / Become (Nedbank)

Their Primary focus is the Epic (Win), then our National MTB Series (Wants to go for 7th Year in a row...Sounds like the TDF ) and World Marathon Champs (Podium - better than previous finish), and possibly two other international stage races, and other "big" local MTB events like Sani2c & Joberg2c and possibly Cape Pioneer as social season ender.

The road stuff was mentioned last, with giro (if it's happening) and tour of SA (if it's happening) - barring some new road rulings (means around it, personally i think it's not good for SA Cycling at the moment, but more a long term goal for the sport, not enough sponsors on that level in SA). He definitely wants to take part in SA Road champs... Joked about who was chasing who up signal hill )

Looking at possibly riding 2012 Scott Scale 29ers by Epic, with Scott international backing, and Scott international team riders Nino et Al as second support team in Epic.

Wow.....thanks for insight and clarity!!

[Mellow]

these guys you want to sponsor. They always perform well. Spectator and competetor alike look up to these guys.

good luck!

Who else is on the team? Is it just the two of them?
I know that most of the big stage races are 2 man teams, but road champs etc are bigger team events...

Does MTN Energade continue?

[Dirt*girl™]

wow. Go Kev and Dave!
