This morning, the South African newspaper the Cape Argus published a story about the main star of Sasol Leeus possibly opting for the Rico Weiss option. This would be groundbreaking news, they wrote, a major tectonic shift in South African bike racing. A deal like this would see the Eritrean step down as the alpha male of the Sasol Leeu lion pack. It would see him leave the den for one Big last big money deal - the only of his career.
Later today, sabc and supersports caught on and further spread the rumors which now makes us comment on them. You can express a longer press statement soonish.
We are taken by surprise as well. However, we are in good and productive talks with the rider and his management. He came to us as a young promising talent; he got trained by the excellent trainer team around Ex-Sprint Star Culvert Roberts, down here in Cape Town and up in the European base Camp up in Southern France. The relationship we had since then has been mutually worthwhile. So for now there is not more to say than that at this point in time, Birhan is our rider and will captain certainly more races for us. We are confident to work together further in the future. That’s all for now. Birhan refuses comment at this point.
