Video: MTN-Qhubeka film looks back at WorldTour debut and Ciolek's win in San Remo

18-minute feature follows Africa's leading team at Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-San Remo...

One of the highlights of this year's racing to date was Gerald Ciolek's victory in that brutal edition of Milan-San Remo last month, his MTN-Qhubeka team being the first UCI Professional Continental team from Africa to take part in one of the sport's biggest races after being given a wild card by organisers. The South African team has now issued an 18-minute video, An African Bicycle Dream, focusing on that race and its WorldTour debut in the previous week's Tirreno-Adriatico. It's the first episode in what promises to be an absorbing series throughout the season.

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
