Three Fairtree DP World Cannondale riders, Damon Terblanche (front), Luyanda Tobigunya (back) and Zaindro Jordaan, were in action in the XCO Championships at the Spice Route in Paarl on Saturday 4 May. The team has participated in more XCO events lately, and their experience in the mountain-bike racing form is starting to show, with Terblanche and Tobigunya finishing in the top 10 of the elite men’s category. Terblanche finished in eighth place in a time of 1:31:13, closely followed by Tobigunya, in ninth place with a time of 1:32:13. In the under-23 men’s category Jordaan finished in 11th place, in a time of 1:23. “As in 2023, we are hoping some of our riders will qualify for world championships and also gain provincial colours,” said team manager Chris Norton.
