We are extremely sad to announce that our young South African climber, Louis Meintjes, will abandon the Tour de France today.

Stage 17 of the Tour de France would be another excellent day for Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung, as our African team consolidated its 2nd place in the team ranking overall by having 3 riders finish in the top 15 on the stage.

Not only did he claim his fifth stage victory at the Tour de France but his lieutenant Richie Porte made the double for Team ...

Sprinters were seen as the leading roles of stage 5 and they were, sometimes unwittingly. Andre Greipel logically snatched his second win of this Tour in similar weather conditions as the first in the rain and wind of Zealand. By contrast, France’s Nacer Bouhanni, who was looking forward to this long stretch along the battlefield of WWI, crashed after 11 ...

Contested like a Spring classic in windy and wet conditions, it created significant differences between hot favorites for the overall classification.
