They say everything happens for a reason and as most of my friends and family will tell you I am a firm believer in this.

My season this year took an unexpected turn just after the Cape Epic with the loss of my financial sponsor at the time. Any athlete will tell you what a blow this can be as you are now short of funding to travel and race and it leaves you in a bit of a predicament.

I have been very fortunate and privileged to have been recovered from this situation. The regular blog readers will have seen I have been riding in the Asrin Property Developers kit for the last two months and I am proud to announce that I have now signed with Asrin and will be joining there team for the rest of the year.

As mentioned Asrin is a property development company and some of their bigger projects include: Eden on the Bay, Millennium Business Park, The Pavilion Shopping Centre and Falcon Crest. Have a look at their website by clicking here or on their logo alongside to see their property portfolio.

I would like to extend a big thank you to Nizaam and Ishmail for taking me in under the Asrin banner and cannot begin to express my gratitude for this.

The team has an awesome dynamic going and I have really been enjoying this. Everyone gets on really well and this makes travelling together and the after race banter a pleasure.  I am really looking forward to spending the rest of the season with this awesome team.

The eagle eyes may have also noticed I’m on a new race machine be sure to check in next week for the announcement on this.
