The sunny and beautifull parts of the world are giving some pretty sweet races these days. After the Australian races (Tour Down Under, Herald Sun, Geelong), and the Asian races (Tour of Taiwan, Tour de Langkawi) it is the turn of South Africa to give it's roads over to the multisolored pro peloton.
South Africa's biggest race, the UCI 2.2 Giro del Capo started yesterday. Darren Lill finished 9th in stage 1. He won this stage a few years ago and kept the leader's jersey to the end. This year however, he is riding in support of David George. Bit of a shame for Darren as he once AGAIN gives his services to another rider. When will he get to truely race for himself? Well actually fairly soon. The SA National team is putting together a team for the Tour of China, and Darren will be team leader... FINALLY!
Until then the Giro del Capo should bring us some great racing with a good international field, some stunning scenary and howfully some good results for our Lill South African Climber (or at least for his team).
