<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTestament to the calibre of\nthese athletes, First Move Sport is hugely excited and proud to partner with\nsome of the leading brands in cycling that share the same vision and\nobjectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trek South Africa has been on\nboard from the onset and has proven a phenomenal partner and resource. The\ncompany\u2019s support has been unwavering, and the team is well poised for 2020\nwith world-class bikes and equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frank Oliveira, Country\nManager for Trek Bicycle Corporation, explains \u201cAt Trek, we build only products\nwe love, provide incredible hospitality to our customers, and change the world\nby getting more people on bikes. We are excited to partner with Jacques and\nJaco as they take on this new journey in their careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will offer them world-class\nbikes and accessories to take on the best races South Africa has to offer.\nTheir work with Qhubeka not only exemplifies their commitment to getting more\npeople on bikes but also showcases their humble nature. Simply put, they are\nTrek people and we welcome them to be part of the Trek story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The go-to bike for the 2020\nseason will be the recently released Supercaliber 9.9 XX1 AXS trimmed with all\nthe best Bontrager equipment available. Janse van Rensburg and Venter will also\nhave the Madone SLR 7 Disc and Emonda SLR 7 Disc in their arsenal for select\nroad races during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With many hours being spent on the bike each season, quality cycling kit is a necessity. The decision to partner with Ciovita was an obvious choice with their focus on pushing the boundaries of comfort and performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are thrilled to have\nriders as globally experienced as Jacques and Jaco in our performance cycling\napparel. We pride ourselves in creating cycling kit that stands up to the\nchallenges of local and international races; something that can only be\nachieved through continuous research and refinement. Both Jacques and Jaco\u2019s\nfeedback on our kit will be incredibly valuable to our on-going mission of\ncreating kit that performs with every pedal stroke. They will be racing and\ntraining predominantly in our Supremo and range-topping Apex Series gear, and\nwe are excited to follow their careers as they test their limits, and ours,\nagainst the best in the business\u201d said Freddie Enslin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qhubeka Charity has always\nbeen an exceptional cause for both riders, and one that has featured throughout\ntheir professional careers. The global non-profit based in South Africa works\nto help people and communities move forward with bicycles. Both athletes share\nQhubeka\u2019s belief that bicycles change lives and are proud to continue their\nassociation with, and be ambassadors for Qhubeka. They will now continue their\nsupport in the professional mountain biking space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have watched and cheered\nas Jacques and Jaco took on races at the highest levels of road cycling, and\nwill be proud to support them as they make their mark in mountain biking. We\nappreciate their continued support of Qhubeka, and believe that together we can\nkeep changing more lives with bicycles.\u201d commented Anthony Fitzhenry, Founder\nof Qhubeka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first race for the pair\nwill be the Momentum Health Attakwas Extreme MTB Challenge, taking place over\n121km from Oudtshoorn to Groot Brak in the Western Cape. The race is widely\nregarded as South Africa\u2019s toughest one-day mountain bike race, and \u201cThe Hell\nof the South.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having raced \u201cThe Hell of the North\u201d (also known as Paris-Roubaix), Venter had this to say \u201cParis Roubaix is the toughest one-day race in the world and a race that I will never forget. Riders consistently fighting for position at the start of each cobble section, and then hoping to avoid crashes in front of you through the dust. The race is very hard on your body and your equipment, and it\u2019s a race of survival for many of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFrom the Attakwas war stories I\u2019ve heard over the years, there are many similarities to Paris Roubaix. Good position in the important sections, reliable equipment and having enough left at the finish will be the determining factors on Saturday\u201d added Venter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Janse van Rensburg added\n\u201cHaving raced Attakwas and the Absa Cape Epic before, I know how hard mountain\nbiking is on the body. My pre-season training has all been on the mountain\nbike, and in search of the roughest trails I can find.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJaco and I have raced consistently at the highest level possible for many years, and we\u2019re hoping to continue in the mountain biking space. We have and will always be committed to racing, and being passionate ambassadors for all the brands that support us,\u201d concluded Janse van Rensburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Team First Move <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following formidable international careers racing at the highest level with Team Dimension Data for the past eight seasons, Jacques Janse van Rensburg and Jaco Venter have returned to South Africa but with no intention of taking the pressure off the pedals.
