Back in 2007; when Jaco Venter and\nJacques Janse van Rensburg were just nineteen, they completed the Absa Cape\nEpic together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2007 race was not their only\nencounter with The Race That Measures All as each rider returned to the trails\nin the following years. In 2020 they return to mountain biking after careers on\nthe road, which took in a combined thirteen Grand Tours, for Team Dimension\nData.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To return to mountain biking, Venter and Janse van Rensburg have set up a new team, First Move Sport. The team aims to provide a platform from which riders can race the South African mountain biking season, as well as selected events on the road. Their first big goal for 2020 is the Absa Cape Epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
