SA Deaf Cyclists in Taipei - Invitational Team to Tour de Formosa

SA's Deaf Cyclists feature in Taipei at the Tour de Formosa Invitational Race. Particpating for RSA is Johan Reyneke (& this time round as coach/manager), Terence Parkin and Ashley Abrahams (cyclists) along with the other invitational teams such as France, USA, the Czech Republic, Tapei (Taiwan) & Australia.

I'm adding this while the athletes are asleep and resting for tomorrow's long 173Km reportedly flat race on stage 2 of the Tour De Formosa route.

A message from RSA. "Well done to Terence on his excellent sprint finish to take 3rd place of the first stage." Johan, relax & enjoy managing and to Terence and Ashley, "good luck - May the wind be from behind." We are "thumbs up" for you guys and really wish you well. Best wishes from us all back home
