Bestmed-ASG re-signs local
One of the top women’s professional cycling teams has re-signed Chane Jonker.
One of the top women’s professional cycling teams, Bestmed-ASG, has re-signed former Lost City champion Chane Jonker ahead of the Durban Classic and 947 Cycle Challenge.
Chane, a 23-year-old Krugersdorper, joined the California-based JETCycling team at the end of last year for an eight-month racing stint in the United States. While there, she competed in races such as the Redlands Bicycle Classic, Valley of the Sun stage race, Dana Point Grand Prix and Temecula Grand Prix, in which she placed fourth.
“I have always had good support from Bestmed-ASG,” said Jonker, who has also won the Serengeti Classic and Mogale Spring Classic with the team in the past. In bigger events it makes such a difference to have some stress taken off. I also love being part of a team set-up.”
She said racing in America is quite different to racing in South Africa, but added that racing in the States has not only improved her technical skills, but made her more savvy.
Apart from the end-of-season races, Charne hoped to be a podium contender in the Bestmed Tour of Good Hope in March next year. Other goal would be to compete in the Mpumalanga Tour and national championships.
