However, BCA president, Mmetla Masire told Sport Monitor that some of the cyclists did not participate in the national championship because they took part in the Majwe Mining Albert Milton (Majwe-AM570) cycling challenge that ended on Saturday. He said the less numbers were also not surprising because of the COVID-19 outbreak. “The cyclists could not attend the championship because they were tired. Fitness level is low for other cyclists because this race needs a high fitness level. However, there was an improvement in team trial numbers compared to last year,” he said.
Masire said normally the ITT and TTT are held earlier than December but they had to force it to be held yesterday.
