South African cyclist: news, riders and where to follow them

Want quick updates on South African cyclists and how they’re doing on the world stage? You’re in the right place. South African riders now show up in big races from the Tour de France to mountain-bike epics, and fans here want easy ways to track results, watch races and spot emerging talent.

Top names to know: Daryl Impey, Louis Meintjes and Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio have been the most visible on global roads. Impey has claimed big stage wins, Meintjes is known for climbing in grand tours, and Moolman-Pasio fights at the front in hilly one-day races and stage races. Keep an eye on younger pros coming through local teams—South Africa’s club scene and national championships often reveal the next crop of talent.

Where to follow results and live coverage

Start with the UCI calendar for official race listings and results. National-level updates come from Cycling South Africa and local race pages. For live TV and streaming, look at Eurosport, GCN, and race organisers’ own streams—smaller events sometimes stream on YouTube or Facebook. Team social channels and rider Instagram or X accounts are great for behind-the-scenes clips, crash updates and quick race reactions.

If you want daily scores, set up alerts on apps like Flashscore, CyclingNews and ProCyclingStats. Those sites list startlists, results and stage-by-stage reports. For mountain-bike fans, follow the Cape Epic and national MTB series—race organisers usually post highlights and stage summaries within hours.

How to support and spot new talent

Want to help South African cycling grow? Join a local club, volunteer at a race, or back junior programmes. Clubs run group rides, and many welcome new riders at beginner-friendly sessions. Watch the National Road Championships and U23 races—those events are where scouts and pro teams find promising athletes.

Practical tip: follow local coaches and club pages on social media for training camps and talent ID days. Young riders who post consistent race results on Strava and national calendars often earn invites to bigger teams. If you’re simply a fan, buying team kit or attending a stage race helps sponsors keep investing in riders.

Want quick practical advice for watching races live? Check the race’s official site the day before for streaming links, and follow the race hashtag on social platforms. For local broadcasts, check regional sports channels and streaming apps—some races require a small pass, others are free.

Final thought: South African cyclists are competing more often overseas and at top mountain-bike events at home. Follow a mix of official sources, team accounts and local club pages to get the fastest, most reliable updates.
