Cycling South Africa release Wild Card entries for Gran Fondo World Champs in France

Cycling South Africa has 10 Wild Card entries for the 2017 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, which will take place in Albi (France) from 24-27 August

The UCI Gran Fondo World Championships sees amateurs battle it out each year for the chance to claim the coveted rainbow jersey. Riders between the ages of 19 and 77 compete in their respective age categories for the prestigious title.

Any rider who attains a top-three position in their respective age category at the SA National Road Championships receives an automatic entry into the Gran Fondo World Championships; and any rider who participates in a Gran Fondo World Championships Qualifying event anywhere in the world, and attains a position within the top 25% of their age group, will also gain an automatic entry into the Gran Fondo World Championships. Wild Card entries are for those who do not qualify through either of these automatic entry processes.

Primary allocation will be based on SA National Road Championships results
