"I'm extremely excited to be taking on the challenge of one of the most iconic cycling events - the Absa Cape Epic. Having ridden at some of the world's biggest races including the Tour de France and Olympic Games, to now have the opportunity to experience the Absa Cape Epic as a part of team Absa is a real privilege. This opportunity will enable me to continue to grow as a rider and that is a vital step in my journey and that of Team Qhubeka as we aim to once again compete on the highest level, and return to the Tour de France one day," Dlamini said.
He will be racing with former professional mountain biker Oliver Munnik during this race, the 36-year old is a familiar face to the trails of Cape Town being a native.
