In hospital getting sewn back together. Also looks like I have a broken finger. Is it really necessary to have 3 races in one bunch!?

Details

Country:

Date of birth: 1977-02-28

Hometown: Johannesburg

Neil is a super domestique that’s not unfamiliar with the top step of a podium. He’s won a few big races in his career and he forms a long-standing triumvirate with Nic White and Malcolm Lange, who have produced one of the most successful race-winning combinations in the history of South African cycling. Neil is a powerful sprinter and often sacrifices his own chances of winning to help set up the sprint for his more illustrious teammates– usually to good effect.
