Three time winner David George will be hoping another strong ride in the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay Giro del Capo will help him cement a good pro deal for 2006. The Tour de Langkawi victor is still on the hunt for a contract after being let go by Barloworld last Autumn.
"All is going well and my form seems to be good since Langkawi," he confirmed. "We have put a team together for the Giro del Capo, sponsored by Nedbank, which is one of South Africa's biggest banks. I hope to ride well there."
George's performance in Malaysia opened up discussions as regards a pro deal for the remainder of the season. He says that talks are ongoing. "I am in negotiation with one or two teams and hope to be back in Europe soon after the Commonwealth Games. Watch this space."
