From South Africa to the World with the support from the local industry.
As a Youth, Josh Johnson has held a South African National title in every cycling discipline on the road and mountain bike, including winning the three major road races as a u/17: Cape Town Cycle Tour, 94,7 Ride JoBurg and Amashova Classic. His victories extend the border having won on the mountain bike in Switzerland and on the road in Belgium, Netherlands and France. His performances this year saw him being Nominated as Junior Sportsman of the Year at the KZN Sports Awards.
It is not just his “on the bike” antics but his personality off the bike - well spoken, welcoming, funny, mature and knowledgable of the sport, his training and race craft showcase real professionalism beyond his years.
Josh’s stand out event was one he didn’t even podium at - Le Pevele Classic is considered the Paris Roubaix for u/17 where he lead a field of 167 riders into the first cobble section having never ridden cobbles before. Unfortunately whilst in the winning breakaway of 7 riders with 15km to go Josh got a puncture and not speaking French was unsure if the service vehicle had the right gearing on the spare wheel so chose to ride on the flat. Hanging onto the pack for 10km before they managed to get away - Josh still crossed the line 28th. This performance saw Josh being contacted by multiple team managers eager to recruit him.
Its been a long road to get to this point in such a young career. Dad (Andrew) meticulously planned each international race to strategically position Josh at the highest attended races as well as races where the biggest names in European Junior cycling would be competing in the aim of getting noticed and to this point - signing with one of the World’s Top Junior teams(official announcement to be made soon).
The path to this achievement has been paved not only by hard work and dedication of Josh and the family but also by the invaluable support of key partners. Josh’s gro

A successful defence of their Wines2Whales Title for Tyler Jacobs and Candice Lill
Having spent the year traveling together whilst competing on the UCI XCO World Cup circuit as an u/23 and Elite respectively - the dynamic duo once again teamed up for the 3 day race from Lourensford Wine Estate through Elgin and finishing at Benguela Cove in Hermanus. It was a solid performance with three stage wins from three with only one minor mishap on day two when a wrong turn was taken and Candice stopped to turn around and… well… Tyler didn’t and rode straight into Candice - worth a good laugh at the end of the day and didn’t stop them from spraying the victory champagne.
A great way to end off a long and strong season as both riders head into a much deserved break before getting back to base ahead of what looks like an even longer XCO World Cup season next year.

Four years in the making - Josh Gillitt will finally be blasting through the Cape Town skyline at Red Bull King of the Air (KOTA).
KOTA is the most prestigious and sort after Big Air Kiteboarding event in the world. Only 18 riders are selected each year of which six already pre qualifier from the year before so really only 12 slots available. Through the year you can earn one of these slots by winning one of the KOTA qualifying events around the world or submit a video entry for a panel of judges to choose from.
Josh has wanted to compete in KOTA since he could remember but for two years he was too young(no under 16 riders can compete) and he pushed to get his entries for the next two years. This year he has produced strong performances on the Big Air World Tour including narrowly missing out on an automatic qualifier slot when he finished 3rd at KOTA Qualifier in Tarifa, Spain. Josh has produced strong content showcasing his ability during events and training and put together a great edit for video submission. There were a few set backs this year as with high risk comes consequences and Josh had a few big crashes leading to injuries but with focused rehabilitation and strength training he has got back on the water and in full focus of producing a top result at KOTA representing South African among the international field.
KOTA takes place in Tableview, Cape Town with a waiting period from 23 November to 8 December 2024 to ensure the best possible conditions for the athletes to take to the sky and astonish the crowds(thousands on the beach and even more on the live stream) with mind blowing combinations of tricks.

Matthew Healy Ultra is going for a “little trot” through the Arizona Desert tomorrow, Saturday 26th of October.
By “little trot” the Javelina Jundred is a 100mile(that is 161km) trail run in temperatures that are expected to reach 40degrees as well as a dry humidity. What makes it unique is that it’s made up of five loops of 20 miles which means that the runners are able to get familiar with the route and work out where they are going to push - it is expected to be fast! Add to this, the race is also a Golden Ticket opportunity to get into Western States next year!
The race kicks off at 6am(3pm RSA) - there will be a livestream:
