We are safely back in South Africa and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for an unforgettable experience at the OHVALE Guangzhou Supercup, the event was exceptionally well organized, and we learned so much while connecting with incredible people from around the world.
Here is a brief summary of our journey:
Monday: We arrived in China in the afternoon.
Tuesday: We visited the track and did a track walk to begin familiarizing ourselves with the layout.
Wednesday: We enjoyed a cultural tour of China and ended the day with a special dinner cruise alongside all the participating teams and riders – a beautiful way to build camaraderie.
Thursday: We had two 10-minute practice sessions, the first was on a wet track, which was quite challenging as it was my first time on the OHVALE bike and the circuit. The second session was dry, and that’s when I really started to get the feel of both the bike and the track.
Friday: The goal was to improve lap times by four seconds – and we achieved that! However, the other riders were also improving, and despite making significant gains during the two qualifying races, I just missed out on qualifying by one second.
Even though we didn’t qualify, I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything, our goal was to go to China and see what riders from other countries were doing, and we ended up exceeding that goal. The experience, lessons, and friendships we gained are priceless.
We are truly humbled by the support and love received throughout this journey.
Thank you to everyone who made it possible.
