2008 Bmx Olympian Sifiso Nhlapo showed once again that injury does not slow the young South African down but that he bounces back to top form every time.
Spending a week at the Red Bull DTC with his coach Herve Krebs testing strength & speed the two were confident leading into Manchester that Nhlapo could get on the box.
It feels like yesterday, the thought of 2008 BMX’s Olympic debut. Its been four years since MTN/Qhubeka BMX rider Sifiso Nhlapo competed in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games where BMX was being show cased for the first time.

Chula Vista SX
This weekends race was the final stop of the super cross world series in Chula vista San Diego. After being on the side lines for the past 6 months it was good to be back on the scene and I enjoyed trying to refined my feeling on the big track again. I think I have made a lot of progress with my rehabilitation over the past 6 months and I have brought more than 100% to the table in terms of the required effort because I know how important it is that my knee is 100% stronger than it was when I return to competitive racing.
Report from Skizo:
The weekend started with a 28hr trip to the USA with quiet a few connecting flights from South Africa.
I came into this weekend feeling really good as I good some good days of training in at home before coming here.
