It was a dream come true in 2009 when Medscheme gave me the opportunity to start my own professional road cycling team in South Africa.

I selected a team that had the same vision and values as Lange Sports.  It was unquestionable when it came to choosing the core of this team.
I chose riders with the same vision, passion and goals as Lange sports, Nic White, Neil MacDonald, Waylon Woolcock and a youngster at the time, Hanco Kachelhoffer.
I was excited to bring Arran Brown on board to battle it out for the sprint finishes.  Arran was young and eager to ride in a professional team set-up.

Young riders raced and developed with the support of a platform within Lange Sports to establish their cycling careers.

2010 saw the successful team continue raising the bar and a young new signing, Johann Rabie, brought even more success to this team.

2011 – Team Medscheme, the most successful SA pro cycling team, approached the year with a new look, new riders and new objectives.
Team Bonitas was born (Medscheme is an associated supplier to Bonitas, which is one of South Africa’s premier medical and health risk companies)
The team registered as a UCI Continental team, which gave the riders the opportunity to take part in internationally graded races around the the world.
The team increased to 10 riders.  Being dominant in SA, this was the natural progression to give riders the opportunity to be noticed internationally.
Bonitas brand awareness reached over several continents and Africa.
Neil MacDonald, Waylon Woolcock, Johann Rabie and Luthando Kaka (our newcomer during the 2010 season) remained as part of the 2011 line up.
Bonitas Pro Cycling team was excited about the new signings, Songezo Gym (now racing on the international circuit for Team MTN Qhubeka), Jason Bakke, Gawie Combrink & Tyler Day
