Track Cycle Racing in Lesotho

At the moment, there is no track cycling programme in Lesotho.

Building our own cycling track in Lesotho is still a distant dream.

It is hoped that as the UCI African Continental Cycling Centre in Potchefstroom, SA develops, it will provide access for our athletes to train and race track cycling events. The Centre is directed by J-P van Zyl, a superstar of track cycling himself.

Again, Lesotho has a fine history in track cycling. In past decades, many Basotho men used to work in the mines in South Africa and one of their favourite pastimes was track cycling in cities such as Welkom and Bloemfontein.
