Mauritius cycling team’s road bikes stolen in South Africa

A group of cyclists from Mauritius, who took part in last weekend’s Cape Town Cycle Tour, had their road bikes stolen from a storage facility.

The 12 Mauritian cyclists stayed at a guest farm in Paarl this week where they reportedly stored their road bikes in a storage facility.

In a tweet, South African police said the bikes, valued at about R1 million, had disappeared as they were getting ready for their next cycling adventure.

The cycling team are making their way to Egypt now to take part in the Africa Cycle Race. 

The case of theft are under investigation and Paarl police have asked for anybody with information to come forward.
