Die Bloemfonteinse fietsry-ster Madelaine (Maddie) le Roux (27) se professionele loopbaan het \u2019n groot hupstoot gekry toe sy einde Januarie in die vroue-afdeling van die Zwift-akademie se finale pad-uitdaging in Spanje as die wenner aangewys is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorwinning is die grootste prestasie in haar fietsryloopbaan tot nou toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n onderhoud n\u00e1 die uitdaging in Denia, Spanje, het Maddie ges\u00ea sy was einde verlede jaar by \u2019n kruispad in haar loopbaan. Sy het nie meer \u2019n kontrak gehad nadat sy die afgelope twee jaar vir die Internasionale Fietsry-unie (UCI) se W\u00eareldfietrysentrum in Switserland gery het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maddie is die oudste dogter van ds. De la Harpe le Roux en sy vrou, Corn\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes besluit of ek voortgaan met fietsry. Ek het besluit om nog een jaar te probeer. Ek is so dankbaar vir die geleentheid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die mense van Zwift het haar aangemoedig om die uitdaging wat sy begin het te voltooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uit die duisende deelnemers aan di\u00e9 uitdaging is drie mans en drie vroue ge\u00efdentifiseer wat almal belowende fietsryers is, elk met hul eie spesialiteite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het in Januarie aan die uiteindelike ronde deelgeneem wat verlede week oor vier dae (van Dinsdag 20 Februarie tot Saterdag) uitgesaai is, waarna die uitslae bekend gemaak is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ses het aan verskeie uitdagings deelgeneem waarvan die finale een die pad-tydtoetse was wat gehou is om die wenners te bepaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maddie het meegeding teen Katy Hill van Brittanje en Laura Simenc van Sloveni\u00eb om die eerste plek en \u2019n plek in Canyon\/Sram Generation se ontwikkelingspan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die Le Roux-gesin is dit nou \u2019n moeilike tyd met Maddie se ma, Corn\u00e9, wat baie ernstig siek is met \u2019n aggressiewe vorm van borskanker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De la Harpe is die uitvoerende hoof van die NG Kerk Vrystaat se Barmhartigheidsbediening en die stigter van Torings van Hoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het op Dinsdag 27 Februarie ges\u00ea dit het die naweek baie sleg met Corn\u00e9 gegaan, maar \u201cdit gaan nou bietjies-bietjies\u201d beter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corn\u00e9 is sedert 13 Februarie in die Mediclinic Bloemfontein in die waakeenheid. Sy voer al sedert Oktober 2022 \u2019n moedige stryd teen kanker en het al chemo\u00adterapie en bestraling ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maddie het in November tweede gekom in die 947 Ride Joburg-wedren. Volgens Fritz Pienaar, organiseerder van die wedren, het 13 100 mense aan di\u00e9 gewilde fietsren deelgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is sedert begin Februarie by haar gesin in Bloemfontein. Sy vertel die ontwikkelingspan is redelik op dieselfde vlak as die een waarvan sy die afgelope tyd deel was in Switserland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie span se hulpbronne is net baie beter en die geleenthede baie meer. Dit is die ontwikkelingspan van \u2019n w\u00eareld-toerspan. Die geleentheid is daar dat ons in sekere groot wedrenne saam met di\u00e9 w\u00eareld-toerspanne sal kan deelneem sodat ons van hulle kan leer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie doel is dat ons so sal ontwikkel en verbeter dat ons kan aanbeweeg na die w\u00eareldspan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy sou volgende week gaan deelneem het aan die Africa-spele, maar het onttrek om nou eers by haar ma in Bloemfontein te wees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
