For all the Racing Juniors we have a new competition for you, within the Tour Durban. You will be able to race for the Louter Junior Trophy. This is a floating trophy and our aim is make it a much sort-after trophy. Our Men’s trophy dates back to 1993, with the first winner being Gary Beneke, who also won in 1994. Other riders who won the trophy twice are Darryl, Impey, Malcom Lange and current holder of the cup, Christof Van Heerden. Christof is on a hat-trick, and stands to be the first rider to win the Tour Durban three times.

Amongst the Ladies, Marissa Van Der Merwe is the only lady to win the trophy three times.

The Louter family have been great servants of cycling in KZN. The original trophy was donated in memory of James Louter’s father, and now also memorializes his mother, Julie who passed away a few years ago.

We take this opportunity to publicly thank the following companies for so generously providing us with their products for our Tour Durban 2010 Goody Bags, and for our Lucky Draw Prizes.
