WELCOME TO PROTOUCH AFRICA – The new home of everything to do with African Cycling!

Our vision is to aggregate African Cycling and find unique ways to unlock value for our continents’ top performing athletes, the brands that support them, the fans that follow them and attract new investors into the sport that we all love.

As you all know, FUNDING is always the toughest challenge that talented athletes (especially in Africa) have to endure so, we plan to enable more African riders onto the World Stage through this platform. And you can help us do that!
