Congratulations to our Tour Down Under team

SMA-SA was once again contracted to provide the Sports Trainers coverage and additional support to the Race Doctor for the 2014 Tour Down Under. With a couple of busy stages early on with riders coming off their bikes the back end of the week was much quieter and allowed our team to enjoy the event.
A big thank you must go to the Race Doctor and SMA-SA Member Dr Mark Fisher and his able assistant Malcolm Morris for their guidance and hard work throughout the week. After quite a few late nights cleaning wounds and visiting injured riders in hospital no doubt both are enjoying a well earned rest.
Our team of sports trainers this year included:
Kylie Burton
Carol Goddard
Bronte Nicholls
Sue Pascoe
Katie Sandford
Airlie Waller
SMA-SA would like to thank these trainers for the excellent work they did throughout the Tour and the way they handled themselves professionally in, at times, trying circumstances. They did a fantastic job. To be asked back year after year to be involved in an international event of this caliber speaks volumes of the quality of sports trainer we have here in South Australia. Thank you team.
Without the back up support of our staff, in particularly Daniel Clark (TDU Sports Trainers Coordinator) and Steph Potter (TDU Sports Trainers Assistant Coordinator), prior to and during the event we would not be able to provide such a high quality service.
We look forward to once again working with Race Director Mike Turtur and his team on the 2015 Tour Down Under.
