  1. I recently bought an USWE pack from a German site and it was in my hands in less than 72 hours. Couldn't believe it!
  2. Sorry for my ignorance, would us mortals be allowed to race this in say, the old bastard 40-45 category? Might have just got a serious goal to aim towards...
  3. Oke must clean that whole sector by himself with a toothbrush next year before the race.
  4. Ciovita and The Hub are completely different of course.
  5. I note that he’s got Decofurn (owners of The Hub clothing stores - ironic and awesome) and Ciovita branding on his kit - is that just for the first few races? Well done to those companies regardless of amount / duration of support. Those whips over the jumps while he led the race were 🔥
  6. I will be very pleased with this podium
  7. Just imagine; Momentum Medical Scheme (a licensed financial services provider) Race to the Casino 149,76 million km from the Sun, powered by Biogen SA (products are not intended to cure or prevent any illness or disease) The poor commentators and okes on TV 😜

  9. Like Race to the Lagoon which is open to the Sea, 4.11km away? Catchy!
  10. For R 50k I'd buy a Trek, Specialized, Canyon, Giant - your resale value will be far greater as it's more common and will have better support. Or a really nice Titan - they come with a 5 year multi user warranty - that's what I'd buy if I went to the dark side of road riding...
  11. Savage / amazing day out. In spite of my comments earlier in the week, 3 days of rain caused carnage. Most of the route was great but 4/5 spots looked like the worst CX mudbath you’ll find this side of Belgium in December. Except the humidity. That was more Durban. Marco Joubert and Tristan Nortje passed me when I was 81km into my 100k race. They were on 130ish km at this point and passed me on a slight downhill like I was pedaling the other way. It’s one thing seeing these guys on TV but in real life it’s insane. The then did a longer loop than the 100k route with a huge climb and I still only just got to the finish before them 🤯. Marco won, Tristan second. I then needed to lie down and stop cramping so missed third. Not sure about ladies. I may need to burn my kit, shoes and possibly even the bike. They may never be the same again 🤣💩. A true challenge for all and a proper test for the elites.
  12. https://en.brujulabike.com/pogacar-advances-his-strategy-for-flanders-and-talks-about-the-worst-side-of-social-media/ Seems to be a class act this chap. Interesting statements were made by Tadej Pogacar at the press conference before the Tour de Flandes 2025, where he will seek revenge after his defeat in Milan-San Remo, although, in reality, according to his own words, he does not see it that way "Revenge for San Remo in De Ronde? I don't know why I should be upset or seek revenge when no one has done anything wrong to me. There is nothing to avenge," Pogacar stated, showing sportsmanship, respect, and the good relationship he has always demonstrated with Mathieu van der Poel. In any case, he was understanding of the performance of the Visma-Lease a Bike team in that race "These are things that happen in races. Visma made a mistake, they got confident, there is nothing wrong with that. Neilson was very strong in the final sprint." He also empathized with Wout van Aert's situation "The team depends on Wout every time he participates in a race. He goes to win and finishing second after a situation of three against one is crap. But these are things that happen in races. He will recover, he will arrive at the next race without thinking about it and will give his best again. Whether he does well or not, it's not the end of the world, they are just bike races."
  13. Most countries if you work the system.
  14. The Grubers take the most breathtaking, honest, incredible photos. Worth my annual Escape Collective membership just for their work...
  15. Really hope that Wout can get out of his head and put some wins on the board. In another era sans MVDP and Pogacar he’d be the winningest 1 day rider around I think.
