Showtime

What if it was possible to send a photo of somebody overtaking like that to the traffic department and receive say R250. They can then fine the bastard R2000. I know there are problems I haven't thought off but it would be nice to have the power to combat this if you consider the school bus accident this weekend at Cradock as an example of something that can be avoided.

Scott CR1 Pro. I have one and love every second riding it. I also had a Cervelo S1 but the CR1 is a nicer ride for me personally.

Anybody here seen the Aussie movie "The Castle". Some of the funniest stuff ever made.

I just never see the yellow jersey bothered about sprinting for points which is why it seems unlikely to happen for me. If there was some incentive to do it then yes Froome has the form.

Sorry for failing the general knowledge test. Which current rider do you think can achieve this?

It is very strange. Next thing one rider will take the green and the yellow jersey. Sparticus TTs and then fades in the mountains like a proper cyclist which is why he is my favourite rider.

Well said. It's a career not just this race, he must be excited about the future right now.

My public service announcement for the day: I normally remove the valve core and have a piece 8mm pneumatic pipe with a compressor quick connect on the other end which I slide over the valve. I then set the compressor regulator to 2 Bar and just plug the pipe in for maximum airflow. This works for the most loose fitting tyre you can find. Then one day not thinking I plugged the pipe in at my local BP garage not realising that the regulator was set at 8 Bar. Eina Bliksem. The tyre exploded off the rim destroying the rim and spokes and causing all the staff to dive for cover. My ears were singing for 2 days and my hand was swolen purple where the tyre hit it. DO NOT DO THIS

And I'm suppose to braai at our church stall at the biltong festival on Saturday. Going to be interesting. We were hoping to show off allot of new single track during the festival weekend but some other time then.

If I had to get that bike I would just look at it the whole time and never get around to riding.

If you're spending that kind of money the Karoo was made for a 29er. Remember 2013 bike season started 1 July so shop around for discount on 2012 bikes.

Yes the CB weight saving doesn't help if you need to carry a spare set with you. Just to changed to XT

Well done. I hope for them that Jodie takes 70.3 world champs as well the way she's embraced SA.

You are right, it's not working. The 'I am targeted angle' has been met with so what is the problem with that if you are clean. If he's lucky his legacy might be doping because with Hansie people just remember the lies, not the match fixing.

Fixed it.

Yes Coetzee was good. He wasn't trying to run over people and always looking for the offload. Certainly closer to a Kieran Read type performance than a Jacque Potgieter performance. Evolving his game at a young age.

All I know is the pedals I bought on the birthday sale yesterday arrived before lunch today. Don't make your problems my problems

Thanks, my perception was clearly wrong then. Yes it's not right that all those riders had to own up while he sits on his high chair. If there is no circumstantial evidence for him to fear he should embrace the investigation. Trying to discredit is only showing that he cannot afford for it to go ahead but after all these years he probably thinks he'll just hang in there as long as possible.

But if 11 riders doped using 10 of them as plea bargain witnesses to nail 1 guy is wrong. This the angle Lance will play. I don't think it's even about whether he doped or not any more, it's about managing his image when the truth comes out. The way USADA is doing this right now he can be convicted of doping and still be the victim / survivor hero in the public eye because everybody else was also doping but only he was targeted.

No you don't understand, you guys are subsidising me My parcel gets picked up from CWC, sent overnight to PE and get's driven 200km to me in the middle of nowhere first thing in the morning for R80. No other online shopping service has ever managed this but CWC does it every single time.

Good decision, us fun riders need a safe way to drink on the rocky bits. And yes I also leave the saddle bag permanently on the bike for when I leave the camel at home for 50 minute rides.

I think this might just turn out well for Lance. USADA are changing the public sentiment to: everybody doped so why is Lance the only one being targeted? This is his angle of defence on Twitter at the moment and it's a good one.

Hijack on: Sincere advice. Use First Ascent bottles with Elite bottle cages. The bottle clips perfectly into the front lip of the cage with zero chance of falling out.
