  1. The dream season.... Giro = Roglic Tour = Vingegard Vuelta = Kuss Each guy got the opportunity. Somehow missing the WvA big win...
  2. Saw the last bit of today's stage... Sam Gaze managing the Alpecin D lead out train with a few km's to go quite expertly!! And Ganna 2nd in the sprint!! Gotta love these multi-talented/versatile athletes!!
  3. I thought it was more rangers.
  4. Hairy, actually they do. In our portion of the estate (100 houses) we live in there is at least 10 new Raptor/Cruisers for the normal okes. Then the outlier with 2x Lambo's, New Defender and Rangie, Lambo Urus, Cruiser and the overpriced Jeep bakkie. And the bottle blonde of course!! Plenty of 911's and AMG Mercs. Another Ferrari or 2. Crazy stuff.
  5. It normally the greedy sales guys that show me the top of range stuff models........happened to me at an East Rand dealer a while back😃
  6. Also, very very easy to buy say a R1mm car via finance. Very, very very difficult for me to do the same transaction with cash. Makes me think if it is really worth it!!
  7. Very, very reasonable for Swiss!! BTW what is the cost of an entry, must be pretty steep with those hotels.
  8. Remco drawing 1st blood......
  9. Very very pretty, but I still take my 2012 Giant TCR SL ISP at 6.8kg. Now have R100k to invest to fast track early retirement.
  10. I don't know what I am talking about re design of full sus MTB's brand vs brand BUT the finer details on the drop outs reminds me of my Mongoose HT Also the welding detail looks very much the same
  11. I've done 4 Sani's with a HT and it was only eina in a few sections, mostly in those plantation single tracks. We were racing in our age groups and doing pretty well. My partner also on a HT, but a 29er. He tried a Lauf on year 2 and found it challenging I think do-able on a good spec Gravel Bike, but you might want to take a slower approach, even on 40-45mm tyres.
  12. Text book case of rule 5!!!! Well done!!!
  13. Correct, I had a contact at Le Tour...
  14. Tramadol and alcohol don't mix well.
  15. True, but to win the Worlds across the 3 disciplines do take some doing!!!
  16. Hubbers I have a perfectly good bib lycra wise, but the chamois totally disintegrated over time. Italian brand nogal. A lekker 3/4 thermal jobbie. Then have ones where the lycra has gone, but the chamois is still good. Where can I get some surgery done to transplant the useable chamois? I life in/near the Bemoerde Triangle... Yes, I'm stingy...
  17. Google Maps shot please Ouzo?
  18. What about Cx, Road and XCO next weekend? Only one other rider did - Pauline FP in 2014
  19. Triple day made for me, 1- Remco dropped, 2- MvdP wins, 3- Wout 2nd!!
  20. Snap, 1986 1st year! Could have helped with 3rd year reactor design!!!
  21. Looks like a 'crosser circuit!!! All the better for those hard accelerations out of the corners. Come on Wout/MvdP.
  22. I immensely dislikes being ripped one by paying >R500 for tape, let alone R500!! Take the drive to Kempton (Clint's shop) and have a look. Nice selection Giant makes a decent quality at a decent price
