Imploder

DOh! Radioshack's day is done! Horner - out, Brakjovic - out, Kloden - involved in yesterdays crash (possibly injured), Leipheimer - (Also involved in crashes). Man what a crazy first week!

Voekler you beauty! Also have him on my team.

Sorry, wasn't even a Shack rider: "A motorcycle belonging to Getty Images was kicked out of the race after colliding with Danish rider Nicki Sorensen (Saxo Bank-Sungard)." - From Velonews

Did anyone see which Radioshack rider got clipped by the Motorbike? Was it Horner?

D@mn! Brajkovic crashed out....I was hoping for big things from him.

Ok this is really irritating: "The price rises come in the wake of a report by the Auditor-General that shows that misappropriation of municipal funds had risen sharply in the past year and that unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure rose by 77% for the financial year to the end of June 2010." - Taken from http://www.property24.com/articles/steep-electricity-hikes-from-tomorrow/13735

The Gautrain may also be an option, but the routes are very limited even with the buses. But yes I think companies will have to come up with some innovative ideas to cushion these blows from their employees. Perhaps SARS can make a non-taxable travel levy.

Gauteng: 35% increase in Electricity Tariff(Residential property) 6.7% increase in property rates 14% increase in water and sanitation 6.7% increase in refuse removal. Over Road Tolling: most likely reduced from 66c/km to 58c/km (Gee Thanks!) Then there is the interest rates likely to rise before year end. Not to mention how the above is going to increase the price of goods in the store. We're slowly being suffocated.

Team presentations on SS5 at 15:40 - 17:40 today, Can't wait for le Grand Boucle to begin!

Quick question, say the winner gets disqualified after the race due to an ongoing investigation, are all his points forfeited? What time line are we looking at here.
