I also have a feeling they might do better than they have so far this year. My Feeling is more from the form of Reinhardt, Nizollo and Reinhardt rather than from Cav.. (He did not oce make the sprint in the Tour of Slovenia) I would also rather see Meintjies although I am not sure we will get better results in the mountains than Cav sprinting . I guess the naming of the team can not be far of so lets see if Doug will surprise or not.
I Hope Nizzolo goes to the TDF, Cav did not sprint once in this tour , I think He sprinted twice this year. Not sure who to support anymore. TDD not really a bright star, Proteas a lost cause, The Cheetahs no where in sight, May Bafana surprise as all and lift the Africa Cup.
Jip, Agreed but I was not a fan of Kudus as he would always fall away on the important stages. They indicated at the end of last year that it was to expensive to have so many African riders. DO not understand how that works but yes. LM is not going to make it with the way he has eaten his vegetables the last few years, so the African dream is gone for now. Amanuel Gabr.... Who did quite well in the end in the Giro is the next talent but has a way to go yet.
Not sure what you mean? Kudus showed a lot of promise and I guess still does but for me he has for TDD always performed well but always have one bad day in a Tour where he fall away, almost like Tejay. Maybe TDD should have focused him on the shorter tours. He however has faired better for Astana this year , but all in shorter Tours.
I agree that Cav seem to be nervous , if you look at this years races in the few times he was with the bunch I think he only sprinted once. The rest of the times he do not sprint due to various reasons. However he indicated once something along , "it looked dangerous but the younger guys did not seam to mind that". That confirmed it for me. It is not easy to get around that fear, not impossible but a few sprints to get himself right however he did not make the sprints of the last few races.
It has not been the worst few days for TDD this week. Eddy with a win and two top 10s and then Reinhardt got a third place yesterday as well. I think they can send quite a good TDF team for July. Would just like to have an on form climber in the team as well for GC. Lets see what King and LM do in Swiss this week.
Hi, You can have a look on Facebook , he posted quite a lot under Tshwane Classic. I think this is the most involved I saw a sponsor in the marketing of a race , especially on social media.
Yes saw him, the guy in the white, but unfortunately we did not go hard enough after the hill because we were about twenty after the hill and when we turned left to Bronkies we were about 50 again and he was back. A friend of Mine chain dropped on the top of the hill and he also came back to the bunch. Nobody wanted to pace after that hill, including me.
I actually do not understand the fuss about this pregnancy, other than the two persons involved that is not your typical people. A woman who wants to become a man(and therefore calling herself a man) became pregnant in the normal biological way by a Man who want to be a woman. Both of them started using hormone therapy but stopped the therapy while trying to get pregnant, The Man wanting to become a woman started his again after the woman became pregnant. However it is actually a woman becoming pregnant the normal way although the two parties look a bit different. No surgery yet so there is no scientific miracle or any thing of the sort here.
Good result in Tour of Yorkshire for DD yesterday. Tom Slagter got 4th and 7th in the GC , but could have been better if he was not boxed in by GVA domestique just as GVA attached. Slagter did all the work to try and catch them again and still won the sprint from their group so if his positioning was better the result could have been even better. Lets hope he and Ben O Connor can get some results at the Giro. Cav is definetily not going to win anytime soon, I do not think he still have the nerve to spring, after the team doing all the work he did not sprint once in this tour.
I have been Discovery a long time and with Vitality around 10 years, only had one issue a few years a go when they started syncing with Racetec that the points after syncing with Racetec would not appear until a system rest was done. However since then nothing. Have had Shoe booster Apple Watch , Virgin active etc and they all work well.
Weekend Chelsea and United game , they might take each other out of contention , Hopefully Arsenal can win one more game this season to keep the hopes alive.
I feel the same. Hopefully they get a result today. On paper it is a good squad for the race. There Feeder team are doing much better. Two wins in two days .
Ryan Gibbons have had a few opportunities and had some good results. Louis Meintjies seem to be unfortunately also be over the hill although not from Age. They have been looking better in the last two weeks , and I am not counting Cav's third place as that might as well be the Argus at 120 km. He does not have the fitness to challenge at longer distances. Agree that it feels there tactics is not too clever most of the time which then end up leaving one rider against the other teams. The team for tomorrow is strong on paper and Valgren should start getting stronger after his illness.
A very well organised ride to challenge you. If you do the 35km or longer ride you will do quite a bit of climbing on challenging terrain. Well worth doing in my opinion. Was privileged to do this as VIP from FNB for a few years and it is well worth the experience , Make it a weekend and do the run on Sunday as well.
Would be interested in how you loaded the file explorer to brows normal internet as I also have the device for a month now. Happy with it but wanted to brows the internet on google which does not seem possible.
