  1. I’d imagine the top of the line bike with Rock Shox Flight Attendant front and rear will add about R20k to the price, still - 1/3rd of the Other sides too bike price. still donner expensive at R170k but in dollar terms it’s still reasonable
  2. 37C in Tulbagh today, low 40's tomorrow
  3. Rider who is continuing without the partner. Either they did not finish the stage or they did not make the cut off. Marius Hurter is one of them. Not surprised, he's flippen big bloke!
  4. looks like there re already 58 Blue board Riders after Stage 1. Tomorrow is going to hurt even more
  5. I think that’s exactly why they did add the 10. Getting to 21 is a massive commitment and they don’t make people like the Gen X anymore
  6. The original milestone was 21 and club21 was formed to commemorate and celebrate the loyalty of riders who completed those 21 tours in 1997 for the 1998 tour. the 10, 30 and 40 milestones were added as even number celebratory points. The next commemoration point will be 50 tours in 4 year’s time. I don’t know why they added 10 and 30. Probably to incentivise people who were wk seeing why they’d do another ride around the peninsula and pay for it.
  7. Blerrie Mooi !! Smaak it wif n passion fruit and lemonade. Flight attendant build price? Full geo charts including high and low positions because the seat tube angle differences don’t make sense please
  8. You should have read the Spanish comments there.
  9. @Headshotis stunned into silence at the length of that stem
  10. I’m not convinced an undersea data cable is responsible for equipment not connecting on our side unless that connection first goes to Europe before bouncing back here. How does the data centre connections work between dimension data, the media crew and the broadcasters? I’d think that the exported data would be affected not the internal SA networks?
  11. Ya it was mentioned in the race preview on Saturday. that’s quite a nice machine Harvey is working on
  12. Exactly, Mark is very proud of what he’s achieved in bringing this event to us. They will fix the issues. I’ve seen him do a Toto with his headphones when a camera bikes battery went on the blink a few years back (think it was 2021)
  13. Stage 2 is going to be a monster. I recall it from 2016. Is the bee farm still there and are they routing the riders straight through that bee farm again. That climb up the wagon trail….ouch. The sand from ottergat…. its going to be a brutal day in 39 degree heat and then down the Wagon trail. luke: i am not afraid of anything yoda: you will be…you….WILL BEeeeee
  14. The research papers don’t focus on the preparation process bottles go through before use. yes micro plastics can be harmful but generally plastic containers are safe if washed before first use.
  15. Ya ya ya ok ok be grateful we get anything at all I get it. Technical glitches aside the most informative person is Sabine and then Baart doing the inserts. It’s stage 1 so maybe the commentary will improve but I at least expect the commentators to know who the riders are and be able to speak about them informatively. Seems to be correct speed company 6:48 back already. They be come back from here before but it doesn’t look the same as the last two years. Baum looked very uncomfortable yesterday and today. Back issues again?
  16. He needs to get better information. He’s basically just watching the livestreams and talking to that. The commentary teams needs to have feed from every camera focusing on the leading groups. They need a holistic 360 view not just live stream. without Sabine this commentary may as not be there and listen to silent pictures
  17. Shepard off the back now still no clarity on the men’s race lol
  18. Only to find a snake with the same idea
  19. Commentary team doesn’t know where speed company is . the tracker shows them 49seconds up the road. Gardener says they 40secs back. Eish…. all this tech and they can’t talk to each other
  20. Back to the race… TS91 back with the leading group….pheeew
