  1. Hang on, Thinus is actually busy making a move! Left it a little too late though.. PS. I don't really think this is a true reflection as Drikus just finished climbing and Thinus still has that to come. That gap will probably pull back out now.
  2. Here's an even better example of how Drikus is dominating the rest of the field.. (For some reason Thinus isn't showing at the moment)
  3. I lived in Upington for 5 years and worked with Frank during the years he had cancer. Learned so much from him and a great role model. He was very weak when I left Upington, and I lost contact with him. Always wondered how he was doing.. I was genuinely surprised and so happy to see him lining up few years ago!! Glad he is doing better!
  4. Frank du Plessis as well.. ai oom, draai om!!
  5. Two more riders 2km off-route.. hope they realize soon!
  6. Ambo 6 and 7.. we see you!
  7. He realized his mistake +-12km after the wrong turn. On his way back to the route now.
  8. At the pace that Drikus is going he is going te reach Doolhof around 12.. almost 2hrs faster than record pace
  9. Jenny Close now up into 4th overall! Incredible!!
  10. Eish no that looks like a wrong turn! Hope he realizes soon!
  11. Ricardo Stermin now up into 4th and Jenny in 5th(with 5 guys riding with her now)!! He is also a pretty strong rider.. Rode with him most of Boland Gravel Monster and then he suddenly flipped a switch and dropped me like a sack of potatoes around 130km up Bainskloof
  12. Jip, but he was definitely taking an hour nap there. Started moving now.. 10km behind Thinus. Updated at the same time.
  13. Willie's tracker is standing still at RV3 on my PC for more than an hour now? It shows Thinus is 10km up the road.
  14. First time he made me properly take note was when he won the 2022 36One in a new record time. His time was even 1 second faster than the first four-man RELAY team of David Garret, Johann Trotzky, Theuns van Bank & Andreas Studer. That was mindblowing!
  15. Almost an hour since Willie Smit moved. Maybe also taking a nap at RV3
  16. He looked lekker tired on his last Insta update video! I bet he is just taking a middagslapie to get out of the sun.
  17. She was riding with two guys late yesterday on the event photos.
  18. Really impressed with Jenny's ride so far.. The gap is now at least two hours to second place lady, and she's sitting comfortably in 7th overall!
  19. Only 6 scratched riders so far.. I think that is testament to the nice weather conditions they are enjoying at the moment
  20. In the ladies race Jenny Close also extending her lead to +-1,5hrs over Carien Visser. She is already past RV2. Will be interesting to see if Carien takes a bit of a break at RV2 or carry on to try and minimize the damage.
  21. Still looks like a lekker tailwind..
  22. Drikus is now almost 2 hours ahead of Ramses record pace 😳. He said at the one waterpoint on the video they had a slight tailwind during the night.
  23. RV1: https://fb.watch/oDOyg3VtmE/?mibextid=4p3i6U WP3: https://fb.watch/oDPrgIdoyv/?mibextid=ZbWKwL https://fb.watch/oDOpnBfAtf/?mibextid=4p3i6U https://fb.watch/oDPoah2xrt/?mibextid=ZbWKwL
  24. If he can keep this up we have a new record! I might actually be able to go watch him cross the finishline over lunchtime tomorrow haha.
