We holding thumbs down here. I will speak to Kevin tonight

Kenneth will do well no doubt. Albertus could come into his own as there are lots of climbs.

Public Holiday a week ago - 4 of them through Durbanville

The winner will be a WP rider. Kenneth Ketterer, Albertus Rust are 2 of the favourites but it could well be any of 3 other WP boys.

Wilhelm de Swardt, Beeld 22/03/2007 22:56 - (SA) Pretoria - "We must begin to fight back against crime," says a dominee from Acacia in Pretoria. Dominee Wynand Olivier of the Florauna Dutch Reformed Church in Acacia is finding it difficult to preach the message of conciliation from the pulpit, after suffering at the hand of criminals for the umpteenth time. "Enough is enough!" he said after having to fight off robbers when he went cycling on Thursday. His car has been hijacked before and there was a break-in at his house. "My message is: start fighting back. We can't allow these people to keep robbing us and get away with it." Knocked off his bike Olivier, of the Harmony sport club and 15-year-old HB "Hendrik" Kruger, a Grade 10 pupil at Acacia High School, went training on their mountain bikes on Thursday morning. Just past the caravan park at Wonderboom South they saw two men next to the dirt road. Oliver said from the Little Company of Mary Hospital that one of the men jumped in front of HB and knocked him off his bike. Olivier also landed on the ground. "One of the robbers grabbed a stick and hit HB on the head, but fortunately he was wearing a cycling helmet." HB said he decided that no one was going to take his bike away. "I feinted, and then landed a quick one-two combination." HB managed to deck the robber with his quick blows. Olivier, meanwhile was fighting for his life with the other robber who was armed with a knife. Olivier used his bike to ward off the man's weapon. "When I saw my chance I hit the man against the head with the back wheel of the bike. I could see that it had opened up his eyebrow." Olivier can't remember when he was stabbed. Wouldn't think twice about leaving "I've always tried to be positive. Just a few days ago, my neighbour was shot in his driveway. "I know of at least five people in Amandasig, who have been shot. "And, week after week, I plead from the pulpit for reconciliation. But, I can't any more. "If I got an offer to work in London tomorrow, I wouldn't think twice about leaving."

While this forum might give one the false sense of "I can say what I want and get away with it",the fact is if you accuse people of being a crook and a cheat you could be liable for legal action. Garth Thomas .wanted to post a reply on the forum but was advised not to do so and rather let the law takes it's course. Get a life people, Marvulli and Risi gets paid real money overseas and will not take smallchange to let other teams win.

Longbow makes some serious allegations and wants us to believe he knows the "inside" but he does not even know when and where SA Track champs are?

Maybe he doesn't like pink shirts??????

Mr Price (Old Hollandtots Holland Club) - Contact Francois Ashton @ Falconsport Maverick Cycles - Contact the shop

Easy. The Pros showed the Amateurs how it is done.

Carbonboy your first post on the Hub and you come out with smoking guns. Would not surprise me if you are a shop owner that are sour because you cannot compete with CWC. I have bought plenty of specials the past year and can only speak in the highest regard of CWC.

As far as I know both Ian and Darryl are not licensed through CSA??? They ride for foreign teams and cannot just transfer to another team for the Giro. If they were licensed under CSA they can get permission to ride for another team just for the Giro. Someone with more knowledge of the rules might be able to explain bettter

Will, speedy recovery for you. Man the bad luck is following you!! You have the "willpower" to bounce back soon. Good luck

Noord-Wes bring die reen

Hulle computers werk nog met parrafien

HRM - HR,speed Computer - Cadence, time Friggen still does not help to cycle any faster

CSC are planning to take some more podium places in Gauteng this year

Another character of the sport gone. Sad day for cycling.

So you agree? That piece of dirt road aint gonna kill no one. Maybe a puncture or 2? But other Tours in Africa also got some dirt sections.

I have been to Paris-Roubaix - That piece of dirt is a smooth and easy ride compared to the "Spitskoppe"

You do the maths: R120 sq/m to tar. Sounds like a lot of money

Just put the shoe on the other foot for a minute. Does all the riders always behave in a professional and descent manner towards the officials?????

This story still baffles me. Now that the other Hubbers are back on-line - what's going on here?
