  1. Sure, but comparing DH MTB to F1 is a very bad example. There's nothing stopping you from paying your way in by forming a team and qualifying last every time like Alfa Tauri or whoever is currently at the bottom. Try again 🙂
  2. You're a bit spiteful I think. If these guys are all we have and have made a huge effort to ride and race overseas then give them a go I say. Suddenly paying your own way is "self-entitlement". Weird.
  3. Except the World Champs is not the world cup, and is more of a go "gooi kliphard" one off where there is usually a far bigger field than in the Cup. Many countries field numerous riders who are not medal contenders. Why deny riders who are self -funding and come from a poorly represented country from gaining experience and possibly moving up a gear in a big event like this? All the excluded riders are talented and very fast. Its not like some arb okes from BikeHub want to go and feel hard done by. Maybe they should let some guys who have done "The race that measures all" go instead?
  4. In other news CSA has screwed over several SA DH racers by naming only one elite...Greg M in the elite division for World Champs...CSA need their tyre's deflated.
  5. And there I was thinking it was a Tiz issue 😉
  6. Where can I get a bottle of that magic K juice?
  7. Three horse race now!
  8. The Danish Anchovy was fantastic yesterday. The Slovalien thought he had him. Still, over a minute for JV to make up to get into yellow - what are his chances on the mountain stages?
  9. Pelo going along nicely at 49 km/h
  10. Took our 11 year old to Harkerville and did the Red Route. It was a battle for him (and his parents!) at times but he did well despite thee moaning. I upgraded an old Schwinn 26er hardtail for him with a decent fork and he now has the lightest bike of all, and this helped i think. Most kids bikes are horribly heavy, have rubbish tyres and stiff controls.
  11. You can join if you want Peepee. Always room for one more jerk.
  12. Yeah, swallowed it hook line and sinker.
  13. Maybe Jasper will leave some space for Bini now that he's won a stage 🤔
  14. Jasper really is a pr#ck. Just seen a replay of him forcing Girmay into the barriers in an intermediate sprint, I think. FFS.
  15. This kind of boring route should be banned - better to have a rest day 🙂 . Do these guys trash talk each other in the peleton to keep themselves awake?
  16. I say go team RSA. The track on the other hand looks like a snooze fest to watch racing on... gravel bike anyone?
  17. Maybe you need think a bit more and get your facts straight before going off against Motocross riding on your local trail. Jeez. Get used to it or get fitter 🙂
  18. Awesome weekend of MTB for SA. Greg's run was a lesson in smooth precision. Pierrons winning run was similarly precise, just faster. Alan took full advantage of the absence of some big names in this weird Olympic year. I wonder how he would have done with Nino, VC and a few others there? Candice is just amazing. You can see how chuffed she is with her improved performance.
  19. Yes, me too. I don't think eBike Motocross bike is the correct term. They are electric motocross bikes. They look and ride completely differently to a pedal assist eBike.
  20. Well today will probably determine who will will this debate...you or DnD. I do agree that the Anchovy has done amazingly well considering his injuries. TP should stick to XCO 😀
  21. United colour's of Benetton?
  22. It's not like these guys are a bunch of newbie riders. If they say it's dangerous it's dangerous. Another reason to despise WBD...
  23. What's next..full face helmets for XCO? Poor guy, that sounds awful.
