  1. Yeah, swallowed it hook line and sinker.
  2. Maybe Jasper will leave some space for Bini now that he's won a stage 🤔
  3. Jasper really is a pr#ck. Just seen a replay of him forcing Girmay into the barriers in an intermediate sprint, I think. FFS.
  4. 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?
  5. I say go team RSA. The track on the other hand looks like a snooze fest to watch racing on... gravel bike anyone?
  6. 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 🙂
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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 😀
  10. United colour's of Benetton?
  11. 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...
  12. What's next..full face helmets for XCO? Poor guy, that sounds awful.
  13. And yet we have Piccolo ferrying growth hormones..
  14. I agree - its well kitted out with a dropper post. They get good reviews.
  15. The Titan of those two. However, it looks as if its been over forked. Surely not meant to have a 150mm fork. Could probably change the air spring piston to reduce the travel to 120.
  16. Its going to be quite a bit more than a real bike. Drivetrain and brake wear will be slightly higher leading to decreased replacement intervals . Tyres may also wear more quickly especially out back. An out of warranty motor replacement is not a lekker prospect.
  17. Yeah, they even asked the question " ya thinks he's doping" From what I've learned from that show and the YouTube channel above, cheating or at best seeking gains by whatever means possible is just ingrained in cycling culture. Look at how the hair doping team go about riding other people off the road in sprints. Crazy.
  18. These lower level teams need to chat to the big boys so "their larger doping regimens" don't get messed up like this. EF need a new drug mule now.
  19. Funny, but you missed the point. It was a master class in who was fit and technically proficient and who was less so. Pidcock channeled his inner sausage dog better than the rest. They should consider having XCO back in Cape Town midwinter, the weather ie better here 🙂
  20. I think it was Mathis Azarro of Decathlon. Results show he dnfd after doing 5 laps.
  21. Was a super interesting race to watch. Didn't suit NS at all but he still got a 4th. I wonder if he went with dry tyres? Pidcock is on another level.
  22. It is a bit gnarly but these riders are good. Batten was raving about the track. I know you don't but many in SA view XCO as a close cousin of THE EPIC which it has never been. It's always had more in common with Enduro in many ways. All tracks now have drops and jumps and there are multiple alternative lines. I vote to keep the rock drop!
  23. I suspect the stock wheels on this bike will be pretty weak and have hubs that chew bearings unless they've upped there lower end wheel game from a few years back. That said, it wont cost a fortune to replace them as and when the time arises - rear first with a decent hub from Lyne or Rapide and DT alloy rim...
  24. Or pay R30k or more for carbon so you can enjoy one or more extra beers per night 🙂
