    Giving sportsman of the year to Kipchoge would be like giving it to an F1 driver, a sport where engineering is 90% of performance. O, wait...

    ???? Choises, choises. A pair of 2nd hand shifters will be cheaper than the fork+paint.
  3. Christie
    Yes, you will have to upgrade shifters to DA 7900 or change the whole drivetrain to Campy to get rid of the antennae. Shimano abandoned fugly out-the-side cable routing for the brifters from 7900 onwards.

    Nice ???? (Imo the insect antennae look of the wires coming out the side of the brifters, spoils it a bit, though)

    ☝️ cornering traction importance is relative to how fast you go. Go watch the riders in the second half of the field, they crawl down singletrack, grinding brake corrugations into all the corners. I ride a minion DHF front and a High Roller 2 rear, both 2.3

    Good call Imo on the 2.35, Ikerarri. From what Ive seen, only the potential stage winners hammer the descents at max pace. (Front 4 or 6). The GC bunch are more conservative, and outside the top 20 even more so. Choosimg priotiry should be: puncture resistance, side wall protection, comfort, low rolling resistance, climbing traction, sand traction, cornering traction.

    Imo they should try David Miller at 4 or 5. Imo he has more to offer, but he seems to be seen as an ODI & t20 finisher. What about Chris Morris? The rest of the world rates him highly as an allrounder, but not us.

    We dropped our best batsmen, Maharaj, too.

    ☝️that seems to be the case, and that neither CSA nor the veterans knew ????‍♂️ 120km seems about normal, it is the 80km max for masters that looks too short.

    ☝️ Momentum dropped the push-ups and sit-ups a yearor 2 ago. The did a skin fold test for fat measurement when I went last.

    He is a batting consultant. They asked Boucher in the post match interview why Kallis was not at the match in PE, to which he answered that they can only use him for a limited nr of hours. I think he would be a great batting coach. But if he is not available full time, get an additional full time batting assistant, who can work with the rest while Kallis works with the biggest problems.

    Du Plessis: " we knew the toss was going to play a roll" ... And sonething about the pitch assisting their spinners ???? Im not so sure about both these points. That last stand showed that the pitch was good for batting on day 5. Their spinners did not get a lot of turn, even on day 5 pithch. Im guessing the batsmen were not mentally up for anything else but batting first. Secondly, with so many rookies in the squad, not having a batting coach caused disaster. Markram has technical issues against spin, Hamza off his hips, vd Dussen vs spin.

    Perhaps email bike insurers, too.

    Boucher: " its not a technical issue" ???? I wonder what it was, then?

    They are making Root and Bess look like master spinners. VdDussen looked like a confused giraffe, playing different shots with with his feet and bat. Imagine if they were facing Ashwin and Jadeja ????

    I wonder how the pep talk went this morning: "lets go out and show them who is boss!" 10 min later: "Ok, lets go out again, and try something else"

    Compared to some of the top order, Nortje looks like the next Kallis

    How did grinding it out yesterday turn into tonking from the first over this morning? ????‍♂️ Did the brains trust instruct them up the run rate?

    Re Faf: class is permanent, form is temporary. He is the second best batsmen we have, after QdK. (His stats of 29 x 50s 9 x 100s and average is actually better then QdK) They would be dof to even think about dropping him.

    Bay2bay run event in Camps bay also cancelled. Right call imo, event does not have road closure, racing bunches usually all over the road in the wind. And there are always those "I can ride my deep sections in a crosswind just like a pro" guys. (Despite the Chris Froome crash)
