Well .... lets see, I for sure hope you wrong ... ????
Edit: About Cav that is. As far as Wout is concerned, I'm with you.
I would not mind at all if Cav or Sags take todays stage.

Yoh yoh yoh
Brandon McNulty lost 6:57 and Michael Woods came in 8:49 down. Chris Froome was 14:37 down, while Sepp Kuss conceded 16:29.
Richie Porte (Ineos) lost 2:16, Simon Yates lost 3:17 and Alejandro Valverde lost 5:33.
Miguel Angel Lopez (Movistar), Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) and Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo-Visma) all lost 1:49.
This is very sad, some serious riders/contenders are now on the back foot big time.

Stage 1. MvdP(1st) - WvA(2nd) - JA(3rd)
Stage 2. WvA(1st) - JA(2nd) - MvdP(3rd)This way, WvA takes over Yellow after stage 2 ????
Thats sounds like a plan to me .... ????. Unfortunately it never works out how we want ????.

Imagine MvdP getting yellow on stage 1. I certainly wish that dream comes true!!!

Robbery and attempter murder for running me over with a polo and then stealing the remains of my supersix.
Flip, I hope they dont want me to identify this dudes wrist tattoo or freckles as I was not really paying that much attention while he rode me over then turned around and tried to run me over again.
All the best for Mon, go get them !

I was pleasantly surprised, the trails are super fun, well maintained and marked. Nothing hectic, a couple of hairpin switchbacks, but In General some of the most fun I had on the bike in a while.
The terrain and screnery varies from time to time
it’s dry at the moment
this way…
lest not forget, the neighbourhood… Pelindaba, shrouded in mystery, secrets and clandestine weapons grade plutonium enrichment…
i Feel that the routes at hennops could have been named differently, example “ yellowcake road” “pebble bed trail” “reactor road” etc.
When they say dont ride in this bridge, they mean it…it’s got a nasty pendulum effect, that gets worse the more you try and counter steer the swing….
and then of course, when in the area, it’s sinful to not go to the alehouse for post ride pizza and beer… the boegoe beer is nice, but the blonde they served today was sublime.
(Boegoe Beer pictured)
was a great day out.
I'm definitely going to give the Hennops trails a shot. Never considered it before ...
Anyone else also going to miss a team time trial? Such a pity its becoming a thing of the past.

Agree, we as cyclist/customers should put pressure on them to step up or step down.
I'm all for Roglic redeeming himself after last years disasterous ITT ...

Measured from center to center, so yes also think thats a 90mm.
I would also rather go anywhere else but will buy consumables from them if I have no other choice. Yes, the one in Alberton is very crap but it is only 1km from me so if I need a bomb or something quickly yes I will buy from them.

Yip agree! I will never let any Cajees do work on my bike, fine to buy stuff from but that's it.

I got Shimano 9 spd but no SRAM.
13 hours ago, RobertWhitehead said:A partner and I are keen on entering a 2 man team for the 2021 Dash, but we have some questions:
1) How quickly does the entries sell out?
2) I have done some ultras in the past so I was wondering how this one compares?
3) Is it really tough or will we be ok? I am not too concerned about my fitness level and experience but rather that of my partner, he has not done anything further than the Tshwane Classic (+/-110km)
4 man goes in literally minutes, 2 man not so bad - couple of days, and single not a problem to get a spot at all.
Its tough, especially if you do 2 man or single, I done it twice 2017 & 2018 in a 4 man team, also challenging but far less hectic. You should be fine I think.
I suggest you do the first half its much tougher, the second is a lot easier let your team mate do that rather, here its more a question of being able to be in the saddle for a long time. Agree, get your partner to up his mileage somewhat.
So I suppose discussing the new proposed firearm bill is COMPLETELY out of the question?

I was as surprised as you but I saw a video by some "experts" and apparently they reckon he is the favorite .... ????
