Ok ok....guys, just like in America and many countries except for China where they will lock you up,evryone has his/her own oppinion, but the good thing is we dont have to bloody listern to it. Going back to the issue at hand, before posting your point of view on the hub...were you aware that there were other much easier better routes you could have took. Like: writing to the editor of the mag and tell him what you think as a person subscribing to his mag, I understand they even have readers/letters section or something which are always usefull and are there to cater for people to say whatever and you can even get a response from the people running the mag. If you fed up, you can simply not renew your subscription, think thats diplomatic enough coz I doubt touchline or even Bicycling would bring themselves to this level and post a reply on this forum. I dont subscrbe to either, I buy what I like on the shelf...If I think its crap I dont buy, you should try it

This is fantastic stuff for the guys at Life Academy, wish I had the bucks to try for the merchandise. Great stuff and hope you make a difference with the proceeds.

Me to me to me to!! I also wanna know whats happening!!!

http://www.bicycling.co.za/static/exclusives/index.php?id=2521 Well, here comes another year of delays and court trials. $@cken dop-heads.

great site there!! where has it been? or where have I been? Anyway to the issue at hand, I think Rob has hit the spot there!! who runs this lab???

I hope the rumor about shifting to soccer is not true. Through my encounters with Ntsebeza, he is very up-bit about transformation and development, therefore if the final decision would be upon him, there is no way in hell that he would be impressed by John Lee's top 10 "if he were to ride an incredible race" nonetheless if he were to choose between soccer and cycling, it would be soccer unless Barloworld were sending a super team with riders of color to the tour.

"Got this from the Team website" wonder what the other South African's think. Team Barloworld's position regarding Ryan Cox's physical problems http://www.teambarloworld.com/img/trasp.gif http://www.teambarloworld.com/public/teambarloworld/foto/Comu_8_6_07_int.jpg http://www.teambarloworld.com/img/trasp.gif Team Barloworld rider Ryan Cox has recently published information on his personal website about his health problems that are incorrect and blame the team management for the lack of proper planning of his racing programme considering the problems he is facing. Last week Dr Mantovani, ?the official Team Barloworld doctor, studied the results of the examinations Cox underwent at the "Centre Hospitalier Universitaire" in Angers, France. Team Barloworld manager Claudio Corti suggested that Cox find a specialist in Italy for a second opinion and also suggested he ask the opinion of Prof Chevalier, the well-known French vascular surgeon, as Dr Abraham had requested. It was agreed by both by Cox and the team management that Cox would carry on racing in two short stage races: the Bizikleta Vaska in Spain and the CTT Correios in Portugal, and then take advantage of the long pause (Cox isn't one of the riders selected for the Tour de France) to undergo, if believed to be necessary by the specialists, an eventual operation. "Cox has a problem with his left iliac artery that is due to its unusual length and flexibility," Dr Mantovani said. "It's a cronic problem that first appeared last year and that caused Cox various problems, especially in his back. His current situations does not appear to be different and while waiting for a response from Dr Chevalier, there is no reason why Cox cannot race." "I think the things Cox has written on his web site are wrong and childish because he agreed his race programme with us," team manager Claudio Corti said. "Rather than create further problems, he should try and find out if an operation will effectively help him in the long-term. In recent races Cox has shown some good form despite complaining about pain in his left leg." http://www.teambarloworld.com/img/trasp.gif

The poor guy rode a Cervelo road bike for the road race, don't know about the TT, Have you noticed that the guy keeps on getting himself kicked out of every team each year and just before the SA's, remember last year with the Colopress team? He had vowed to change this year, guess not, mybe the problem is with the teams or maybe him. Guess he likes being solo?

I fill sorry for those guys, so do you mean you are sending them to the race with no intentions to win the thing? sounds like tokenism to me!! who'd not wana be them and thought CSA stopped making use of the term, somethings will remain the same.

Great job by you and your team. Now something important... with only two guys from UCI B team managing to sneak into the top 10, how they hell are you going to win us the B Champs?

Phen- you must be a fan of Juan, I use to be!! anyway I was standing at that killer climb and Juan rode halfway and stopped, team car came next to him , he said he was done and was ordered to continue and he did but eventually stopped. its called "broken" the race was hard, hard hard for him!!!!!!!!!!! Hanco finished. Juan stopped with a knee problem.

That is brilliant for dawid!!!! Well done to him! I dont know if he will remember me' date=' but tell him i said well done [/quote'] I heard non of the Harmony guys finished in the under23, so lets live CSC riders alone. I guess no one could have predicted that the top ten would be like this. WP & Boland ONLY MANAGED THE LAST THREE POSITIONS IN THE TOP 10 "Shame' SG ROCKS.
