Come on, Dale... Baggies, short socks, the back of a camel... A-group by Argus time. And so much easier to store the Apple Danish for half way!

Camelbak!!

Wiggo got a cute TUE for 'chronic' condition?

Which ones did you do? I can't find any other than the Vitality age on for 2500pts?

Hmmm... Why is it that fine, white powder follows some athletes about? I remember the French tennis player (Gasquet) who got off by saying he kissed a girl at a party. If only he'd kissed his pharmacist, it would have been more believable.

I will always give a tip if I deem it necessary for education purposes #adviceisfree

Yup, but like most things circumstances do play a part. Getting a podium after needing hectic treatment is dodgy as hell. Guess my point is the same as yours - get treatment, don't race. And these guys do race often - if it was that bad you're jeopardising the next races. Pull out.

This I think is the main point. A doctor should always have the person's best health issues at heart, and should record it as such. He should also inform the client, especially in a race circumstance whether it is on the banned list or not. There is a grey area where we forget that pro athletes are humans who also do have valid medical conditions caused by things outside their control. If it was me in a terrible state, I would rather be treated for dehydration than suffer. But I am not a pro athlete who pulls himself off his deathbed to race the next day, while doped, in an attempt to deprive someone else of winnings/earnings. And that to me is where the athlete's responsibility fails. But I also do not pretend to know the pressure by sponsirs/teams/etc to continue. (I am not talking about true dopers - only athletes caught on valid medical situations)

3? That sounds like 2-0. At least give the Sav 'most handsome team', or something!

Empathise with a man from the top of his head to the tips of his toes, you mean! No picking on here. Ah, I see, banned for sophistication. So like you, Mr Snobbee!

You will probably find the no. 1 reason is 'Slowbee's twitchy trigger finger' - poor guy has been on a lot of pain medication this year. After that will come 'Baiting, Double Posting, Fraud, Deviance, CWC, etc, etc'

Ag, c'mon, Myles, you are the know-it-all, the bike tech specialist, the medical aider, and the weight-loss guru. If you cut back we will all be broke, fat, useless, unhealthy Trump supporters... # Myles 2017 (Or we'd be discussing 'The Secret' as our best method of dealing with Discovery...)

The 39 Steps? Gees... AA only has 12!

We are clearly in the same boat. I think 'taking the piss' has been misunderstood.

Yes... Yeah, name and shame. What a knob! (You know what I mean!)

After watching Jeannie, I think Nino and Anneke, starting with the men. Hmmm...

Don't think this is a coaching thing. It's a fitness thing. The Sevens guys are clearly unbelievably fit. The 15's are a bunch of blobs. Sorry, but they were wandering about at half speed during that last game.

My friend just finished Day 2 with a lift over Hels. Says someone did die. RIP

My friend is doing it and said his registered 36C and that a whole bunch of people on the 60km had 10km removed off the course due to the heat. Perhaps you were through the course faster than them?

I haven't gone to bed early for years. Probably explains my poor performance.

The last time they won, he pretty much admitted that Jaro was in a totally different league. Suspect the same will happen here if he is in any form.

The Blitzbokke are every bit as good as the Springboks are bad. Wow!

Fan-bloody-tastic!

Yup, I punctured in a hideous crash of some guys and ended up going through with a big group of G-J guys. Was like a bowling alley.

Hi guys, is this then on the dirt road over Malans as per the one 99er? Will it be graded?
