It’s getting a bit of airtime on the gram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXUHp2CiHY7/?img_index=4&igsh=MTNjbGRqYzNubnRqdQ==

I see Merlin currently has in stock, probably won’t last long

Yeah, running burts at the moment. No issues yet, and they are frikken fast, but the stories others tell don't fill me with confidence (also they're a mission to get hold of). Will be very interested to see the rolling resistance tests (both BRR.com and John Karrasch

Very interesting option coming for those who want the "MTB tyre" but can't squeeze a 2.2: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/continental-dubnital-50mm-2in

Is that you at 18mins in the video? He was also complaining about rooiberg 😂

Depends if @David Jenkins can find his login or not 😂

apparently both podiums after women finish should be visma double... edit: or not...

thanks, Insta360 x4 air

Can't go wrong with Thunderburts, assuming you can find them...

Narrator: It had, in fact, not settled nicely 😂 Look, I’ve definitely had worse gravel, but I was very grateful to be running 2.1”s today. lekker morning out as always 👌 My one out front mount bolt completely left the chat halfway through the race after some particularly rough washboard, so only got 45km worth of video and rode the second half “blind” with my Garmin in my jersey pocket. temp_video_376207022779006976.mp4

Could be warm by the end

At least they're still finding a funny side

Have also had it done at Science to Sport in Cape Town. It's only useful if you're doing proper structured training. Think it cost R1850, but that was 2 years ago. Here's a decent overview of the suffering, this on done at the Girona lab:

Goosebump stuff

Yoh, we are nicely poised for tomorrow now

Greta has dropped due to illness, meaning there’s now almost an hour between first and second place in the ladies race

Willier not buying drinks for Buff-BH again 🤣

Tristan very much the nail for the rest of today 🙈

Think the Willier boys might be a bit grumps about the traffic at the end there

So the 2 transition stages have been made even longer (apparently to skip around farms due to foot and mouth) This one is gonna take some names I reckon

And also (because I also rode 1A and had words with someone), if you are insistent on being a passenger, then for the love of Alan Winde please don't also insist on sitting 2nd wheel....

ah, 1C 😂 Thanks Dean…
