Guys guys guys Its a pitty that Ronel hasn't made the team but the decision has been made and thats it. There is no way of changing the minds of the Selectors. They have their own agenda adn for the last 20 years I have been unable to work out what their motives are. Selection of teams has always been a royal f**kup in this country. That is what happens when you have people that know absolutely nothing about cycling running the sport. Unfortunately that is the current situation at CSA and nobody is going to be able to change that in the near future. There comes a time in every top level athletes career when the system just works totaly against them due to the hidden agenda's by those who have the power and control. Manriette Schoeman has been sent to so many World champs and has proiven every time to be well below standard. Why then has she continuously been selected for Worlds and Olympics. Ronel has clearly outclassed her this season but is also obviously out of favour with CSA at the moment. As for Robert, I am not to sure he actually wanted to go to worlds this year. I am certain not even the Retards who slect the national teams would leave him out for any other reason but his own decision not to be selected. (Saying that, I have seen stranger things happen). Cycling in South Africa will always be a circus as long as you have the current system in place. Its a pitty that riders like Cherise Taylor are going to have their careers destroyed by a 200kg cycling selector who cant even balance themselves on a bicycle. My bet (And I hope they prove me wrong), Manriette will puncture, crash or sit at the back of the bunch the whole day along with the rest of the ladies team. If they do make it to the finish they will get hammered anyway.
