  1. Tactics gonna be interesting now!
  2. 17,250m of climbing in 657km? Ouch!
  3. He is no noob to this type of event but he is a noob to the Munga. Benky and co have the local knowledge - LM is the better rider (or is he???). Hopefully we'll see!
  4. Agreed. Would have been interesting to see how World Tour went against Benky and co that have a few Mungas under their belts. Oodles of power versus experience....
  5. Daaaamn 500km done and the top 4 are within 10km of each other. Exciting stuff!
  6. https://m.feltet.dk/nyheder/flere_tidsfrister_overskredet_profil_gaar_planken_ud/ It is in Danish but basically it says all hope is not lost and that Qhubeka have some time....
  7. That should be the new Hub motto!
  8. That is always the problems with governmental failures. They never say what they did. The resultant speculation is usually more damaging than the act itself. Who really knows what the guy did to get sent home early...
  9. https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/sport/2021-06-24-da-wants-to-know-if-alleged-sex-pest-coach-will-be-picked-for-the-tokyo-olympics/ It doesn't mention Davids specifically...
  10. Okay so what did the guy do?
  11. This thread has been stereotype heaven! Luvvin it ????

    Expos are for panic shopping - 45 gels to get you through a race you haven't trained for. The explosive diarrhea you experience along the way helps to improve your watts/kg!
  13. What? You should sleep well every night. That's what 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets are for!
  14. They shoot they score. Sworks h8rs 1 - NotSoBigBen 0!
  15. My favourite was the amble parking. I love thehub. Never a dull moment here.
  16. How to solve a problem 101. Please don't block the entrance. Well your music is too loud and you drive badly. I demand to be thanked for not blocking the entrance. Job done. Everybody wins.
  17. Let's hope Doug has another rabbit left in that hat of his - he has already pulled several out though! One of the stumbling blocks for me was the failed Riis deal - everything that man touches ends up all grimy and soiled.
  18. 100%. When people want to get from the parking lot to the shop they generally use the entrance - which in this case is blocked by a bunch of cyclists. This is a really simple problem to solve and yet...egos, finger pointing and me me ME! The mind boggles.

    It's gotta be a tough decision when the car goes right but you know/feel you should go left...throw in the racing stress and it becomes really, really difficult. Really sad that a split second decision and a clueless driver/official ruined her race.
  20. I think the TQA dream is almost buried.... No riders, no sponsor, way past the deadline, no news in weeks. I'm pretty sad about it. Being an expat is a little easier when you have a saffer team in the Protour.

    We'll never know who the "real" winner is because we didn't get a fair race. Solo breakaways that last 85% of the race seldom survive to the end. A 2 minute advantage at the halfway mark certainly swings it in her favour though. Moral victory but legal loss in my opinion.
  22. Revving an old thread because.....cyclocross doesn't get enough appreciation. I've been watching a lot more of it since moving to Europe and what is not to like? The riders are all pretty chilled and relaxed, they're ridiculously strong (hello Matthieu, Wout, Tom etc), the racing is short, hard and full of drama, beer is an integral part of the sport... The only thing I don't like are the bikes getting horribly abused ????
  23. I see the Cavinator revently used the word "despised" when talking about his relationship with Doug Rider. That isn't good!
  24. It's the workshop at my fitting studio ???? The shop is an old apartment...
