the Proteas have their black armbands on for John Commins, a fomrer player, who was stabbed and killed in a house robbery a few days ago.... also condolences to his family and friends

A sad day indeed : Burry was a true cycling legend and a great ambassador for the sport of cycling as well as for South Africa. R.I.P. young man & my family's condolences to Cherise, family and friends

Will Sagan be strong enough to make an impact after 300kms ?....maybe after 150-160kms maybe.....reckon a stronger roadman sprinter will win : my good money would be on Freire for the 4th time with Haussler, Goss and possibly even Ballan to keep out the big faves (Cancellara, Boonen, Cavendish)However, for the beauty and history of the race, I'd like Boonen to get his name on the racewinner's list as he's been so close 2 or 3 times and his time is NOW !!

Thanks, Dawie : appreciated !

Hi DJR Did you manage to ride the Argus with your son ?.....and if so, how'd it go ?.... next question : are you still intent on keeping the tandem ? ....if the answer's NO, then I'd love to be able to come and see it with a view to purchasing it from you for my wife and I to enjoy some social riding together and hope to become compatible enough to enter next year's event. I rode with Peugeot equipment in Europe during the 80's so have a bit of a soft spot for the old badge and would love the opportunity to restore this one for old time's sake... Let me know thanks Lee lee.daniels@allangray.co.za / 072 0193670
