With the international fuel prices running havoc, we might start to see a new uptake in e-bike commuting. I hear Dwayne Johnson declined shooting another iteration of the F&F franchises, I think he didn't take a liking to the new direction they were looking at...

So, are you telling me we might just have our first Female F1 race winner somewhere during this season...? Dependent on which side of the bed they might choose to get up from on Race Day? Girl Power! ⁽ᴵᶠ ᶦᵗ ᶦˢⁿ'ᵗ ᶜˡᵉᵃʳ ᵃˢ ᵈᵃʸ, ᵗʰᶦˢ ʷᵃˢ ᵃˡˡ ᵐᵉᵃⁿᵗ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵃ ʰᵉᵃᵛʸ ᵈᵒˢᵉ ᵒᶠ ˢᵃʳᶜᵃˢᵐ⁾

Experienced this first-hand. Do NOT do that final disassembly unless completely necessary. These things were not designed to be maintained by an average Joe like ourselves...

Pogi to go on the Poggio?! He is on ominous form and could do a "Nibali" on Saturday.

Roglic owes him big time!

Curious to know the story behind this photo and why he wasn't there. He seemed to have time for the broody-track-walk photo (Riccardo was off sick, thus the reason for his omission. Maybe LH had the same bug the day before)

Sjoe, Wout is on some serious form!

Got my two Pfizers when I was due, only side-effect was the sore arm. I'm considering going for the Booster, but to do it with the J&J this time round, just to stimulate the immune system with something different. I also need to do my Flu Shot before winter comes. I REALLY detest getting sick, it sucks. Plus, I have a marathon to train for in May, so can not really afford 2 weeks on the couch. I'd rather take a couple of day's worth of side effects from a shot.

And in other news, "purpoising" is the new buzzword. Methinks Snoop should get involved with the theme song for this season.. or at least until race 5 or 6 on the calendar. Cars look like real low-riders, bouncing to a beat.... "Teams were aware it might happen, but none expected it to be as extreme or regular as it has been. However, most technical directors believe it can be fixed with updates, albeit ones that were not part of the original development plans. McLaren's James Key suspects it will be less of a talking point by race five or six once teams have had time to solve the issue." https://www.espn.com.au/f1/story/_/id/33375038/porpoising-f1-new-buzzword-does-mean

Uhm, I think Rassie should consider adding this guy to the training squad...

Lekker manne! That is how you respond. Big performance to win the 2nd test in convincing fashion.

Solid performance from our boys this 2nd test!

Big improvement from our boys!

After watching this review and the one from the Lama Lab, I'm a little bit "meh". Price point needed to be lower to really make sense for many people. The bouncing that DCRainmaker experienced after sprints is concerning. Personally, I'd still go with a Kickr with an old 26er mounter permanently to the trainer.

Promising start at least...

Yep. I heard the latest DSTV advert over the radio. Something along the lines of: "You get Movies... Series... Sport.... Documentaries... Kids programming... news.... AAAA.... BBBB.... CCCC.... DDDD" But I don't want all that. They want to force you to buy all that content if all you want is Sport...? That isn't going to fly, especially if you are going to bill close to double what my uncapped Fibre Line is costing me. Dedicated Sport Streaming services and VPN is the answer. And for Springbok Rugby, we'll go braai at the in-laws...

Of soos Dale sal sê: 4 Slapies....

Very Cool. Been waiting for a company like Wahoo to do a Smart Roller Trainer. Looking forward to the real-world feedback on these.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but today's date is quite unique: (PS. Not my own work, stole it from another forum)

https://sectionaa.co.za/more-info/ More of a Renewable energy project than a bike project, but still interesting to follow. And looking at some of the cumulative km's some users on here put up, they would do this solo on a Gravel bike in even shorter time. But I think the focus of the project is to cover the distance predominantly on solar power. https://sectionaa.co.za/ @Matt, please merge with relevant thread if this has already been shared elsewhere.

Innings and 276 runs, thus our 2nd biggest defeat ever. Hard one to understand after we toppled India.

I do hope we see some sensible changes to race rules going forward. I personally have an issue with the unlapping of cars. It does not make any sense. Once you are lapped, you have proven that you are not as fast as the guys on the lead lap. Why do you get the benefit of gaining a lap back for no reason other than that you will be in the way of the lead cars at the restart. My solution to a fair restart. Let all the lapped drivers drop back through the field, behind the lead lap cars, or said the other way round: All drivers on the lead lap are allowed to overtake lapped cars while behind the SAFETY Car to be able to start in the correct order at the front, followed by cars on 1 lap down, then 2 laps down(Mazepin). It is quick to effect (can be done within a couple straights), and doesn't give an unfair boost to cars that were 1 lap down.

Match results influenced by shoddy refereeing is very seldomly overturned. Only when clear corruption is proven. And in those games, normally a rematch is scheduled, you don't just hand the victory to the other team. Many examples in Rugby with shoddy refereeing, results never overturned. I don't see why this would be any different. The 2007 Sharks team still feel the result was "stolen" due to that dodgy ruck in the final play. But the result stands and the Bulls and their supporters sleep very well with that result.

Yoh! Luckily it seems we will not be recording our biggest test defeat this time, but it might make our top 5... PS. 2002 was a tough season, results wise.
