That is a thing of beauty. Thats incredible... Now where is the Bianchi?

Looks like they used it as the wheel stop for the plane. Sorry...

My point exactly!

Your like a bunch of b!tchy little girls when it comes to Lance. If he'd ridden off the front and left everyone for dead, the Hub would be ablaze with "How can they let a demon race against our pro's in our race, its not fair" The big picture, Lance did OUR biggest race, and he seems to only have pleasant things to say about SA. I sure hope he didnt check out the Hub, coz its just shamefull.

I believe there was heavy police presence on the Steps today...armed and on foot? Nice...good to see the Rossers are are aware and prepared to assist. Thanks SAP...

Wrong. Cars may have the power' date=' speed, weight and capacity to mow down cyclists but actually they are at the end of the chain. First come pedestrians, then horses (and riders), then bicycles. Cars and other motorised vehicles come last. (Maybe we should go back to the days of having a person walking ahead of cars with red flags to ensure that they don't hurt the first users of roads and tracks. Most civilised countries, and civilised peoples, respect the weaker users of the road (who also happen to be largely taxpayers). Car users without respect? Well, they don't deserve respect.[/quote'] Bravo... Could not have said it better myself. Anyone remember their learners test? Who gets right of way? Like Mushi said, cars sure aint the top of that list. But I do agree we cyclists need to ditch our 'we are entitled to the road' attitude.

I'm going with Impey. GO DARRYL!!!!

Pretty much!!

Ok...leave the doping issue alone, Lance has never tested +...neither has Contador. Lets just leave it there

...I see where this is gonna go.

Yeah, now theres a great idea Andy. Do back to back days of racing...of which the first is very hilly. Thats a great idea, and its a little like doing a stage race with back to back racing.

You know what the coolest thing is? The fact that this weekend is as HUGE as it is. Its the Cape Argus, ridden by Lance Armstrong...and the whole country knows it. Thats immense in my books... Everyone (cyclist or not) knows Lance is in the country riding OUR race. Thats HUGE exposure. ChrisH, I agree...given the chance everyone wants to race Armstrong!

Agreed. The hour record is the ultimate test! No 8 man draft train like the postal express to help out on this one!! Agreed. The "Hour" reveals all...no one can hide on a flat oval track. Conditions are the same for everyone...its proving ground for greatness in my opinion.

Thats funny...
