Make an offer for the damaged bikes. Not sure if things have changed but I managed to buy back a Cervelo R5 with Dura Ace and Zipps for R500 and only the fork and front wheel was broken. The insurance had no interest in keep or disposing of it.

Send him to the Tour! If he is good enough then he is old enough.

Bikes on the roof?

Go Remco!! 🤩 And seeing this is a SA thread - Byron & Stefan with MA. 😎

Great summary although I don't agree with the ablutions at GB. I also participated in GB last year and the route was very average. Bleak that I missed out on GRG but I am familiar with the route having ridden it many times. Don't think I'll be back at GB later this year but definitely keen on GRG.

Podiums after ladies finish for both races. Hannah Walker and Carlton Kirby must be the worst commentators around. Give me Rob Booth, Robbie McEwan and Ant McCrossan all day long please.

Dangerous cycling causes annoyance, dangerous driving kills. Cyclists are not the problem, drivers are the problem.

Go Remco!! Time to end the Pog/MvP dominance.

The dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas.

I know it's easy to comment from the couch but the only small mistake that Pidcock made was that he was on the right and possibly momentarily blocked when launching. Was hoping that Doug Ryder would have another MSR winner after Ciolek all those years ago.

Wasn't he partnered with Beers previously? I think we underestimate what an absolute machine Matt Beers is. 2 things that brings absolute delight and pleasure to South Africans is Beers stringing out the bunch and the Springbok pack dominating the opposition.

Prediction for today: Pritzen will help Beers & Tristan. Remember he is going to Lifetime. The day will come when he needs a buddy.

No, only Felix.

All the cool kids are in white bibs and white shoes, does my head in.

Don't rate Arianne as a commentator specially interviewing the riders.

Can't see how the short distance is helping the ladies when only elites are riding short. What's next? 35km marathon? 80m sprint? Midmar 3 quarter mile? 50km Comrades? Only benefit I can see is that Elite ladies can get up a hour later.

I'm holding thumbs for both SA men and Candice Lill. I'm sure Tristan is setting new power numbers following Beers. 😂

No Scott teams, no Bulls and no Spez team in the ladies race. Beers/Nortje must be clear favourites.

Masterclass by Bora, fast asleep by UAE. Hoping that Pellizzari can hang on, or even Roglic.

Agree with this plus of course Toyota Specialized and Alleman & Stosek.

Update on Montagu Pass Following recent enquiries from readers about the Montagu Pass between Herold and George, Jeff Ayliffe spoke to the Western Cape Department of Infrastructure for an update. While the news may not be as we hoped, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Readers are reminded that the pass remains strictly off-limits to the general public. In its current condition, any incident in the mountains would make access extremely difficult for emergency services, posing a serious safety risk. Authorities urge the public to continue respecting the closure until further notice. Video: Jeff Ayliffe (2) Instagram

The teammate is copping the ban. Emma letters......those were the days and Fanda was right all along.

Yolande de Villiers and Tyrone White

I see a couple of dopers are back, did they change the rules?
