Joel: Well NEWS just in... CRAIG HARVEY AKA 101% has demolished the rest of the field and WON the TT, NAAS any comments? Naas: Well Joel, on the other hand you can place the VETS 30 field in and then in my other hand you can place Craig Harvey AKA 101% because vhis man is in a league of his own. First to wake up, first to have breakfast, first to warm up and the first in the TT... Amazing. Joel: Well as you can hear things are really hotting up here in Bloem despite the WET weather, back to you Kobus. Kobus: (Paramedics doing the heimlich maneuver to remove the Steak and Kidney pie), SuperSport cut for an Ad break. Ad: Steers, Real food made real good... Jason2007-06-01 03:50:43

Just got a SMS from 101% (I feel special )1st CRAIG HARVEY WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2nd Dav Lappies and 3rd Petrus furie... 101% YOU GEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kobus: And now we cross over live to Bloem where Joel Stransky is standing with Naas Botha at the TT... over to you Joel. Joel: Yes thank you Kobus, well what a day we had yesterday and today it's gonna be another HUMDINGER. Surprising results crept up yesterday but today we see that start of the elite men and ladies. Naas what is your take on SA's so far? Naas: You see Joel, wiff so much talent out vhere it's hard to predict a winner. We've seen some BIG names perform below par and some pretty interesting fings happen. Joel: Looking at the Elite ladies start, who's your favorite? 74 VAN DER MERWE MARISSA 11:28 75 VAN WYK RONEL 11:29 76 CLARK ALTIE 11:30 77 MOORE ANKE 11:31 78 CONRADIE ENGELA CATHARINA 11:32 79 OOSTHUYSEN SAMANTHA 11:33 80 BURGER LYNETTE 11:34 81 SLINGERLAND CASHANDRA 11:35 Naas: Joel, like I said, the BIG name's have struggled or performed below par... if they can keep it tight in the loose maul then they should breeze fru vis easy, my hot favorites for today would be, Cashandra (Current TT champ), Lynette and be on vhe look out for Anke and maybe Marissa... Vhey my wild cards... Joel: Well thank you Naas. As you can read, we've got it straight from the horses mouth. Back to you Kobus. Kobus: (Choking on Steak and Kidney pie) *cough* | Supersport cuts to an ad break. Ad: SPAAAAAR HAAAAR GOOD FOR YOU - SPAR GOOD FOR YOU

Well done to Andrew McLean who also rode a good TT putting a minute in to his closet rival... FANTASTIES OOM!!!

Dit is die beste wat ek kon kry, sy was te vinning vir my Cherise se nuwe TT fiet's in action, sy is so maer jy kan haar nie op die fiets sien nie... Jason2007-05-31 08:11:26

Thanks for adding the time latrinus. If you were a chic I would have vry'ed you lekker...

Almost time for MR. MCLEAN! Off at 14:50PM I got him down to win by 5 minutes ok ok... I'll be nice, lets say 2 minutes and a little bit. Ahead of him is Graeme Cronje who is not to bad himself and once the toppies are done it's the U23's , Tipping Kakkel HOFER (As Phil would say) there. Where's Phen?

bruce, quick question... If it feels like I'm pushing 700W for 20 minutes *evil Laugh* and my heart only hits 170... is this something to worry about? Cause I'm expecting to see close to 180+ beats... let me know... Jason2007-05-31 07:08:43

EINA!!

Latrinus... one request... can you guys maybe add the time in next to the results on when the file was last uploaded? If it's a hassel don't worry I'll just download the file and see what's new, oh and one more thing, can you get me some coffee please?

Well I'm sitting here in the office and my heart must be at 170bpm... I'm all excited for the chaps doing SA's especially Pauline Cound... Wish I could be there ...as I speak, um type, Pauline has just started her TT... GO PAULINE!!!!!! , I won't be surprised if she catches a couple of the riders ... maybe the distance is to short for her but I still think she'll do well... Back to Solitaire ...

Taylorchic has also just left the blocks!!! Go Taylor!!!

Michelle's mum is taking part today in the TT... She's off at round about 11... She has my ZIPPS and hopefully she can put them to good use... cause I'm still trying... I reckon she'll do well and post an awesome time... If I was a chic in her cat, I'd be k@king right now.

I agree linnega, Duval had to totally break Di Luca before Zoncolan but it never happened... Liquigas controlled the race well and once the climb started they were all out the back... but the job was done and Di Luca was pretty much fresh for the climb... Ricco was a bit disappointing but he still has lots to learn and I was a bit cheesed at Di Luca for pipping Cunego at the end after all the hard work Cunego did pulling him back... Not that Cunego was working for him but hell... I suppose in this game there's no gifts huh. Jason2007-05-31 01:35:54

Yup... See Simoni said on cyclingnews.com that the stage win was more than enough for him and he has now tipped Di Luca as the winner. Initially I thought when Simoni went and left Di Luca this could be good, but hats off to Di Luca for hanging in there and hats off to Simoni for trying. Tough climb and very glad Simoni got the stage win... Schleck was also impressive. Jason2007-05-31 01:22:52

Yup Simoni's been a bit off, but I still think there's something there for him... He was quite aggresive on a few stages last week and let Di Luca know that's he's not going down without a fight... we'll see today...should be good racing... Hopefully a few early attacks with someone in it who's a threat on GC tire the Liquigas team with all the chasing and leave Di Luca to battle the bump at the end against the whole Duval team...

Hope Simoni does a bit of magic... Still think today's finish will be one of the best... I like Di Luca but I hope Simoni has something in the bag (Besides Stage 17 stuff... like Floyd had) oh and today is also stage 17 . Can't wait to get home and watch...
