Contador looked so strong. Lance is still in second place which is still brilliant in my book!!

Them big mountains are coming, this will still be a good tour!!!

Phil is a legend and the Tour is richer for his commentary. It?s also great that he is so pro South African riders and our big races. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I think he is great

No the standard DSTV decoder cant be upgraded to a PVR. Different unit

I have the 6.5 and find it a great bike, the components are great and its a nice ride. I am not a serious rider but I have enjoyed this bike a lot.

The costs to ride at Northen Farm is very low - R9.00 per entry if you get a card. I agree with cat-i, people like this spoil it for those that use the farm, pay and enjoy it.

If you dont like CycleLab go where you get good service. I am happy to pay their prices because I get good service. Its not about price, is about value!!

I hate hearing about a cyclist down and even worse when you realise you know the person. If anyone has news on Steve, please let us know. I hope he is ok.

It is strange that a senior person in the ANC admitted guilt. If he followed his leader example, this would be in court for the next 5 years or more.

I think this is a great idea and it would help if there was an easy method/place to check the latest hotspots.

I had the same problem on my road bike. Tried to glue it but I think the only way is to get a replacement.

Which is the accepted 'correct' direction? There are arrows in both directions (probably from previous races). I have generaly gone anti-clockwise around the farm which seems to be the direction followed by most cyclists.

My advice is dont go on opening morning, nearly 50% of entries are collected in the first few hours. Its not as busy on Friday or Sat.

This is great news, well done. The spruit is an ideal place to ride and I appriciate the efforts of the Mountain Bike Patrol unit. I hope another visit is planned by your unit.

Hi, I have the new route and will email it to you. Please contact me.

This is great news, well done

I took a ride on the Braamfontein spruit this afternoon and was stopped by a guy who said two cyclists were high-jacked at about 5pm towards the N1 highway (close to the area where they are working on the highway) Has anyone heard anything???

CSA (Cycling South Africa) is the correct place for this. It should not be kept by a commercial timing company. It needs to be neutral and get info from the two main timing companies (and any other timing company that might appear in the future)<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> It needs to be national and not regional and should not prejudice anyone who might only have a WT chip and not CC or the other way around

There should be only one national seeding index and it should be owned by CSA. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The problem is that they don?t have the ability to do this. The only system that has been tested and kept up to date is the Cyclelab system. As mentioned, it also gets info from both Winning Time and Champion chip.

Although the race is a UCI race, only the first group that left at 5:45 was a UCI mens group. All other racing catogries were normal CGC events and were not part of UCI.
