Think I can handle the stigma attached to Pina's. Wanna buy me one instead??? :P

Off topic, irrelevant and ill informed comment

But no legal action against our friends from Cycle Science?

Do not think it is a very hot deai. 2014 model retails for R17k and as far as I can see comes with combi of Shimano 105 (shifters and rear derailler) and Tiagra (rest). Reckon it should be possible to get a 2013 model of a good make with 105 / Ultegra combi. Just do some shopping around with LBS's and tell them you are ready to move on the right deal

Heard yesterday that the course contains 38000m ascent over 3500km in 3 weeks. Ratio sounds about right but still puts my efforts nicely in perpective as I have not reached 30k ascent on year to date basis yet On a different note: why is Phil Liggitt no commentating?

How do they decide which rider wears the pink yersey after TTT win?

Not sure this makes me want to go ride but definitely makes me see others ride

Jealous, very jealous

Could it be the little fellow objects to the spelling: Helmut vs helmet? Or are you just ensuring he is conversant with German first names?

Not sure how flexible you are timewise but easiest solution is to start riding a little later. Sure it is cold on the highveld first thing but come 8am you'll have perfect riding weather again

There is a proper roadie attitude. Always focussed on conserving energy for that next climb. More of that makes for a more pleasant world

That a quote from Inspector Grim of The thin blue line?

Made me curious. Wanna share?

The Giant TCR used to come with Ultegra driver train (and 105 brakes) which I reckon would make it the best buy

Settling in with my 3D cinema glasses to watch reaction to this one!!

Why did you not do your turn at the front???

:clap: :clap:

Lucky b#stard. Nothing as humbling as seeing the real kerels tackle the mountains. Done it once in TdF and still recovering. They ride tiwce as fast over twice the distance with twice the ascent. Demigods. Enjoy

We have a group of 10 riders in the area (on/off road). Arrange rides on Whatsapp. Drop me your cell and name in PM if you want me to add you

Not sure which month you' re talking If May: great, Giro is from 9th till 1 June If June: tough, just after Giro and before Tour If July: great Le grand boucle starts on 5th Hope that helps and green with envy if you' re there for option 1,3

Was waiting for the radio Dale broadcast to kick off

Did go have a look at Blue Hills Estate today and found it very dissappointing. Road surface was not suited to racing at all. Am really surprised that it was signed off. Not many spectators. Overall feel was not in line with the calibre of teams participating The estate put up a pretty good show with plenty of entertainment for children, food etc. Anyone a better experience?

Does anyone know?

And speaking the same language (well most of them anyway). Poor bastards

Surely this is a wind up! I cannot see CB being that swift on the trigger and doubt that any of their team monitor The Hub. Today's rhyme Derek Watts on a bike would be quite a sight.
