Gebied staat meer bekend om mooie moutain bike routes dan om road riding. Denk dat het het beste is als je op strava kijkt voor leuke routes. Plezier

Rode last year and thought start in SBR was bad so am glad they changed that. Overall was no too impressed with route and reckon there are better races in GP around that time such as Krugersdorp Ford race. Decided not to ride this year

Wouldn't you be safe as long as you ride on rubber tyres, ie none condusive (and make sure not to put your feet on the ground?

Does anyone know whether our friends at Supersport carry the race live?

Just realised the three picture was only displayed as attachement and not as actual pic. Hopefully owed up and rectified before getting loads of abuse????

3 beers??? Must already be seeing double as I only see two different beers

Definitive move made. Looks Ash missed it

Looks like team NL is setting up stepping stones for Vos. Benefits of having a bigger team

Ash still in leading bunch

LOL, well have watched the whole race so that makes it nearly three hours of potting. Thankfully did get in good am ride so no guilty feelings.

Think it is the best plan. Dutch thunder thighs team seem to be faster on descent and flats. Plus have a couple of riders they can burn off for Vos

Ashleigh is climbing very comfortably. Reckon she should try to get away on lclimbs in last loop to avoid getting crushed by orange army

Hows that for garbled typing??? Meant I was referring to general riding

Was referringbtongeneralmriding. Pack is a lot less ompact vs pro men ie less drafting. Dutch team looks on song to set Marianne Vos up for victory

Womens elite racing looks a lot less organised vs the boys. That just a funtion of less sponsor money = less professional?

Jeez those climbs in the final loop are steep. Up th 15%?

Does anyone know who the other SA elite women riders are (other than Ashleigh)?

Dutchie living in SA. Torn between shouting for Ashleigh or Marianne Vos.

Crashed last week which damaged saddle (standard Giant issue). Replaced with shiny new Fizik Arione CX. Did first long ride over the weekend and get the feeling the saddle is a tad further back vs previous. Would like to move it forward a little but am not sure how to do so without altering the angle of the saddle (from what I can see there is only one clamp under the saddle controlling both). Can anyone provide me with the idiot guide?

Hmm interesting theory. Was wondering why Spanish opponents were helping out an Italian

Can only agree. Viinzento is a true champion. He was buggered when he started the climb and somehow found the strenght to put in 6 attacks ( or were there more?) Apperently he s planning on riding worldchamps as well

Best time since early 2000's ie end of dirty period. And producing w/kg LA was chasing when prepping for latter tours (as per Tyler Hamilton's book). Does anyone else smell a rat?

Only Johan Bruyneel can get a 42 year old riding like that! Looks good but smells bad. More than a little suspicious

Waar 's dit?

Ride a Giant TCR comp 2 and am very happy with it If I am not mistaken the Pina frame is more expensive and would think at least as good. Just not sure whether there are any compatibility issues between Pina frame and Giant components. Am sure some Hub fundis can advice
