Of course it was. Abdou on the Champs Elysee in '91 was worse (hell, Abdou in any sprint was way worse that what Groenewagen dreams of doing). Anyone remember Tom Steels? Throwing a bottle at (McEwen) at 70+km/h. I'll say it again, if you believe Groenewagen is a bad guy here, then sprints need to be banned.

To put things in perspective, you need to realise this "infringement" as you put it is a lot more commonplace. There are deviations, guys switching and elbows flying in nearly every ProTour mass sprint, and even out on the road at intermediate sprint points The ONLY thing different here is how bad the one guy fell. If you really believe that Groenewagen needs to be ostracised, then you must surely be of the opinion that sprints in road cycling must be banned. Talking about the punishment fitting the "crime" is not realistic, as the outlier in this event was the consequence, not the "crime" itself, as that "crime" is committed almost daily in the peleton.

Define big, and why, oh why do you have a bar-bag? Don't you shave you legs anymore either? Got a hipster moustache and a doofus man-bun?

Weird. I remember when I realized that they didn't exclusively make Ti frames.

When they go head to head in a sprint and Jakobsen is made to look like the second class sprinter he really is.

Put 700c wheels with 38mm tyres on it and use it.

What? A diuretic increases urine production. Why would you need to increase urine production for an inner ear problem?

To be fair, a lot of the prima donna SA "pro's" do think they are above approach...

7 Africans across their WT and PT teams, and of that only 3 are SA's, and only 2 in the World Tour Team (although I really think Pritzen should move up there this season already).

Would be nice to see them both shut the hell up and let the road resolve things. Too much hot air from the youngsters of today.

Oscar Sevilla says hi.

I don't even know who sponsors De Villiers.

It's an NFT. That's a digital form. My understanding is that an NFT cannot be a physical object as it's value would instantly be eroded. In that it could then be copied, modified, altered, etc.

Yeah. Like know how to read the route map.

Have you seen the price of Mr Min lately?

The one batting cage, I mean driving range, has a great kids play area. I take the kid, she plays, I whack a few balls.

Yikes. They say MTB rentals from R420/day. Three months is going to set the OP back nearly R40k. He should rather burn the credit card for a R10k-ish entry level bike and be done with it.

It looks like some people think it's a measuring contest. BTW, I got a bunch of golf bats plus a baggie for them for like R199 at Cash Converters.

Exactly. The Record Ultra chain on my one bike is on R1.5k, I could go to a KMC or Connex that's R500...

Why didn't you simply leave the cables on the counter and buy elsewhere?

Is there an echo in here?

Add to that the muppets that ride through all sorts of *** on the side of the road in the gutter (road riders here). Must go through tyres at an alarming rate.

I do around three times that a month, although it is spread across two road bikes (and sometimes tandem) and an indoor trainer. (it'll be spread even more now that I added the big 9 to the stable).
