Chips were built into boards. Nobody could ride without a board. No orange chips were used in the race.

Thanks man - we havne't officially met.

Tough terrain but I'd say very clsoe the best MTB stage race in the country in terms of route and course marking. It was hard on a hardtail

New route cuts out Van Schoors and heads for an extended stint on the N7. Interesting

Good job man. You were the only other guy helping up front. Still remember: "Are we going to breakaway today?" We should have...

That spinning windmill guy rides like that in every single race. He should just remove his big ring and shifter.

No Pure Savage MTB DC team... Not enough riders. The Savages that MTB, ride road at DC

Rawson - 6:33 Gemini - 6:27 6mins then Also know Mike Potton well too

Think Rawson were beaten by 5min in 2015 and that's because they all stopped at the top of Tradouw to fix one of the rider's bikes... Think about that for moment. That said the Gemeni guys are awesome men - I know Neil personally and we've ridden many times together.

One doesn't simply 'join' Pure Savage... Great bunch of guys - fast, committed and wicked humours. I think the key word is fast but then I'm not quite sure why I'm in the team...

Especially when there's a headwind like we experienced...

Of the two Savages that stayed in the bunch we got 23rd and 69th - 2h21. And yes, we beat the slower rider . We're just average okes trying to mix it up with the faster guys

Was another guy in red. Same team though.

He didn't come top 5 - he was in the top 100...

You'll no doubt pick up a few stragglers. Hopefully not me
