    Are you mad?? Gert and Matthys are killing them and did so very very well today. No chance unless a major mechanical.
  2. Sworks20
    Manners are important........The list is growing for this team.

    Sky was penalised with a pretty hefty fine if remember.
  4. Sworks20
    Nothing, they went 60min backwards.
  5. Sworks20
    If its in the rules then yes. Totally fitting. If not, then no.

    How do you know it wasnt?? Seems like you a fanboy of Kevin here.

    2 camera's including his own as you said showed they took a shortcut and gained advantage. Not much more to be said. Maybe Fedgroup has another TUE for the shortcut but hasnt been approved by shortcuts anonymous? “Review of Go-Pro camera footage from the rider immediately behind the rider in question, as well as footage from team 13’s own Go-Pro (attached to the bicycle of the accused rider) confirms that the incident occurred, and that an unfair advantage was gained.”

    Do you know the 2nd place team appealed or put the protest in? Why would you say that is unfair? They cheated and took a short cut to save time. If I was the 2nd team I would also protest just like Kevin and David used to appeal and protest anything and everything they could come up with against Burry and Sauser when they used to get their asses handed to them year after year at Epic.

    Lance Armstrong also raced at the top end of the sport and we all know how that went.

    Fedgroup strike again.....

    On a finish like that no one will have anything for J-Rod, his kick is just to strong in concession. Long way to go till July but Froome is in trouble, his attack was strong but AC and J-Rod followed pretty easy as AC only went much later once he saw danger and they dropped Froome who couldn't make up ground again. Froome was in incredible form - same as now - this time last year but his competition wasn't and now they have decided to get their ducks in a row and the outcomes are very different. Also Sky have clearly got a a little wake up call with JTL, Henao being isolated with dodgy blood values and sending Porte home just in case to get his stuff under control which in turns leaves Froomes top up supply similar to everyone else's. The Tour come July will be one of the best to date I believe with Nibali, Froome, AC. Quintana, J-Rod all showing incredible form right now.
  12. Sworks20
    Still has nothing for J-Rod and AC.
  13. Sworks20
    They just announced route will go ahead as originally planned. Froome and Porte abandoned cause they know they have nothing for AC or J-Rod.

    Kevin Benkenstein @KevBenky Guess I know what this meant now... @Brad_Stroberg @FedGroupScott pic.twitter.com/9JIMc2eHs4 It gets more interesting from Brandon Stewart who is clearly threatening Kevin when Kevin was vocal about him doping. It is just a shame that people now who are not in the "know" so to speak - general public - are only seeing the true Brandon Stewart now.

    If anyone remembers or got the mail that did its rounds last year of the "motley crew" of SA Pro's they are basically now on this team. Lets hope Neil leaves and finds greener pastures.
  16. Sworks20
    You and many others are saying the same thing and its not good things. Waiting for a bomb to drop here.
  17. Sworks20
    I rode this event and saw guys go the wrong way at the marker and shouted to them but they kept going and the rest of us went the right way.The route was so hard for me personally but the markings were not the problem in any way. Cant understand how you all went wrong when everyone else in the 75km from the Elite Ladies to Men A-C went the right way. To me its not the markings that were wrong here, its you.
  18. Sworks20
    If you use your phone to track your ride its often wrong.
  19. Sworks20
    I have not received my seeding mail today, are they still going out or is there someone I can contact for it?
  20. Sworks20
    Im giving it a go, havent raced a MTB in years but hitting the Marathon
  21. Sworks20
    Capricorn, how can you say it wasnt safer and if the contact happened it would be worse? Cyclists die from being hit from behind, not to sure what is worse than that, please help me understand. Also, at the time of me being unbelievably lost, that option was the safest. Was it wrong? Yes in your eyes, in my eyes? No. Why? Cause I made it back into town safely, showered, had a meal and rode this morning instead of maybe eating through a pipe or worse shoudl I have known I had to please you and your ability to see into the future. To me that was the safest option and had the most positive outcome as I could see oncoming traffic where before I couldnt and I had no real choice cause I took the wrong turn off. But still. Just want to confirm then that none of you when getting lost have driven up a 1 way etc and so on? Wow, this place is full of perfect people. It makes Jesus Christ the sinner and you all died for his sins. Well done for all leading perfect lives. Please carry on.
  22. Sworks20
    That was me in fact Tomik and I have never been on that route before and missed the correct turn off / offramp. I also thought it may be safer at the time once it happened instead of being hit from behind by a vehicle. I am sorry Tomik if your whole evening was ruined by a honest mistake I happened to make and you feel better now insulting and abusing me on a forum. I hope your day is now better at my expense. To the other Hubbers that saw there may be a different outcome to Tomik's abuse. I thank you.
  23. Sworks20
    Im not sure they will win it but I am sure of a stage win and maybe a overall podium. I also dont think they have a option from Scott to ride anything else but this size wheel bike. I may be wrong.
  24. Sworks20
    I thought the route was really great, separated the men from the wannabes very quickly, especially in Cat 2. By lap 4 there were about 12 guys away - of which I was definitely not 1 of them and decided to watch the action instead. with about 25min to go it was 2 Felt, 2 'Oconnor, 1 Cyclelab, 1 Aurecon left which tuned out to be a good race from a spectators point. Well done on a great circuit, the wind wasnt in the organisers favour but thats Cape Town for you. Lucky Luke - I thought you were going to win this and that the course suited you.
  25. Sworks20
    Max - I havent read this whole thread so if this has been asked I am sorry but I need to ask you a question that I think is on alot of peoples minds; Why the sudden departure from your old team after Hanco just came onboard as your team mate to go concentrate on XC as apposed to Marathon racing in order to get to compete at the Olympics? It seems rather odd when against the top XC riders like James, Phil, Brendon etc you more than half a lap off at the end? Surely you must of known this when deciding and all of them also do Marathons - James is the SA Marathon Champion and why didnt your team support this move? In my eyes you the best Marathon racer and most consistent in SA and have been for a while. This isnt an attack of any nature just a question many people ask. Thanks SW20
