  1. I saw a graphic after the race - Max Checo 1 2 this year and last year. The gap between Max and Checo between 2023 and 2024 DOUBLED in the favour of Max. Mad Max.
  2. Good morning, all Hubbers! To my tubeless bretheren - how on earth do I get this sealant mess out of my good-as-new bib? I've put it through the wash but naturally it made zero difference.
  3. Bene watching, not too bad.
  4. I'd be too. Z7 all the way.
  5. There was this stunning blue Cannondale SuperSix on the classifieds a few years ago. An absolute stunner. I've been looking for it everywhere but I cannot even find a trace of it. I think the seller is/was based in the WC. What sticks out was the blue and gold paintwork. I'm desperately looking for that ad. Perhaps the OP of the ad can contact me!
  6. Elevate your Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg experience like never before with the launch of the Ride Joburg Portal next month. Gain access to all your past event results, unlock unique Badges based on your Ride Joburg achievements, check your entries for upcoming events, manage your 2024 batch and expected finish time, and much more! Stay tuned for this mobile-first web app, coming your way for testing at the end of March. Feedback from our valued 2023 Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg participants suggested that we could do better with our seeding, so we are making seeding one of our key improvement areas in 2024. We have taken significant steps to ensure a more accurate seeding for participants in 2024, such as an increased weighting of your 2022 and 2023 Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg results in seeding calculations, sourcing of more road cycling results to count towards seeding, and batch communication through the Ride Joburg Portal will be earlier and more comprehensive. We're committed to ensuring a fair and seamless seeding process, along with bigger batches and earlier start times - we hope you’ll be joining us in 2024! You spoke, and we listened! We're thrilled to announce exciting updates for cycling clubs and groups this year. Clubs and teams will now have exclusive access to book demarcated gazebo spots, offering prime views overlooking the finish line, accompanied by a variety of delicious food and refreshing drinks available for purchase. Additionally, we invite you to join our Cycling Club Captain's initiative launching in April, fostering camaraderie and support within the cycling community. Furthermore, we are elevating our Train Joburg initiative in collaboration with Virgin Active to provide safe training in their gyms, and outride options for all participants. We look forward to working more closely with cycling clubs and teams in 2024, to enhance the experience for all!
  7. When are the GPX routes going to be released?
  8. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cycling/68402040#:~:text=The UCI has suspended members,the road race in Belgium.
  9. His O Gran Camino victory lends itself to a TDF strong showing.
  10. https://teamhotshot.com/blogs/testimonials?page=1 Well, he doesn't feature on this testimonials page. In a YT vid, he mentions a mixture of cucumber and salt&vinegar. https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/tadej-pogacar-recalls-how-a-mixed-drink-of-cucumber-juice-salt-and-vinegar-helped-him-stave-off-cramp-to-win-il-lombardia
  11. I LIKE TO PAY FOR FIETS WIF KONT-ANT!
  12. Time and time again, this is the truth. You can only absorb so much magnesium and swallow so many Rennies, it's not going to help you. Once you've passed that point of no return, you might as well stop and catch a lift home. Nice! 🏃‍♂️
  13. yeah, it shows he completely misunderstands what it means to be a pro in a top flight team. We wish him all the best in his future endevours though, perhaps he'll look back at the footage and realise his mistake.
  14. Replace can with will.
  15. Am I the only one struggling to understand Maddie's accent? She doesn't even sound like a Saffa to me, which is a tad disappointing. Even Byron Munton, who represented SA in the last ZA had the typical Saffa accent.
  16. I don't know hey. This year's contestants look pretty normal to me. The one guy works in a supermarket, the one girl is on the trading floor, and the Slovenian is doing her PhD! Her amateur palmares are impressive though.
  17. Especially the ginger. They were even baffled as to why no one picked him up before.
  18. Complete aside - is that garmin light any good?
  19. So, what gives? Is this some Danish thing? Is he her bitch? I've always wondered who he speaks to at the end of every stage of a GT or race. Don't these people watch on the TV? I'm getting some cheater (not doping) vibes here..

  21. Giant and Merida are made in the same factory in Taiwan.
  22. If I had the bucks, I'd get a custome build like that. Nothing quite sets your bike apart like a good paint job/wrap.
  23. LOL, the suspense is killing me!
