  1. Much like provincials. You can pitch from whereever (for the GP champs at least), but obviously you won't be eligible for a podium spot or colours. Very confusing and unnecessary.
  2. He obviously made light work on that course. Must be those sick new team colours of his.
  3. Plenty of athletes are born in one place but represent a different country altogether. MVDP being a prime example. He was born, and actually lives, in Belgium. But as we all know, he represents the orange behemoth that is the Dutch cycling team.
  4. RANT START I think ITT champion is a pretty empty title, especially over here? How many ITT events are there on our calendar, or events that incorporate at least one ITT stage? I think for the elites there are many more opportunities for them to fly the colours. But for an amateur? Almost pointless. RANT FINISH Potential for a Friday thread loading..
  5. Isn't Emma Pallant an ultra tri athlete? She was even part of the Zwift Academy a few years ago, I think she might even have a half IM or full IM victory to her name. My money would've been on her. But congrats to Hayley.
  6. Damn son. That is how it's done mate.
  7. I don't think this is going to go anywhere, but it seems amateur sleuths are having the time of their lives. I hope the poor woman comes forward with the truth. She's going to wreck everything she's built up to now if she is indeed caught cheating.
  8. Clearly there was lots at steak (stake) for her to stay in the front bunch.
  9. This race happened this weekend past bruv.
  10. Not mine, spotted it on my Daliy Maverick newsletter. Maybe he's on the Hub?
  11. Me I love station wagons. It's a real pity they aren't around so much anymore (in SA). The Europeans smaak their station wagons.
  12. I did find this document. Apparently gravel is classified as XCG. Cup events for 2024 TBA. 2024 Gauteng Cycling Colours Selection Criteria.pdf
  13. Well, gravel does have a nationals at least... A friend's BIL was awarded WP colours for gravel, but there seems to be nothing like that up in GP.
  14. Yes, it sounds correct. Your PM is fine. Smoothing the recording is better. If it read zero or very high, then I'd be worried. Don't fret too much. Focus on learning about your body, how the effort feels. If you go analyse your data afterwards, you get to know what Z2, 3, 4, 7 "feels" like aka RPE. I love the numbers, but lately I haven't really cared. The power number is a consequence of your effort. IMHO, if you want to train to power, doing it outside will just wreck your brain. The smart trainer, even though lots of people dislike it, has been proven over and over to be a better use of your time.
  15. 12 year ban for the Saffa? Dude, you won't be able to take part in a parkrun with a rap sheet like that. How badly did he f-up?
  16. Seems I've double posted, I didn't realise the article mentioned a cyclist until now.
  17. Elton Jantjies NOT the only SA sportsperson banned: FULL LIST (msn.com) Cyclist on that list I've never heard of.
  18. The wife (therefore me too) Bump on Showmax. The show is a bit too woke for my liking, and it quite literally my one of my worst nightmares (teenage pregnancy).
  19. I simply cannot understand the demand of bicycles (read theft). These are very simple machines that are inherently cheap.
  20. I can't see why not. I think people must be cognizant of the fact that it will reduce some of the buzz, not all of it.
