Some of you seems not to get it. In any big sporting event disaster management and emergency services is vital. Since the start of the fire all disaster management and emergency services staff in cape town was busy with the fires. When the decision was made regarding the argus every cyclist and every person in cape town safety was considered.

I see all the brilliant ideas. Just remember due to the fire emergency services and disaster management is busy and the resources are needed for the areas effected by the fire. Its selfishness to expect a full cape cycle tour. Rather be gratefull you did not have to evac your homes and go to sleep in smoke. This week was terrible and sad. The worst was to try to get to firestation to drop of stuff they needed with cyclist still on main road practicing.With Main road the only road open at times. Those that criticise the new route, clearly only think of themselves. Take a moment and think of our volunteers and emergency services including disaster management in cape town that worked without stop since sunday. Just also remember those people are needed for a big event like the full version of the argus and for the fire. I just want to thank disater management of cape town, the volunteers and all emergency services for working since sunday without proper rest and thanks you to your families at home.
