CY1970

My philosophy: Wake up on the morning, If it is raining - will be (get) wet If it is windy - Hope for a tail wind or HTFU Suns Out - Guns out and loads of sun screen

The cycling gods have not been kind to me the last few years with this event: 2019 - was recovering from an unplanned abdominal surgery 2021 - messed up my Achilles on our JHB to DBN cycle for the Amashova so no Ride Joburg. Training partner did a 2.50 so really miffed that I missed out on riding. Hopefully this year there wont be any issues and I get to at least sit on the start line. Anything around the 3hr mark will be most welcome.

Rog pretty banged up after his crash:

LM not in the break🤔

Or guys that ride Superbikes in Shorts, T Shirt and Slops. Remember being told a story a few years back (not sure whether it was true or not) of a motorbike mechanic in Kyalami who was told to take a superbike for a test run. When the guy refused because he didn't have his leathers, authority prevailed and he had to go do a test run. Apparently while on the run, the front brakes seized up and the outcome was not pleasant.

Hoping that Maincheese gets into the break today and climbs up the GC similar to what Uran did yesterday?

Feel sorry for Rog. Puts a bit of a damper on the race now as was looking forward to seeing the battles over the next few days. Will be interesting to see if Mas goes for broke. Another option would be if UAE go all out for Ayuso/Almeida

This scumbag is a real piece of S..T. Not only does he scam people out of money, he is now adding identity theft to his operandi. @Stuart, as all have said, lay a charge for both Fraud and and you can now add ID theft to that The guy is just digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself.

You could also look at the Scott Strike eRide 920

32 drop outs so far Almost 18% of the startlist

Glad somebody made mention of the actual cause.

Yates also out with Covid. Wont be on the start today

It looks like Covid is starting to have an impact on the riders once again.

Was surprised to see Pauline on a HT. Wonder is that gave her more of a competitive advantage considering her massive winning time gap over Neff?

Fantastic Achievement.

Does anyone know if that has been any progress with the court case and the scumbag who is probably still as free as a bird.

Wonder if Sagan can add the e-bike WC to his 3 Road WC victories

Q20 make a product called Qbike which is a dry lubricant:

Pop to your local Mica and get some Q20 chain lube.

See he has withdrawn from the Vuelta and is now appealing the TDF DSQ.

Saw these reviewed on GCN the other day. They may only weigh 70g, but there is no hope in hell that I would be willing to fork out over R500 for one tube. Pirelli Cinturato SmarTUBE review | off-road.cc
