Namibians? Atleast they qualified a place in the games Listen Chunky, I know you're not saying that he's a bad rider or whatever but that's not the point. The point is that ppl are questioning his place in the team to an event which will suit him almost perfectly. You and others are questioning this because of his 'apparent' bad state of racing condition. And that he may not have recovered from his crash etc etc.. All I'm saying is that I am over here with him now and I can see for myself that he is definitely not struggling to race at this level. I only say this as it's something nobody back home can truly say for themselves by only looking at the results on the internet. Take last Wednesday's race for example at Fleche. After 150km of hard racing and a split up the road with no Barlo riders in front, who was on the front pulling it back? Yes his result for the day showed he finished outside the time limits but not many ppl can fully appreciate what it takes to still be in a pro tour classic after 4 hours of racing and still be pulling on the front. That's why when I see ppl like yourself publicly questioning his ability then I felt it was necessary to give a bit more inside info on how he's actually doing over here.... And if JL falls into that so called category of "Barloworld cannon fodder" you refer to then call it what you want but he's frikking strong either way... Shot for the welcome LEM
