it was actually Ian Goethan that did all the work. I just delegate. And halfway in the stage Ian phones me, now he is the guy that knows everything. His wife just went into labour, he rushed to hospital! But it was another FANTASTIC day! To those sponsors that didnt want to help cause they saw this as a mickey mouse race- stuff you! The first break stayed away for 125k's, were caught halfway up the last 15km climb. And a mountain top finish is awesome! Thanks to all the cops for letting guys gutter on the RH side, and closing the pass! The last guys in the break, Eric Kleynhans, Dean Haupt, Gilbert Quavilliers, David Garrett were caught by mountain biker Johhny Kritzinger. Johhny had a 20 sec gap along with Luthando Kaka when Mike Sowerby attacked the 20 man group. Mike caught the 2 in front, and won the stage in very impressive style. GC after stage 2. Sowerby Kritzinger @ 4sec Kaka @27sec Wesseman (winner of stage 1) @ 58sec Carl Pasio (Maties, suprise, and he can TT) @ 1m08sec Moolman Welgemoed same time. Stage 3 is a 26km TT. Predicted podium: Sowerby, Passio, Wesseman. TT start 10am at farm stall, kids racing from 8h30. In 6 weeks time I'm at the Epic, no way I'm organising something now. It interferes with training 20hrs a week and.... I have 4 bonds to pay!! So anyone wanna buy property in Stellenbosch phone! Will talk to ian to do something October. I think this is the most enjoyable event in RSA. Almost moered a few officials that shout at tired riders at the end, dont need them at my event. Otherwise they doing a great job. Dont ask me for results, I'm also waiting. If you not on the podium it doesnt matter anyway.
