  1. What i meant was. Why 10 pages about the girls and 1 about the boys. Is dit al die jags boyfriends?? I hope they send Ronel now if Minette is not going. Then the SA girls can dice each other and we can bet on the outcome.
  2. Someone talking about seeding. Hunter is no 4 in vets in SA! Rest my case.
  3. Chereise's manager wanted her to go to elite worlds this year. Hunter didnt want to ride, and Ronel is not the best rider in the world. I really dont know why people get so excited. I really think they picked a good team, people are going on as the whole team is wrong. Why isnt anyone moaning that , for example Hanco is not going in place of Nolan at u23. I think Hanco COULD go better on a hard hilly circuit than Nolan. But Hanco, his fans are acting like adults about it. Or anyone else that feel they were treated unfairly. But WHY if its about girl selection or racing you people are carrying on like this is the most important thing in the world. Have you people looked at the profile of the worlds course, seker nie... I wonder if Malcolm, Hanco,pietie, Kosie en Klasie nou ook gaan resign en retire.
  4. So all this moaning is about one girl that wasnt selected?? Why does girl stuff have 10 times more people moaning than guy stuff. Ronel did burn a few bridges last week after Zoo Lake, but thats no reason not to pick her if she's good enough. Rankings: I see on national seeding in 4th place vets 30-34 is Robert Hunter. Great idea!!
  5. Become selectors, but first gain some knowledge.
  6. There's another discussion on this
  7. Everyone may have his own opinion. I'm sure it goes just like this on the rugby , cricket and other sites. Blou Bulle wants to know why Derek Hougaard is not in team. I want to know why Luke Watson, Jacques Kallis is not in teams. But i dont think the circuit suites Ronel. And to take sprinters is stupid if they get dropped on a hard circuit. But every sport has its armchair critics. If you guys all paid licence fees, the team could've been bigger. My opinion would be 2 girls only. And regarding Perry, he is a back up for TT, and he is in Europe, so its very cheap to include him. Yes, money makes a difference, and if you have 2 riders of similar abilities, youll send the person that is there allready.
  8. Groot Lem got e mail along with other provinces. Latrinus is not a selector. Fullard is one of the new selectors and he wont put his own man Lange in as it is not Malcolm's type of race. And anyone that think Malcolm should be in knows nothing. Its like 270k's on a hard circuit. Hunter wasnt available. So dont shout if you dont know. I know that Latrinus tries to get the right systems in place for selectors but he has no influence on team. Re the girls I dont know whats going on. Remember when Ronel won SA's there was a ladies team overseas. I dont know Ronel as a rider, just know she is a very nice person. Not sure if she can handle the hard circuit as well as the climbers. Not sure why they selected Anriette or how her shape is.
  9. Herewith with Team which, was approved by the Vice President for the World Road Championships. Elite Men: James Perry Daryl Impey Darren Lill David George Ian McLeod U23 Men: Nolan Hoffmann Jay Thomson Jacques Janse Van Rensburg Jacobus Venter Elite Women: Marissa Van Der Merwe Minette Naude Yolandi Du Toit Anriette Schoeman Manager: Barry Austin
  10. Latrinus got a DEAN mtb frame. Is that TI?
  11. Both Lemmers this week as well. For 3 days every year we are the same age. Latrinus 20/8/64 Groot Lem 23/8/63 Riis Lemmer 26/8/96 (a month after bjarne won the tour).
  12. What happened with Dianne Emery, didnt she spend a lot of time at UCI academy as the next big thing? Saw her on Drifter programme doing some X terra or something. Why did she disappear? Think she rode with Anke for a while in Microsoft kit? Or Erica Green team manager, she helps Minette with coaching. See Minette runs a lot still, will keep her strong and less prone to getting gatvol. Nice to see CSA are getting the right people involved. Cherry on womens commission. How would you define each rider in your future team Breeze? Minette must be the climber and domestique?? Is there a sprinter?
  13. Jellytot, will you coach me please. You sound so nice. Where are you based? Can you make me fit for Selati in 2 weeks time? Do you also massage?
  14. Met sy dik pens sal hy my nie vang nie.
  15. A few friends are busy organising a new team but registers them with individual sponsorships. Now the must remove the wording that says "veterans racing team" from the allready made clothing. Because they are individuals riding together and not a registered team. Our top young u16 riders in Boland are getting supported by a Neo sponsor from next month. Now the riders, that are all PDI's must also be registered as individually sponsored riders at about R300 each. Do they want to carry on chasing away people, riders and sponsors, or do they want to grow the sport? it seems like things are changing on the surface, but the internal sh*t is the same we had to deal with for the last 50 years.
  16. lovely detour again
  17. David George winner
  18. David should go to worlds next month along with Hunter and the rest. He also got selected for Lankawi the last few years, as well as Commonwealth games, worlds last year.... What are you guys talking about? And he bitched so much after Giro about stuff, cant believe he's going. Good luck Chris en die span.
  19. With Dick's 3 litres of beer a nite he surely is one of the heaviest sub 3 ACT riders at 92k's or more. if you guys pace a truck, doesnt the truck wanna pass you at some stage?
  20. Dick, just drink over weekends and evenings. Then you will improve by 5sec to do your sub 3 Argus. Dick, try cut na net n 6 pack n dag die maand. Dan volg maand 5biere n dag, dan 4, maar nie quarts nie, gewone 340ml size. Witwyn is n k&k idee. Onthou ek wag nie in die epic nie.
  21. Colonel, jys nou n regte ****. if you ****with my new epic partner youre f**king with me. If you a pro and you're training its part of your work. THats why they get salary even in off season.
  22. Brandon, so why dont you think someone like david george doesnt get signed. I heard rumours that he will ride for MTN after SA's.
  23. What about a memorial ride? Ideas?
  24. Die beste was die koshuis langsaan (Helshoogte0 wat gecheer het toe EEndrag afbrand. Of Petoors se dogter wat moes please explain hoekom sy in die koshuis was en nou net onderklere het.
  25. Brandon, a lot of good pros in SA earn less than R10 000. The top MTN riders must get about R25k?? Why dont you think a local pro will earn more than ML in the next 5 years?
