who's got results?

My guess is only 50 riders finish tomorrow, maybe 30. Cause in a one day race you rather stop and fresh for the next day. No cut off. What do you think?

hunter, van heerden, rabie. venter punctured on downhill to finish

and 35 min for me

American flyers, a mistake I wont make next year is to allow people without managers licences. if your support car leaves the rest behind to follow the leader, he needs to give some bottles to another car of a team that IS staying behind. So then your car can look after team B's rider in front. WE need more official neutral vehicles, that will carry your spares and refreshments. But you car can also stop next to the road and wait for you , give you water and drive to the front. Its his responsibility to look after you. But we CANT have more cars and motorbikes, sorry.

The reason I posted this was because the person said I'm pulling some Afrikaans trick where I wont admit I was wrong. WE made some mistakes and sorry about that. public apology. i'm meeting with ian tomorrow to discuss the race, and chat about next year.

i also received the following mail. Get someone to translate Colonel. I'm sorry about those hic ups, and also the fact that i wont say i was wrong, and i'm here to be the popular person. we will improve next year, sorry to everyone that went to the crit, and i agree the marshalls werent well trained. will do better next time. also interesting that the rider saved himself for the crit. hendrik - ek het wel by du toitskloof opgery en af ook na die stadsaal waar niemand was nie ek het ook 3 keer op die course verkeerd gery daardie dag omdat 1) jou marshals huis toe gegaan het, of 2) jou marshals agter die pale weggekruip het of 3) jou marshals geen idee het hoe om te wys watter kant toe nie en net sover kan kom om n vlaggie in die lug te waai verder is dit verregaande dat jou dronk pel doepie, sy drank asem in my gesig kom blaas na die wellington stage... dit nadat hy my vals beskuldig... swak styl nog n groter joke is dat julle nommer 102 op GC warn omdat ek n bottel kry by die agterste kar in die convoy, terwyl die pros verby my gejaag kom gehak agter trokke en wat ook als. en ja ek is n swak ryer, maar ek het wel die course voltooi elke dag en ja ek het n bietjie gespaar vir die crit, want dit is waar ek die minder swakste is en jy weet ek kan n bunch attack vir n hotspot en dit wen as daar so iets is - wat ek tot jou verbasing in heldervue gedoen het. en by die PE crit voor dennis van niekerk en ander ladies wat in die giro ry die week... my R500 het wel bygedra tot jou turnover en my license fooi dra ook by tot die salarisse wat CSA uitbetaal... so ek het die reg om ingelig te word op n humane wyse as jy nie jou crit gaan hou nie - iets soos n notice by die venue waar ek moet register? of nicer sou n notice gewees het bo-op du toits kloof. maar hoe dit ook al sy, ek sal eendag n age category SA champ wees, miskien oor 20 jaar as al my peers miskien dit die minste verwag... verder bespeur ek net die ou afrikaanse trick waar niemand ooit verkeerd is nie en dit nooit in die publiek wil erken nie... maar gou in die publiek die sterkste fighter kamstig wil wees - maak maar met die comments wat jy goed dink - ek het 10 minute geneem om dit te tik....

best wishes to all, one year ago i was in icu, a year later i'm ready for epic, so i believe neil will also be fit as a fiddle and ready to do everything you guys know him to do so well.

if you guys know of sponsors for events please let me know. we need real racing for all category riders. even if its for one day races, like a mass start double century!

dick and yourself can handle the smokers in the bunch

just being sprayed by rabie's champagne celebrations. ian is amazing, does the detail things, passionate about develoment of cycling. he is also a new member on the road commission for CSA.

so moolies wont get sub vet prize as he races elite in the cape leagues. cause you can chop and change every week

i just thought of something, where in the world was acsis, or are they focusing on giro? pity they missed racing a level below giro

the problem i have with the sub vet cat in sa is that the top over 30 riders are riding elite. the winner of the last stage was over 30, and tiaan is also sub vet. well done to moolies for sticking with them on du toits. (what does this say about our elites) but who gets the sub vet prize, the 1st over 30? UCI regulations limit the size of bunch to 200

lets hope they secure a sponsor for giro. the idea of TdBoland was to develop riders for giro, like a stepping stone. but I'm thinking of a ladies/vets tour around october. but then i want to ride as well.

Thanks for the support and compliments. And I've never been a lecturer. Ja, I'm thinking quite a bit about the future of the event. Its getting a bit too big for 2 people to handle, the range in the quality of the riders big, open for pro's or not? Or if I get a sponsor we could have 2 bunches... I think its good that juniors experience racing of a higher level. But does a normal league rider need this? Ideas please. And what if there's no Giro

but sometimes on the epic if you have an upset tummy you need shorts

tubeless with stans, then 1 tube max, why a pump and 2 bombs?

its time for martin to start pushing heavier gears if he attacks, loads of talent. cpi backup vehicle

on the wrong side of the road!! sorry the 2 riders in the break looks like luthando and carl pasio(maties) check all the pick n pay youngsters in front of the scholars bunch!

if i'm willie engelbrecht i'll take out BIG insurance

and i believe they canned sederberg and the running thingy, odessy..?? $$$

most of my buds in stellenbosch ride pythons

so did everyone receive their money? CIA checking
