  3. We forget them so soon and the next generation will not know what we have lost. The latest L'Equipe magazine, focussing on the Tour, had a photo essay on significant crashes over the years. This is what my limited translation of the caption says : "At 21 years old, the young South African climber John-lee Augestyn summitted the 2802m cime de la bonette in the lead before crashing and plummeting 30m down the ravine on the descent. With the aide of a spectator he climbed back up to the road and finished 34th in the stage, well ahead of his team mate Chris Froome who finished anonymously in the pack, more than 30 minutes behind." It then goes on to talk about his broken hip from an earlier crash and his premature retirement from cycling in 2014 at the age of 27. I was following the tour in 2008 and recall the pride and expectation of having a young Saffer at the top of the sport. Just like Louis Meintjies, it seemed we had a contender.
  4. Steve Cummings won stage 7 of the Tour de France in typical Steve Cummings fashion, attacking from the original break of the day, to win solo in Lac de Payolle. Daryl Impey (Orica-BikeExchange) made it an even better day for African cycling as the South African finished in 2nd place. Daniel Navarro (Cofidis) was 3rd. Click here to view the article

Once again the team will take to the start of the La Grand Boucle with clear objectives. Steve Cummings’ stage win on Mandela Day, Daniel Teklehaimanot’s days in the Polka Dot jersey and a fifth place in the overall team classification were the key results last year and are the signposts for our African Team’s goals for the 2016 edition of the race.

  9. The official thread for the annual Tour de France Fantasy competition. Some big changes in terms of the competition rules, scoring, prizes, how to enter and much more... As usual, the first few posts will be reserved for the intro, rules, teams, riders, entrants and more. The scoring for 2015 has been revised from previous years, in the hope that a more even spread of points can be achieved by all 9 riders and teams. However, for the newbies, the previous editions can be viewed as follows: 2014 - https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/140025-thehubsa-tdf-fantasy-comp-2014/?hl=fantasy2013 - http://www.thehubsa....on#entry19589342012 - http://www.thehubsa....on#entry16880922011 - http://www.thehubsa....on#entry1419561last updated: 03-Jun
