ichnusa Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Athertons on GT?Anne Caroline Chausson making a comeback? What else can you derive from these pics?
nigelhicks Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 temptations = Bryceland being offered a sweet deal somewhere else other than Santa Cruz Chess = Troy Brosnan being offered a spot on Trek World Racing A day at the races = Brook McDonald chasing the cash offered by MArtin Whiteleys 23 degrees sports management (whilst MS Evil - his current team trail behind) Giant Things Afoot = Fairclough linked with a move to Giant Shopping = Sam Hill staying where he is with Specialized Winter Training = Gwin getting sponsored by Red Bull even though it goes against his beliefs Hanging up the boots = Moseley or Jonnier calling it a day!
wesley_r Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Winter Training = Gwin getting sponsored by Red Bull even though it goes against his beliefs tell me more?
nigelhicks Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 tell me more?hes a hectic veggie as far as i have heard ... (i think thats right) ... but his diet is gluten free and a whole lot of other stuff. So its surprising that he would go for a sponsor like Red Bull as theres probably a TON of stuff in there that he cant have!
wesley_r Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 theres probably a TON of stuff in there that he cant have! like horse urine?
ichnusa Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) In "Giant things afoot": why is the "Giant" taking the rider from a wet DH course to a slopestyle course? Aaron is Christian... Edited October 3, 2011 by ichnusa
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 In "Giant things afoot": why is the "Giant" taking the rider from a wet DH course to a slopestyle course? Aaron is Christian... Has nothing to do with his belief in a veggie lifestyle/diet...
ichnusa Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Has nothing to do with his belief in a veggie lifestyle/diet... I agree, it has nothing to do with his choice of food, but he is praying and is Christian...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I agree, it has nothing to do with his choice of food, but he is praying and is Christian... Which, once again, has nothing to do with his religion. The pose denotes pleading, begging even. Even if he were praying, who is to say which deity he is praying to? What I get is "please please please on bended knee I ask you. I shall even go so far as to beg, and go against my beliefs of maintaining a strict gluten free vegetarian diet in order to get your sponsorship" Nothing to do with religion.

ichnusa Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Ok, if you say so... I believe differently
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Ok, if you say so... I believe differentlyWhich just goes to show how open to interpretation cartoons actually are... I think if he were praying, and the religion aspect were meant to be included in the cartoon, that there would have been a Michaelangelo type interaction with him reaching out in to God in order to beseech him...
rock Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 i think its meant to be gee atherton wanting to be on trek.....or to be as fast as gwin.....
rock Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 temptations looks like something to do with the syndicate......peat with the zimmer frame......
Tumbleweed Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Any news on where the Athertons are going?
Guest Omega Man Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Any news on where the Athertons are going?They've left Commencal and are rumored to be on GT next year. On the local front Johan Potgieter (pottie) and Stephan Garlicke has been picked up by Canfield Brothers for next year. The plan is to once again do all the European events. This time with propper race support. The team is apparently based in Austria. From what Pottie told me they will be getting full race support and all the bikes and kit that comes with that but no salaries. So any personal sponsors out there looking to invest in SA racing?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Lekker news for Pottie & Steve there!
