grant10 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I'm racing in the Stars this season and while I enjoyed last weekend's race, today was an accident waiting to happen. Our bunch seems to be hugely inexperienced in bunch riding/racing and I got really angry and tired of shouting at guys who were going way over the white line, especially over Boyes Drive and through the Kommetjie to Smits section. Guys were trying to move up and around over the line on so many blind corners and rises. Why I don't know because no one was prepared to ride off the front today anyway, so it was completely unnecessary to take those risks and put everyone else in danger. There was so much traffic about and we also didn't have a bike marshal for some reason. That's my rant over. I really really hope the guys involved in the crash are OK. I managed to be ahead of it when it went down, but it sounded really bad. @Tiny I kinda enjoyed Military Hill. Offroad tyres would have been good though.
andretraut Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 DOES ANY ONE KNOW THE BLACK GUY WAS WEARING NEUTRAL SKIN SUIT TODAY? HE DID SOLE BREAK AWAY AT THE BOTTOM OF MARITIME HILL THEY SAY AND STAYED AWAY FOR REMAINING OF THE RACE, I TRIED TO SIT HIS WHEEL BUT THE GUY WAS FLIYINGThis guy was a 'B' rider, came pass the chasing group of Vets going over Blackhill during the second round, and he was riding as if he had a 'Cancellera rigged bike' well ahead of his group. Very strong rider. He even brought his climbing wheels... a set of Zipp 808's . Would love toknow what he uses for TT!
'Dale Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 What machine was he using? Or was it too fast to be ID'd?

Small build and rides like a machine! Also rode with 808's for the Tour de PPA - if I look at last weeks results - Isaac Mudau seems the right name to match the profile. Edit: yeah Dale, I ddin't get his steeds name - might have been a Caad but not too sure. Edit 2: gotta love google.
