There were other photographers too, what about their pics, where do we find them? These days Ronelle only load a select few.

 

Ronelle (and Chris) are not obliged to share the photos they take at Killarney. They are doing us a huge favour by posting what they do and do it because they love it. Please show your gratitude by saying thank you when you see them.

Andydude, hope you recover soon from the crash....

 

Apart from some bruises and missing skin he is fine. The carbon top tube of his Giant TCR Advanced cracked again where it was repaired previously.

 

Apparently somebody came across his line on the back straight of the last lap and took out his front wheel - but I suppose that is racing.

 

He is in JHB till Friday but is confident he will be riding again this weekend. Best of luck to him - his car was also stolen at the "Journey for Sight" two weeks ago.

I always thank Ronelle but never had the opportunity to thank Chris yet, if you are reading this Chris thanks bro & once again thanks Ronelle. There was another lady taking pics, thanks to you too, it's really appreciated it. Edited by milky4130

Yes I was there waiting with them till the police arrived :)

 

haha I remember when I 'debut'ed my new frame at Killarney and then debut'ed it with the carbon repairs man the next day

 

Current one is cracked, so dont want to ride to aggressive as there is still league races

Hi - Ronelle here -- I've actually forgotten my password - so apologies if this is confusing.

 

just a note or two: i don't load pics to the Hub, for a practical reason only, and that is that one has to upload one file at a time AND you have a file size limit. So ... its just easier to Facebook. No other reason.

 

- as to the comment of a 'select few' -- yes you are 100% right -- and this is how i select the select few that i do upload: if i'm going to upload 20 pics -- i choose the 20 that i think tell a story of how the racing developed on the evening/in the race -- or if something interesting happened (attack, break, whatever). No other criteria really -- mmm, maybe if you wear white or blue, my eye will catch you more -- cos i luv white and blue. I don't try to be artistic, I just want to capture the gist of the racing.

and last thingie: i deleted the torquepics website, because of changes in my work really now takes all the time that i previously used to play with pictures .. but Chris Hitchcock (www.photobay.co.za) has accommodated me on his site, so i will soon (this might be one week or two months, who knows ...) upload past racing pics (league and killarney) there!
