It's a chapter from a book called Rapport Toer, 'n Droom van 'n geel trui. The chapter is called "Ertjies en die Ander"

 

Ertjies went on to win the first stage.

 

I will put those pics up tomorrow.

Couldn't get in there either.

 

Ertjies, ride your bike lekker up there. Whenever I'm on the Le Turbo, I think of all the legends who could/should have had their fair share of the international stage. But you leave a great legacy, and a spirit for younger riders to live up to. To your family, all my thoughts.
