Johan Bornman Posted January 3, 2008 Share Last week I had the opportunity to drive over Franschoek pass, following a good cyclist on the decend down into Pose Town itself. He managed to do 80kph at times, according to the speedo in my mighty rental Hyundai Atos Prime GLX. Nice cornering, whoever that was.However, this decend is in a different class. If you have the bandwidth, do yourself a favour and check it out. Pantani, it is not for you, the guy crosses the white line a few times.
