Stretch Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Just heard now.we are just down the road from where it happened and these roads are crazy busy at the moment. Such a tragic loss. Condolences to his family. Rip
Hairy Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Just saw this on the news now, extremely shocked and saddened! May he find happiness and peace should there be a life after death and my heart felt sympathy to his family and loved ones. R.I.P Mr Stander
Paulst12 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) What a sad day for his family and the cycling community. Cant imagine the Epic without the crouched over posture of Burry in the front!! My condolences to his family and everyone who knew him.... Edited January 3, 2013 by Paulst12 DIPSLICK 1

TALUS Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 We owe it to this Idol of ours to make his senseless death make a difference in the lives of other cyclists (especially those that only have cycling as a mode of transport). Please let us fight this scourge! RIP CHAMP!
Potato Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 A terribly sad day for South Africa and for cycling! Some amazing posts going around on Facebook and Twitter just go to show what an impact he's had and how much he has done for the sport and others! A true champion who has changed cycling in our country. My thoughts and prayers go out to Cherise, Charls and the rest of the family.
Beer4Recovery Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Shocked! SA just lost a cycling prodigy! So sad for his family!
durbanjacques Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Wow, this is shocking news. So talented and so young, our prayers go out to the Standard family. RIP Burry.
Iwan Kemp Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Something big needs to come from this, and it need to happen nation wide Agreed. Let's be that something big. ChUkKy, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, LazyTrailRider and 1 other 4
Beet_F Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Shocked to my core! Got the coldest chill down my spine. Unbelievable and very sad...
Heckflosse Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 This is senseless, and incredibly sad. We are not supposed to lose national hero ( or anybody) this way. I'm heartbroken and very saddened.RIP Burry, and condolences to Cherise and his family.
Slowone Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 See other thread https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/125233-rip-burry-stander/page__st__128 Sad day for Cycling world wide......
Azonic Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 As utterly gutted as I am, the sad truth is that nothing will come of this. Yes, we will organise a massive rememberance ride, maybe even more Critical Mass rides will be put together, but while we are clad in lycra and Sipho who never went to school is behind a 2 ton metal ramming-rod on wheels, we will always pull on the short end. Taking the fight to government won't do anything, they will just pull their shoulders up and give you a "hau" and that will be it. I can't suggest a solution because I don't know of any. I really feel for Cherise. SACF have given her so many raw deals lately with not including her in teams, and now to lose her husband as well. I wouldn't blame her if she turns her back on cycling completely after this. JA-Q001, Thug, Trackie and 4 others 7
Iwan Kemp Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Sad news to lose a national hero and a great guy at such a young age. Or any age for that matter. My heart goes out to his wife, family and all those close to him.
StilletoX Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Tragies. Mag hy awesome single tracks in die hemel ry... tunariaan 1
