DIPSLICK Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Sorry about that dipslick and Richard29 my mistake. Just hearing of another accident in Suikerbos got me confused. My the cyclist concerned have a speedy recovery.NO NEED FOR APOLOGIES NO HARM :thumbup:
Furbz Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Glad I have aluminium braking strip then. Luckily I don't brake much there. On the brakes a bit for the corners and then release. Although I suspect this crash was more due to a sudden gust of wind. Last time I was there the wind on that section was terrible. If it his mid corner or on the exit then you can easily crash. agreed, i have nearly come off due to a sudden gust of wind a SBR. learned to just give myself more than enough space very quickly

Andyr249 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 agreed, i have nearly come off due to a sudden gust of wind a SBR. learned to just give myself more than enough space very quickly Same for me! A few weeks ago the wind was really bad. Especially that downhill and then that "flatter" bit after that climb under the power lines by the dam and the concrete section. I was riding leaning over just to stay on the bike. Then a gust hit and I was all over the road that section. The reserve is always windy to some degree though. But never a tail wind!
Bianchisti Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I believe the SA Junior Road Race Champion was affected by the crash and has been replaced in the team for the Road Race World Champs in Toscana later this month. I think he based his season on the WC and must be gutted!
MTBc Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) .... while one is still in UCI as he underwent surgery again ... he'll never recover in there.
