andydude Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 What about Rudolph Lewis winning the gold medal in the 1912 olympics. perhaps a unsung hero. Now that is an interesting and crazy story!!
'Dale Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 How many team members did Louis have to support him in that race? 2
gtr1 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 How about Henry Kaltenbrun silver at 1920 Olympics for individual TT. Also bronze for team pursuit team. Willam Smith and James Walker silver in tandem. Going back a bit, but great achievements. Especially at 1 Olympics. Tumbleweed 1
gtr1 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Louren's Meintjies. South Africa's 1st world champion in any sport. Won 50 mile race in world record time in 1893 Tumbleweed 1
gtr1 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Bobby Fowler, George Estman, Tommy Shardlow and Alfred Swift. Silver medal at 1952 Olympics for team pursuit. Tumbleweed 1
VicanZA Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 the best way to sort this out, is to ask someone who doesn't follow cycling! as most of u on the hub have an interest in the sport u will know about the DH events etc. I dont know who most of these people are but i do know Darryl Impey and robbie hunter thanks to the exploits at the TDF.

Burry SSWC 2012 WHOOP WHOOP hahahaha Greg @ Recent DownhillImpey in Yellow And my Froomey for winning TDF (Gave my dad an excuse to say, see if you just continued riding with him you could be there as well...)

Tumbleweed Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 How about Johnny G, the Saffa who invented spinning? Daideron 1
Daideron Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 @Tumbleweed, that alone proves you dont need EPO or huge amounts of talent and backing to make a bazillion dollars out of cycling! Just a good idea and the right marketing team! Sure, Johnny G never won the Tour de France, but I bet he has a villa or two in France thanks to cycling1 Tumbleweed 1
Tumbleweed Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 I see Van Dyk added a Chicago Marathon victory to his palmares yesterday ScottCM 1
