What do you guys think of todays stage? Maybe a one for the more xc type riders to take the stage? I'm hoping for nino/buys or hermida/van houts to take another one!

After watching stage 3 highlights I learnt that lighter components hold up in dry conditions whilst riding on mostly district road with not too much technical.

 

And that Platt rode a big part of that stage using one leg to power on..

 

Nino is very strong.

 

Rabobi def comes across as more likeable than Sauser. And has a massive engin.

 

Both the ladies and the african comp has heated up a lot.

Don't you think your imagination is running away a bit here ? Hehe

Perhaps, but without his back up team, Sauser would be much further behind

Today's stage looks brutal, some proper climbs throughout the day, will we have a fourth change in the yellow?

Just saw that every category has lost some teams that has withdrawn due to whatever reason, except for the women. All 21 teams that started are still racing! Impressive stuff! It looks as if it has been super tough.

I like topeak....lekker attitude and super strong. Wouldn't mind them holding on to it until louernsford..

 

Going to be interesting to see if Platt's knee went pop yesterday in today's "bultjies"

Fact....Also handy that Nico Bell knows his way around a bike being LBS owner and all

We can confirm that @Plattos did start Stage 3 but that he withdrew and is heading back to the start. Shattering news for @TeamBulls
