Ceres Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 another meter and he would have been had! Roadies know how to time a sprint.
Dubber Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Roadies know how to time a sprint. lol - yeah, he timed that one to perfection! I think he may have under estimated of how fast/far his knobblies on muddy grass would roll. They're not quiet like slicks on tar

LuckyLuke Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Rabon turned out to be quite exiting to watch, you never know what to expect, this morning I didn't think he was going to make to keep up and he surprised quite a few! Storm 78 1
DJR Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Got an invite on Friday night, and almost took it. Just wasn't the right sort of guy I'd like to spend 8 days with. Hopefully next year again. There could have been a good story in it. Just saying.
Velouria Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 There could have been a good story in it. Just saying. I know, and I've been half regretting the decision, but with 36One and Panorama coming up next month, it was the right decision. Just like 2012, where I wished I was there, and wished I wasn't there (mostly because of the weather). And it's rather cool watching the race unfold on twitter and the Hub. When you're riding it you don't really care about the leaders or anything else - it's just about getting you and your partner to the end of each stage each day.
'Dale Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 What are the weather gods saying about tomorrow?I'm guessing sunshine, smooth trails and some muddy segments from the last few days' rain.
BSG Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 that doesn't look very niceThinking about the financial strain on the privateers after a day in such muddy conditions because I'm pretty sure one have to replace the whole drivetrain? Must be looking at at least R5k for spares per day:blink:

Pure Savage Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Genze arm from todays stage. Can see why pulled out. Spoke101 1
CleatsnCleavage Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I know Sauser and Kleinhans train together and are mates, but how come the latter is ruining his own potential by spending so much time helping the Spez guys win their stages?
babse Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I know Sauser and Kleinhans train together and are mates, but how come the latter is ruining his own potential by spending so much time helping the Spez guys win their stages? i think thats job in the backup/domestique team, thats what his getting paid for (at this event atleast)
Mackie Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 i think thats job in the backup/domestique team, thats what his getting paid for (at this event atleast)Yup, Erik is to Sauser what Ritchie Porte is to Froome Sidekick Racer 1
Mellow Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Yup, Erik is to Sauser what Ritchie Porte is to Froome Don't you think your imagination is running away a bit here ? Hehe
