Gen Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) But meerendal make a lot more money exporting wine overseas, and marketing the estate and area as a destination for tourists from overseas, so makes sense to advertise to them? Ag I know all of that.. like I said I get it.. sometimes it just seems like our local guys can't catch a break. ag I know it's just business for them, just a bit disappointed for our local guys, that's all.

Pants Boy Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 It's a business, Gen. Without ALL the big names there, it would just be another Trailseeker, ie they would have to charge < R200. Nothing wrong with Trailseeker, not my intent to dis them, just explaining the point about MAKING MONEY.

Spiff Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Any talk of Max Knox riding? Always thought the partnership of Knox & Yamamoto/Todd Wells was a brilliant backup team. Pity....

MrFine Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I see Niño,s doing a lot of long ride on strava
burty Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 If TopPeak Ergon pairs a top rider with Albin Lakata they could pull off a upset, He is a great rider and often pushes sauser to the limit in races, think he came second in world marathon champs last year. Its about time theres a change at the top

Its about time theres a change at the top I may be wrong, but Lakata got injured a little while ago and has been out of action.
Squier Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Sauser knows how to pick partners. He's almost better with that than riding a bike. Love the Nino and Flippie partnership. They'd probably only go for stage wins though. Should make for some great racing!

Its about time theres a change at the topI defnitely rate lakata...like you say. Don't know if he is racing though, and with who
Gen Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) When you say "sponsoring" what exactly are they giving them? Now those details I don't know. Probably riding kit and a case of wine http://www.wine.co.za/news/News.aspx?NEWSID=24349 Edited February 7, 2014 by Gen

Its about time theres a change at the top Lakata is out. He ruptured his achilles tendon in a ski accident in December.
