rock Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Look I know what you saying....but gaining is gaining. He will have to take his medicine. dont get me wrong, *** move on KE's part......just a pity a penalty decides the overall..... I actually think African jersey should be scrapped....... Andrew Steer, GLuvsMtb, rouxtjie and 2 others 5
Sworks20 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Correct - I'm saying that Scott will be in the jersey tomorrow but Bell & Kleinhans will catch & overtake them during the remainder of the race and will win the African jersey. Are you mad?? Gert and Matthys are killing them and did so very very well today. No chance unless a major mechanical.
Sworks20 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 If I were The sponsorship manager at Fedgroup I'd be cashing out of this team at the first opportunity. The way they supported Brandon when he tested positive for doping and being party buddies after hours there is no way they will cash out, they support what is going on which is good cause if they left no one in their right mind will sponsor this team.

rouxtjie Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Kevin Evans @kevinevansracin 6m-@AbsaCapeEpic my intention was to pass outcasts who get in the way. Not to gain 6 places. Apologies for upsetting anyone.He forgot to add that its ok to sit on their wheels though leading up to the singletrack. Sworks20 1
Sworks20 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Shame I actually feel very sorry for Knox. . Here everyone was doubting his form after the team shuffle and he is actually the stronger of the 2. Where do you get the info he is the strongest? Your love for this team is amazing through this dark cloud they under with doping positives, course cutting and cheating, fines etc. something I haven't seen since the days of the Lance fan club. I commend you.

Sworks20 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Speaking of, wonder if he appealed? I dont think he has any money after Epic to appeal with the amount of fines his team has accumulated.

jcza Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Are you mad?? Gert and Matthys are killing them and did so very very well today. No chance unless a major mechanical. Mental health is ok (I think) was just a theory based on race up to that point. I'm not complaining, I'm saving money with Beukes and Heyns in red! Also picked them as young team to watch pre-race.
davem Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 As a roadie, may I ask a question about the course? Is it specifically designed/demarcated that you have to follow an exact route. Obviously if you have to pass particular points that is a defined course. If, however, you are required to start at the bottom of a hill at a fixed point and finish at the top at a fixed point, must you follow the established track? The track is obviously an easier route and less risky, but if you are strong and take the risks of falls and punctures, why cannot you not find your own route? Is each switchback taped or marked so you cannot deviate? I understand the detailed route is not published for various reasons? Am curious as to how this is implemented.

Gandalf Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 27.2 A deposit of R250 must accompany any protest, before the protest will be considered. I wonder what this is for? - maybe to make people think twice before protesting something?

I recon that R250 goes into the coffers.

Technical, but valid......
eddy Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Methinks they should put decisions like these to the Hub in the form of a poll. We are better when we skip the poll and go straight to the witch hunt...... scotty 1
