dev null Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 My bike looked like that after my recent faceplant. Blood all over the top tube. He won't feel the eina now that much. The eina will come tonight while attempting to sleep.
scotty Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Not shabby for someone with a full time day job and mother, ahead of full pro riders. 7. 88. RBS 137-1 Theresa Ralph South Africa Women 137-2 Jeannie Bomford 12:29.52,9 +1:26.42,6 South Africa
GLuvsMtb Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 So tomorrow is Hump Day. The riders will have just over 8000m of climbing left when they reach Worcester. Despite another powerful performance by the Songo boys a lot can still happen. Topeak Ergon showed some good form today. They seem to be the only team that can respond to Kulharvy's big engine. The stage seems to lean itself to the contenders marking each other for most of the stage and possibly have the likes of Merida or Scott contend for the stage win. The mountain ranges between Grabouw and Worcester is notorious for claiming tyres with sharp shale that seems to attract sidewalls at will. Ariane and Annika can switch to fatbikes and still win the event comfortably, thats how dominant they have been over the last 3 days.
Shebeen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 wonder what happened??gonna take a shot in the dark here. wiped into a tree/rock/partner and klapped his headbled all the way to the finish/next WP. either that or he found some protestors in pinehaven who though he looked like tony ehrenriech
Shebeen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 i don't think this is over at all...sure songo look like a deadbeat for the win but there's a lot of rocky road still to be spun before sunday. a bit in the dark over the backup teams. Bulls normally don't skimp here at all, and have even brought 3 teams sometimes. but sahm is riding on another team so surely can't be helping here. just looking at the positions today at WP3, who had backup, who was on their eis. songo - do they have backup? (RE:CM an hour back, spading chicks)topeak 1 - topeak 2 15mins backbulls1 - bulls 2 2:30 backmultivan merida - no backup? is that it?

arendoog Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I SAW HER VERY briefly at the monster one year,,,,,MACHINEThat year she crossed the finish line almost the same time as the winning male rider .Apart from Team Arianne and Annika she must be the best climber
Headshot Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Oli Munnik is basically a downhiller with superior XCM skills so very unswise to play with him on the descents :-)
DIPSLICK Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 That year she crossed the finish line almost the same time as the winning male rider .Apart from Team Arianne and Annika she must be the best climberdont know if it was the same year i am talking about but she looked like she just done a roller warm up when she came in
Gen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 RECM ladies have been slapped with a 1hr13m time penalty for taking a 5km shortcut[emoji15]
flymango Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 RECM ladies have been slapped with a 1hr13m time penalty for taking a 5km shortcut[emoji15] They mistakenly took a wrong turn. If it was willful they would have been DQ'ed. Clearly they wouldn't be trying any shortcuts. I still back them to make it up and win.

I still back them to make it up and win.Nah last yr Evans willfully took a shortcut and they got a time penalty Yeah they'll make it up.. but it still a 5km shortcut. I am sure it was unintentional but they still gained and advantage. . Maybe the other ladies teams will decide to go for it and will race them.
