Wonder how long the sponsorship is for?

3 years? 5 years? 1 year?

I wish/pray/hope they subsidise the entry fee, like spec-savers

Great news, but I hope this doesn't mean I'll be paying more bank charges!

I think a tri bike is still faster on that route. I say leave them on

For sure. Was said with tongue buried far in the cheek. Not too worried about the bike route. Doing Attakwas in Jan, so the bike leg should be fine. In any event.... bike for show, run for dough....not so?

As an employee of Standard Bank and as a resident of Port Elizabeth,this is AWESOME news.

[slabs]

Turning into a p1ssing contest between the banks:

 

ABSA = EPIC

FNB = W2W

 

and now Standard Bank gets the triathlon...

 

Wonder what the others are doing about it?
