Bizkit031 Posted October 12, 2014 Share I was there when it happened,his shoe flew over 10mtr in the air and in the wash bay by the petrol station,the taxi that hit him was a Mercedes Sprinter. He smashed the windscreen and dented part of the roof and went straight over. Not the way I wanted to see my Amashova race start off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis for real Posted October 12, 2014 Share Wish the man a speedy recovery. A little off topic but it seems not only taxi's are to blame for the carnage on our roads,it seems that "cyclists" also think they can drive as they want and all will be fine. overtaking two vehicles at a time on a double white, around a bend between Knysna and Plett....i have words for this idiot but can't say them here.but it has something to do with his MA.

Skylark Posted October 12, 2014 Share Shame, a Ballie that old getting hit that severely hardly ever recovers properly, that is a really nasty crash. Hope he makes it through. How the heck did he end up head on with a mini bus, did it turn in front of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Brett Posted October 12, 2014 Share His name was Ronnie Mansel. Close friend of my father and fellow member of bluff cycling. Passed away today at 11h50 at grays hospital. Wasn't his first amashova and also has multiple comrades marathons under the belt. For those who knew him and those that didn't may he forever be in our hearts.
