miketinn Posted November 17, 2014 Share I am a huge vos fan, and was excited to hear she was coming. I am a bit suprised that she rode to win though. I think its such a big race in SA, can't the likes of Vos, Moolman, Stander & Schoeman etc quietly decide to ride for charity and give an up and coming youngster a chance in the spotlight? Last year Ashleigh outsprinted an 18yr old to victory, that seems a bit pointless. I understand the whole "race to win or dont particiapte" argument, but Impey seems to get my drift.

I understand the whole "race to win or dont particiapte" argument, but Impey seems to get my drift.There are only 2 road races a year in SA when riders (read: sponsors) get decent coverage. Why would you only ride for charity in one of them? Having Vos here was a major showcase for woman's cycling. What anti-climax would it have been to have the best cyclist in the world dawdling along in the charity bunches. Don't agree at all. It's a major road race on the calender. Racing to win is just normal. Iron Midge, _David_, GaryvdM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The racing was positive! And if anything she only encouraged the younger riders. She stop and spoke to each young girl who asked her a question. I admire her for coming here to race. Ladies cycling is taking a dip again and this put the ladies onto the map, even if it was just for one race. GaryvdM and Andrew Steer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Vos and Schoeman etc should just gift races to youngsters? We must stop coddling our youngsters. If they are good enough to win then they will; otherwise they should just work harder at it and the results will come. Just remember that these are professional athletes, with contracts.... kent77, GaryvdM and Andrew Steer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say no to your next promotion and go straight to Management today asking them to make sure one of the latest staff members is made the CEO, so that they too can get a chance! Changes things when it's your job eh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryvdM Posted November 17, 2014 Share I think it was excellent to have Vos here, and for her to race. I'm only sad that Ashliegh could not give her a harder time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
