Mark Cavendish and Mark Renshaw to race Cape Town Cycle Tour

[Brian Fantana]

climbs in the Argus route? Where are they?

 

 

Are you a noob?  We all know that the Argust is the hardest race in the world.  You will sit on the podium in cycling-heaven if you have a sub 3 August under your belt.

I reckon Manxy is off his best or past his best. He isn't the almighty sprinter he was a few years ago. Remember the guy that didn't need a lead out train?

 

Awesome for the race though - that'll bring plenty global attraction to ye olde cape town cycle tour argus newspaper world fun rider champs!

Yes his name is Marcel Kittle

Poor Mark probably just got tired of the following type of conversation:

 

Person: " So you're a cyclist?"

 

Mark: " Yeah, I really enjoy it."

 

Person: " Have you done the Argus?"

I can beat that. It went like this

 

Person " so you're a cyclist"

Me " Yes"

Person. "So why don't you do the Tour de France?"

Me. "Because I'm 54 and rubbish"

 

Seriously good news about Cav in Argus. Hope it doesn't blow like about 1000 Km h

Mark just tweeted he wont be racing for the win but supporting a charity cause

Ja Ja Mark. We know how it goes, Put at least 2 men together in a room and they will find something to compete over. I can just picture the elite peloton coming round the circle with a km to go and Mark saying "go ahead lads, I'll watch from the back"

Where did you see that? His last tweet was 16h ago...

 

[ZeroNeo]

The Argus maybe a little to short for him. So Nolan may have a better chance.

['Dale]

Just don't head bump The Hoff' outta the way, Renshaw.

More seriously, cool news.

Theres a saying that the skill gap between a 18-handicap golfer and a scratch-golfer is just as large as the gap between a scratch-golfer and a pro.

 

I would argue there is a similar comparison between a Tour sprinter, a 2h50min Argus rider and a five-hour-hopeful riding his first Argus.

[Gen]

No I reckon he is in it to win it.

The difference is in the doping programs imo.

[Frosty]

Everyone races the Argus. Position #23167 is just as important as #1

 

If he is RACING, then the mail issued by CSA yesterday about licensed riders in an unsanctioned race is a load of....

 

I reckon he'll be cruising with some corporates and those with a healthy wallet.

 

If I'm wrong, I'll have to EDIT my post
