Jackes Posted January 20, 2020 Share I don't know why.... But walmsley rubs me the wrong way+100. And in my case I know why! But that does not change the fact that he is brilliant yes. Jewbacca and Stretch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted January 20, 2020 Share +100. And in my case I know why! But that does not change the fact that he is brilliant yes. As a matter of interest, why does he rub you the wrong way? I also massively appreciate his efforts but I am also rubbed the wrong way by him..... (insert frotting joke) I enjoy Tommy Puzey, part of his 'crew', but their whole social campaign and media presence annoys me. Next I'm going to be editor of the echo.....

dave303e Posted January 20, 2020 Share I dig Walmsley, sometimes he goes a bit maverick, but it takes certain mindset to say record or hospital that is the goal for today. I also like that he is an all round runner. He can run road, sub 14min 5km to 100 miler trail runs. DOn't see a lot of pro runners diversifying... On the diversity front. Have you seen how well the top Dusi paddlers run. I saw Hank McGregor won a trail run on the weekend in KZN. Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja, my issue is not his actual athleticism, but more the way he comes across sometimes in his interviews and socials. I have absolutely no real reason to dislike him and I'm sure he wouldn't care a whit, but it's like when you are sure you smell a fart when you haven't farted but are alone in the room....... As a physical specimen he is phenomenal and some of the crazy things he has attempted (and pulled off) deserve the plaudits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who chose to spend 24 hours a day in an underground bunker with nukes must be pretty 'different'. I think Jim just has a unique personality. Love Tommy, what a fascinating guy. I see he's changed sponsors and is about to unveil a Craft (as in the cycling gear) shoe in the same vein as Next%'s etc. On that, did everyone see the ungodly beasts Adidas unleashed at Houston?!

Watching them unleash on the running sections, with a boat on their shoulder and through some seriously technical and steep terrain is a treat.

Willis Marais Posted January 20, 2020 Share Good day everyone This is a bit of a weird request and I don't really know where I should post this, but anyways... To make a long story short my carbon frame cracked beyond repair and I would like to know if anyone could possibly borrow me a bike for the day of the Cape Town Cycle Tour. I would also rent it as long as it is not an outlandishly high price. I am a student at Stellenbosch University and therefore cannot afford a new bike at the moment, but would like to ride the Argus. I don't mind if it is a road bike or mountain bike and I am not really chasing crazy times this year as my bike is obviously broken and I am training on a friends bike (He is also riding). Thanx everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Unique'.. I'm 100% sure there are plenty of people who regard me as a lonely fart too, so 'no harm no foul'... I saw those and wondered if Adidas were starting a new endurance speed lawn bowls craze....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackes Posted January 21, 2020 Share Ja, my issue is not his actual athleticism, but more the way he comes across sometimes in his interviews and socials. Lets just say I'm more the R Feferer kind of fan than the Walmsley type of fan. True champs stay humble in my books. This type of attitudes does not speak to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52n2ZFoQzNE But that takes nothing away from his brilliance, he has amazing abilities!
