Rowl Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Does anyone know of an accident at today’s race apparently cyclists got knocked over by taxiHeard something of an accident but no details. Rode in BL basically to the end. We caught the ladies, yo-yo'ed for a bit until the commissare neutralised our group. Experienced the group as jittery, but luckily no incidents. Except the guy who binned it at 102km on his own. @Club100, please educate your riders on the topic of littering. Guy in full black kit on a black Spez thought nothing of it to chuck his gels.
Rowl Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Apparently a taxi hit some competitors from behind. Around 10 people involved. Some critical.Eish.

Riamich Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Knowing that road is busy surely a full road closure should be arranged. No mention of it on their FB acc. Disgusting from Bestmed

Not much fun seeing people in the air and bikes all over the road. On the other hand. Thanks for the people that took part in the race for CANSA. A cause very near to my heart and ass
