Recommended Posts

The guy is off to the Olympics and here we are being silly about silly stuff! Great to have saffas there and I'm sure in 2020 we will have more riders representing. 

 

Best of luck James, bike looks mint and I'm sure you'll go like stink.

Ok, on point....

 

What are his chances? Has he said what his goals are? Besides beating Sagan... :)

Thank you so much for posting in a legible colour. Not like these other maniacs who post in black, its like they want their posts to me misread or run over!

 

Looks closely and you will see Admin's font change to yellow. Very clever.

so here's my olympic XCO drinking game suggestion, this is the one where we don't talk about shock mountings

 

every time gerald de kock mentions the spaz colour change you take a drink.

every time he mentions Sagan is a road rider, you take two drinks

every time he mentions how only nino/absolon and JK have won a world cup since 20voertsek you take three drinks

every time he mentions james reid, you down your drink

This is very funny!

No uniformity regarding bike choices. I see some are on the Stumpjumpers and others on Epics. Wonder why?

 

personal preference?

To finish top 40 would be great for a change.

Lol out of a field of 50 something riders, I would hope so.

Yes it would, it would indeed.

 

Pity about him not racing in Europe like our leading ladies but still getting to go to Rio. Real swak of CSA.

If I recall correctly, James raced in La Bresse, Albstadt, Nove Mesto and Lenzerheide.

 

South African women did not accumulate enough points to qualify for the Olympics.
