SA Road and TT 2008

[Void2]

Michelle Corbett wins SA champs Double Gold, TT was won by more than 1.38 and the road was won by more than 4.55. I think after the junior tour remarks Gypsey should swallow the remarks made about this talented young rider.

Hugo Jansen from Mr Price YCA also got Double Gold winning the road race by more than 6.23

Marnitz Mare also from Mr Price just missed Gold in the Road by looking back in the final sprint - a lesson well learnt never look back in the sprint. Marnitz had to be satisfied with silver

Well Done to all the medal winners at the SA champs.

Hugo Jansen is Barend from TCS's younger brother. Well done Hugo!!! Keep it up lad.

I dont think SA champs is a true reflection on a riders performance, i mean, if a person puntures or crashes, there is no chance that he/she will get back into the main group and have a chance in winning!

 

 

 

I think a national tour reflects a riders true performance and how much the person has actually trained.

 

 

 

What do you people think??

 

 

 

P.S dont you think the u16 boys race was a bit short??

Void, Marnitz got a hiding in the sprint. Bradley timed his to perfection. There was no way he was not going to win that, taking it by at least 2 bike lengths. He was on Marnitz's wheel going to the line but went past him so easily. In u16's Toyota got 8 medals of the 12 (TT and RR, boys and girls), the rest not more than 1 each.

U16's will not be allowed to race more than 80km at SA's - this is officially their limit. There were too many strong contenders that did not allow any breaks to go. There was also a headwind as you turned left after the climb, very few attacks stayed away. Hugo's was one, Michelle and Ashleigh Blackwell the other 2 phenomenal rides. Well done to all meadallists and participants.

well done to all!

Mushy, in road cycling you have tours and 1 day races. You cant say a Tour winner is better than Hunter, Bettini, Boonen, Lange.
