The Zig Zag climb

 

That'll warm me up

That's gonna HURT. 

 

Oh, ja. And they're all pussies. 60km in 40plus degrees is a walk in the park... Organ failure, schmorgan failure... HTFU.

 

Yeah, right. Anyone who does that, in that heat, deserves respect for the sheer willpower that it requires to carry on pedalling. 

 

Strikes me that whilst people may be getting adequate hydration, are they getting adequate electrolyte supplementation? They must be secreting enormous amounts of sodium  / potassium / mag etc. May be worthwhile for some to get salt tabs just to replace the stuff they lose on such hot and long efforts.

Are they not aware that they are commentating on delayed pictures?

 

The live feed says Spez are attacking and pulling away, while they are commentating on delayed "live" pictures from some time ago.

 

Or is my Internet just too slow? :-P

found the actual show on DSTV/catchup now. http://now.dstv.com/catchup/program/a7bc6b5a-b674-45f0-8673-35d89001ff83?&acc_pg_sec=catchup%20search%20tab

JUST SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS, AND CAN STOP ASKING.... :whistling:  :ph34r:

 

HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE IS ON CHANNEL 202 @ 21H30 EVERY NIGHT. HALF AN HOUR SHOW.

 

:D

ok my bad, then. Was out of town all weekend, doing amongst other things, riding my bike. I searched everything from SS4-SS9. The supersport tv-guide is so blerrie useless you have to search channel by channel. I have never seen cycling on SS2 before. You're welcome to call me a poephol for not undertanding how DSTV schedules their programs, but remember they have a long history of treating the TV-Guide as nothing more than a rough guide of what could possibly be on the channel at that time. Plenty of times have tried recording something but the actual broadcast channel changes

 

 

 

Are u seriously complaining because CE does not have the DSTV CE schedule on its website?

Did u try look on DSTV schedule?
If DSTV don't have it on their own schedule then......

Subscribe to the CE daily email and follow the various links to daily coverage..... QED

ja I am. they've got Algeria, Belgium, Tunisia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Portugal but not South Africa.

Christo is the Brand Manager for the Cape Epic, and a keen Hubber. I don't envy him having to talk on TV, I'd be nervous as anything! Give him a chance, he's got some great insights.

Not the same Christo that knits socks?

To be fair, he is getting more comfortable and making a lot of sense and is probably doing a much better job than I would do. Although maybe I am just getting soft, because even Gerald is starting to sound pleasant now. Maybe I have been away from SA too long. [emoji23]

Commentating is not an easy job for sure, no ways I could do that. It must be awful that the feed keeps cutting and then you are on camera having to find something to say.

 

The live stream and commentary has been great!
