Excellent Result! Two weeks ago he totally destroyed the field in Bloem. A guy standing next to me said that it is so sad that this guy has no competition here in SA but put him on the world stage and he will dissappear.

Apparently not.

Beeg things coming from Alan.

Love it.

If anyone could ever fill Burry's shoes Alan has the best chance...

DSTV do not have the rights from UCI to broadcast downhill or cross country events and therefore not one international event will be televised this year.

Bunch of useless wankers who have no idea of their target market.

 

Except that RB pushed very hard and paid a lot of money for exclusivity. So they are the only carriers / broadcasters.

 

I agree that DSTV are a bunch of idjits, but in this case it's not their fault

 

RedBull have been the exclusive production carrier for a number of years with DSTV running from their platform.

DSTV and other broadcasters bought into their live feed, perhaps the terms have changed, but RB sell that airtime on as part of their content sales.

Any updates?

Nino is riding away from everyone on his 29er as predicted, Absolon in 4th, Coolharvey way behind (not feeling well last four weeks) and just got a front puncture riding Specialized

Posted

When is Specialized going to realize their tyres are shiiite? Or more importantly, will Koolharvey throw his toys and tell them to wake up and start produce quality rubber and not import from chinese condom manufacturers?

 

Marrot is definitely someone to watch for the future

The course is insane! 230m climbing and 4.2 long. To put it in perspective for the capies. Contermans from the shed to the mast is 4.1km and 289m climbing(if I remember right)

To do 6 repeats of that in 1:30 is flippin insane. Essentially the same climbing in half the distance cos on conters you still have to go back down again.
