edit: i see DDD is not doing the TTT, but impey is already there with orica

[Sharkie 2]

Has anybody got an idea who is representing us?

 

I can see Willie Smit is on the TT start list and saw a pic of Chane Jonker in SA kit this week so she will be riding with Ashleigh I take it.

 

Really weird that CSA has been silent on squad announcement

So bleak Froome not doing TDF Vuelta WC triple, the guy is slacking.

He will be doing the TTT and TT..????

I remember seen something on twitter about Ryan Gibbons been chosen but would not go because he couldn't afford to self fund.

Bottom line is whoever can afford to pay their own way is going.

So glad Willie got a call up. He seriously needs to make the jump from local racing and short stints in smaller European races to WT.

[Zeffer]

Not sure if all of the riders did go.... self funding is not a joke

[fanievb]

we have a local youngster taking part in the junior womens race.

this girl can RIDE a bicycle. I went attempted to go on a training ride with her once and left part of my lungs on the route.

GO ELNE #gooimielies

I'm also interested to see who actually goes.its a lot of money to spend on for "just the experience "

Problem is up and coming cyclists only see Froome and co thinking there are big bucks in cycling.

Reality is that most cyclists will always have cap in hand looking for money.

[Pure Savage]

I think Devin short is also going!

On this course I think Ash has a real chance, similar to the Rio course, bit of a climb thrown in, a not as bad as Rio so may suite her better. #Exciting

[Ispeed_V]

Why no Louis??

[dsw]

Why no Louis??

 

The course does not suit pure climbers and he is probably dead on his feet after racing the TdF and the Vuelta. 

[Pure Savage]

Why no Louis??

He is tapering for the DC...

[pe3nguin]

So glad Willie got a call up. He seriously needs to make the jump from local racing and short stints in smaller European races to WT.

He is currently leading the 2017 UCI Africa Tour rankings. Him and Brendon Davids have been riding so well together this year!

[stringbean]

To be honest only Ash should be there( opens up can of worms)
