MonsterMan Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Well done to all our South Africans representing us at the Gold Coast common wealth games......Great to see Alan Hatherly coming in and taking the bronze in the XCO MTB, but with all due respect, Clint Hendricks came in and took Bronze in the Road race.....why is there no mention of this any where???

No Hare Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Road race guys do not need social media recognition Road race guys do not seek attentionThey are cool that way
Eldron Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Plus it's the commonwealth games. All the actual cyclists are on the world tour. He got beaten by a guy that was in a neck brace a few weeks back...
ajnkzn Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Regardless. I was super stoked to see him come from nowhere in the sprint and wipe the arrogant look off that little **** Sam Gaze’s face.
karma Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Plus it's the commonwealth games. All the actual cyclists are on the world tour. He got beaten by a guy that was in a neck brace a few weeks back...How do you really feel about Clint ????
Eldron Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 How do you really feel about Clint ????About Clint personally? I don't even know the guy. I have no feelings either way. My statement has nothing to do with Clint - I just don't think the achievement is outstanding in the greater scheme of things.

But, it's a medal for South Africa, which I think we can all agree is good.

My statement has nothing to do with Clint - I just don't think the achievement is outstanding in the greater scheme of things.But you rave about Willie Smit hey? Is it because you know him???? Or his achievement is outstanding in the greater scheme of things. Is it so difficult to give some credit when one of our Saffas do well?
Eldron Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Understood. But, it's a medal for South Africa, which I think we can all agree is good.For sure! I've been keeping an eye on the medal table and 6th is punching above our weight I reckon.
Patchelicious Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Understood. But, it's a medal for South Africa, which I think we can all agree is good.A medal for SA is alway good. And I do know Clint, not well but we have shared a couple of really cool conversations and rides, he is an proper lekker guy. But one must always compare results with field quality if you want to be truly impartial. I think he did well and I take my hat off to him.

Compare that to a regional rider getting bronze at a depleted regional comp. Willie wins that one hands down. Plus I never said it wasn't an achievement- I just pointed out that the competition pool was pretty shallow.

Credit where credit is due - it was in a world tour event and the quality of the field was incredible. But credit where credit is due... Clint made the winning break and netted a Bronze for himself and team SA - also against a top quality field
