Cape Epic 2019

Absolute pure GOLD!

 

Spaz riders don't know how to ride their tyres, and Nino n Co are rookies

rookie error in terms of fixing their tyre. I did not mean they are rookie riders. Big difference

Hey that gap is coming down a bit.

Might be right.

 

I saw Peter Sagan battle to just get his chain back on his back over the weekend. Support car pulled in and got it done in a couple of seconds

also, in the photo it looks like a tubolito, if you know what this is, you'll see its not a normal tube.

 

its an amazing piece of kit.

Well this is the first stage they started without a camelback, so its actually better to not ride with it

Sort of related : a few years back we camped with Morne van Rensburg, at the time he was the mechanic for RECM. He told me that he spent half a day with Arianne and Annika teaching them how to plug, fix and change tyres and had them do it repeatedly until they were confident in their ability to do it in the race. Sometimes the pros don't know how to do these things. And changing a tyre can be extra hard when you are bleeding through your eyeballs.

Bru,

 

you don;t want to know how many mens elites don;t know how to fix their own tyres. Helped at least ten of them in a stage race in 2017. they kinda just stand around looking confused
