I reckon it would be a hoot to sit around a camp fire with Hermida.. did i hear him correctly when he said the WP are the most critical points because you just want to spend a lot of time there..(or something along those lines)..

Natalia Fisher from the MMR mixed team is sucking a lot of wheel there behind Team summit . Is that allowed ?

I thought each cat races their own race and are not allowed to influence or get help from another cat ?

Rodrigues is just as funny, Ive never not been around him and he is cracking jokes 24/7. They really a fresh breath of air.

Yeah..a guy that will smoke a cigar on the last stage of the TDF is bound to be a entertaining fella..[emoji847]

Anna had a good day today..all smiles after the stage again. Put the hammer down early

 

I really really hope she has had a nice time and goes back and tells all the ladies that it is awesome so that we see more elite ladies come and do it and see the elite ladies field grow.... not sure what the prize money is..but it has been very good in the past.

 

Perhaps when the lot over in europe start seeing more pro road ladies opt for the Epic and not their races they may just do something about their prize money.

We watched the start this morning.

The UCI bunch was klapping it before they even got off the field onto the gravel road. The next batches were definitely slower off the field. The hunger for glory is still strong in front.

There is one line down, with few places to pass. There are a few places with obstacles that give B and sometimes C options - such as that one. Not overtaking there could result in being stuck behind a slow rider for long. She was probably held up for a while before that point. Racing incident, imo, no blame re. the crash.

The replays showing on TV does make the nobody look like a chop for getting up and riding on without a backward glance after taking out one of the lady contenders, though.

Yebo, getting up and not checking on her was a *** move for sure. It doesn't change that fact that her crash was her fault though :) Or rather, not his fault. Either way

My 5 year old son saw this and asked me:

 

Pappa, moes daai oom nie stop en jammer sê en kyk of daardie tannie oraait is nie. Dit maak mos nie saak wie se skuld dit is nie, as iemand val en dalk seer kry, sê jy mos jammer.”

 

For me, that sums it up...And I am giving his dad a high 5 ????????

Hahahahah sure sure.

I'm sorry but if you come up behind me and I crash while you're taking a sketchy line to try overtake me and your impatience is the reason you fall. Sorry for you. Yes, I'd stop to check you're OK. But don't blame me. The person in front in a singletrack has the right of way. Full stop on your full stop n kla

Yes David we get it you're a tjop

 

If you crash your bike into me and I fall as a result,then it's on you.

If you can't comprehend that then the problem is deeper than a poor attitude and bad manners
