it could've been anyone from either campt hat called any of the mods - but it was deleted without warning just when someone asked someone else to post banji's info....

That was just coincidence - sorry to destroy the conspiracy theory.  I think it was Mallo that promised more info - perhaps you can PM him directly.

Oh but if other clubs and the likes are at times slandered on this hub it is OK? sound a bit bias .... someone made a statement about DR/ML ... y should they be protected by this forum? Surely this forum is BIASED.

Who is the guy who started the thread? it was his first post. Perhaps it was an alter ego of an existing member. It was ballsy for a 1st post so probably just some ........... trying to get a reaction

No' date=' it was deleted because it clearly does not present all the facts (although most of you could see that straight away).  I have suggested that a more balanced post be added by those in the know (ie Malcolm and/or Doug) - but that is really up to them whether such a post is added.[/quote']

 

i think it was a good call. the new hubber, banji, who started it doesn't give any details of who or what he was (as i posted on that thread). clearly here just to stir.

Not that the hubbers need much to stir them these days, it is true that it seems that facts only get in the way of a good spat ......... both sides of the story are clearly not what most want to see Big%20smile

Hi Shamus 


Who ever wrote this stuff doesn't have many facts, and must be a bit of an idiot.


there is a potential sponsor that Malcolm has secured, and not one of Doug's for that matter, as with who may go or not, there is no establishment of that yet, 


So i would not take this to heart, 


And wouldn't it be better if there were more teams to fill the pool in SA? 


I don't think that MTN would disappear if a rider or two went to another team. But it would certainly increase the interest in how that racing pans out - don't you think?


Cheers, 

Nic

Quote Banji Replybullet Topic: Lange Stabs Douglas Ryder in the back !!!!!!!!!!
    Posted: Today at 11:58am

After saving the Malcolm Lange Sinking ship a few years ago, Malcolm has done the unthinkable by stabbing Douglas Ryder in the back.
 

When Malcolm was removed from the HSBC cycling team for personal reasons, Douglas came to the rescue and offered him a ride on his team. Malcom took it with open arms and proved to be a valuable signing. With malcolm on the team Doug managed to secure big sponsors and build a strong team.

 

Now the tides have turned. Malcolm has infact started his own team with some of Dougs Sponsors, which may cause the colapse of MTN cycling team. To add salt to the wounds, Nic the Prick and Ian are going with. Now bearing in mind, Nic and his buddies knew about the demise of HSBC way before the rest of his team did and secured his own future with MTN before the announcement was made.

 

So, ten years down the line what can the local cycling scene in South Africa say about the established riders. Are they still the scheming bunch they were a few years back. Is it still a case of "I am ok Jack, Skrew you". I think so.

 

So, as to all the psychophantic cheerleading about Malcolm Lange and his 380 odd wins, what are the critics going to say? Mind you, try and have a conversation with either Nic or Mal and you can see why the two of them need to carry on riding their bikes.

 

Flicking your saviour like that makes me wondor just how hard it would be for them to put a needle in the vein.Confused

I think far worse things have been said on the hub and not beed deleted.  There often references made about certain shops and individuals (unfairly imo) and nothing gets done about that.

I reckon there wasn't much truth to the story - Gossip in SA cycling spreads faster than anything imagineable. Someone else among the 200 odd people online would have heard something regarding this, had it been true. Clearly no one else knew anything about this, so it was probably someone trying to cause a sensation, or just someone who has their facts terribly mixed up.

 

On the other hand, in the unlikely case that it is true, the whole community will know by this afternoon Wink

well said phen. also interesting to note that banji is logged on, watching all this, but has yet to respond on this thread, or nic's response.

OK

 

So why remove the post? All I did was report on something that has just broken news. Why dont Douglas, Malcolm or Nic respond to the post rather than the Admin just delete it straight off.

 

It seems rather suspicious that the post gets removed asap.

 

Now, how about some more info !!!!! Doug has called a meeting for all of the riders. He got wind of this just before the team left for Morrocco and had a crappy in his pants.

 

Lets get to the bottom of the story before deleting the post please Mr Admin.
