When does Nic Dlamini actually ride in the big stuff? What are rules on the larger competitions? Have hardly missed a race this year and just feels he never gets the opp to ride?Or is that just the team strategy? Please educate me.

kosmonooit Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 That was some proper bike racing in a beautiful part of Italy. Egan rode wisely, and what a team. Underachiever 1

He lost a lot of race days due to his injury because (sanparks assault) and COVID travel restrictions.. Hope we see him at the Vuelta.... Teams pic the riders they feel will deliver on whatever their goals are for the races.. He may just have needed some more race days after a difficult year before a Grand Tour.

That was totally unnecessary regardless of what happened-if the ranger has such balls he needs to hunt poachers in the Kruger with a knife, not attack cyclists. Wish him well and just really want to see him out there. Gen and justinafrika 2

Assos took the neo pro to the Giro, must have known he had better form than Nic and he won a stage yesterday. OVERDRIVE 1

Gen Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Cat 2 at the Giro = Cat 1 at the TDF.. Cause they are evil like that.. Are we going to see our favourite De Beast in the break today? Vetplant 1

Pic credit: Cor Vos There was so much going on in the pink-jersey group, I missed the whole Breakaway dynamic. They should really rebroadcast the stage, just showing the footage from the breakaway, would like to see all the drama there.

I just noticed Schmid finished 41st at Strade Bianche this year ( in same time as Buchman who also rode so well yesterday) so he might not be a star but is also is no pumpkin. Well done to whoever it is at Qhubeka Assos for spotting his potential and recruited and selected him for the team and the race. Underachiever, Vetplant, Pure Savage and 1 other 4
Vetplant Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 212km stage. No break established yet after 49km... Shoh
