Sorry if I've missed it, But if I haven't, I'm very surprised we don't have this topic being lively with SA Champs taking places this weekend in Swellendam and the ITT being today. Noticeable absentees this year are obviously Impey, and I haven't seen anything about Meintjies or De Bod being there thsi year. Without Impey being there, it would have been the perfect year for De Bod in the ITT because we all know what a machine he is in that discipline and would be nice to see the SA Flag at WT level again on the ITT stages. Money must on Gibbons who recently took the ITT and Road Champs titles at the African Champs recently in Egypt. In the road race, Gibbons, Willie Smit, Nic Dlamini are all on their lonesome this year against the ProTouch guys unless Qhubeka Assos have u23 Feeder team riders riding who can help Nic. If one of the local boys manage to steal the jersey from Gibbons, We wont have any SA Jersey on the WT this year. In the ladies race, Ashleigh Moolman Pasio is not coming home to defend her title, The travelling and possible bans and then quarantine and all of this has had a role to play, So no SA Jersey in the womans UCI Peloton anymore.

 

To All the hubbers taking part, Good Luck, SMASH IT....

 

**Edit: Thanks Admin. I clearly missed it.

 

 

Yeah, huge pity about de Bod not being there. His 8th position in the ITT during the UAE tour is by far the best performance of any local rider on the big stage so far this year. He beat some big names that day. Like u said, it would have been nice to see him  showing the SA flag in a big race later this year.

Theres no nice way to say this, but I'm almost embarrassed (for SA, cycling and those of us trying to learn more) that that twitter feed is the extent of the coverage.

 

Edit: never mind, I at least found the timing screen

is the event being covered somewhere?

It's CSA. Don't expect fireworks, in fact, don't even expect the basics.
