One mistake and all your prep is down the drain. I'd love to give the Eoic abash agian when the route is similar to 2021. The Southern Cape routes are quite tame in comparison or maybe I just know the trails a lot better than the more Northern routes. Thanks bud, we surprised ourselves in the end. Also we didn't set any goals as we knew 1 bad day might of led to disappointment. We just took and day by day and had a blast!

Humbling bunch that are really grateful for the opportunity. They were loving every minute of it. I was telling my work colleagues today of them as he saw them walking sections of the prologue. He couldn't believe that I told him they made each day quite comfortably. They maybe fit but mentally, just listening to them, they were super strong and determined on finishing. Respect ????????

mecheng89 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Interesting fact, I heard Gerald de Kock say on the wrap up of S7 on YouTube - Bart Brentjins (spelling), winner of the Grand Masters jersey overall has won not only that category, but the elites and Masters as well in the earlier years! Talk about an evergreen rider. eala and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was highly suspicious as well because he wasn't achieving anything then suddenly got a 2nd wind and boom caught. maybe he was maybe he wasn't doping in the mid 2000's we won't know for sure unless they decide to go fishing for more evidence in old samples but what good would that do?
