I think this was answered.

She has been close the last two seasons, fighting with the front pack ........... and then ditching the husband and new coach = the breakthrough she has been looking for.

@HairyMan that husband part was cold  🤣

Would never have thought I would be shouting for a Auzzie, but RM is rocking and rolling

Hey .... clearly it made a difference .... let me go tell my wife we are done and then I can go racing and win a few podiums.

Well she got stuck with the surname .... whatever, she's found a new lease of life. I don't think there is anything 'untoward' about this despite the naysayer doubters grumblings, as she rides to her 3rd victory, 40s, personally I am happy for her, its been quite a journey, and to see her skoping these wipper-snappers into their places

Damned Neff has some sprinting power in those legs.

Becs is 30. Still a while for the 40s yet.

And that after a 26 month comeback from a training accident that landed her in ICU and cost her her spleen.

 

 

She has steadily improved over the last 12 months, in the short races.  Still seem to lack the stamina for Sunday .... hope she will be up front at the end of the long races.

Lets finish off the weekend well.

Pidcock's main aim in life is too destroy our legs. Mine hurt just watching him climb. Nino, however, believes:

Alan hanging tough .... hope he can stay there

[Hairy]

Flip, poor Nino

Sad that the only time HA can pass Nino is when Nino has a flat 😂

I got attacked by the Maxxis crowd on the Cape Epic thread...so I found Mac Maharaj to help type this. 

"Remember, as the sport is extreme, many, many tyres will have many, many issues of the the course and it is impissible to leave room to calculate, or assimilate, what could, or could not happen, during the race. Therefore, one must always be prepared, be positive, when things which could, or could not happen, when they do happen."

Firstly, Mac didn't say that. 

Secondly, I want to have "bad luck" with other brands, thanks.

Brilliant!  I heard his voice reading that phrasing.
