The stupid little board for the front of the bike with your race number on. Does it have to be on the bike? 
The cable ties aren’t long enough for the aero bars 🫠

Use tape if you don't have longer ones, and put it on your seatpost if not enough real estate on the bars.

It’s there for the photographers to identify you, so it doesn’t absolutely have to be there.

Live broadcast on YT. Hectic FOMO right now, the weather is chalk and cheese compared to 2022.

Worst camera work I have seen since last year's livestream. Looks like a night race.

Big opportunity missed to show of something great in RSA and beauty of  the Cape

At least the poor camera work makes me feel a little less bad about being sick and missing out. 🙈

I suppose trying to cover multiple races with one broadcast has its challenges. 🤷‍♂️

Yoh dude tell me about it... How the ladies get 90% of their race covered while half of the mens race is missed is crazy. Also kudos of getting the most dull expert on commentary assistant. Okay rant over.

 

What a ride @Sid the Sloth!!! If Chris doesn't EFT you half his winnings tomorrow then open a case. Lol massive effort in the break!

There used to be a rule banning aero bars....I'd hate to be riding with a TT bike in a bunch and with wind ...

Some brutal falls witnessed in 1A today - the bunch that fell down hospital bend apparently knocked a rider clean out, then a couple of sporadic falls, including one climbing up towards the Scarborough split.

I’m going to sound old, but in all my Argus’s/CTCT’s never felt as vulnerable in the bunch as today.

I think he's referring to wide flat topped bars rather than TT aero bars ...

The latter is still banned as far as I know.

Has there ever been a year without a crash on hospital bend ... and inevitably it is in those "race" groups 1A-D.

Speedy recovery to all involved.
