Annika keeps that team together, 

you’ve got Neil the rambler, facts don’t make a good story 

you’ve got Gerald monotone good story lost in too much facts

then you’ve got Annika the enunciater who leaves you literally hanging on every word… 

what’s not to love. They’re unique

I like Annika but...she must learn not to say eh eh eh al the time.Just talk .

How good is your Danish when you translating from English?

geez hey... people have learned how to be negative about stuff.

It's good but.... 

It's good FULL STOP.

Call me naive, but I miss the days when people could simply enjoy things without always adding a 'but'.

Did you have a good ride?

'It was good, but.. could have been less wind/cars were everywhere/my coffee was a bit hot/Binkybonks was a bit slow and unfit/my attitude is weirdly rubbish and I'm incapable of just simply enjoying something.....' vs 'Thank you, it was really rad'

I like enjoying things. It makes me happy and gives me the ability to enjoy more things.

😂 Without anyone saying but you'd still be riding a boneshaker bicycle.

The boneshaker is nice but some way to propel it better would be rad.

The penny farthing is nice but too many OTBs

The clunker is nice but ... 

 

😉 But yeah, I hear you.

Really hope Nino, like Jordan and LeBron, is able to understand that not everyone is on that level. And the faliure for Andrei to ride like a beast consecutively is human, and for the mere mortal. Few riders save Egger and Baum can ride like that everyday. Def doing better than Lars, me thinks

He's won the Epic with Lars ..

There will be mud which means more risk, less grip and more watts required to navigate this stage. It's a big day for Lill & Wakefield as they aim for glory and a peak career moment.

And will the two young Germans prevail and repeat 2022 success.

Here's today's challenge:

But, there's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.

Neil Gardner is making sure he is not listening to the SABC evening news.
