dunno about that entirely, probably more down to cyclelab pushing the brand. It's not like Bulls ever had much market here despite 10+ yrs of podiums

Yep. The price you see goes even lower when you go there, they're throwing them out.

I mean, in the heat of the battle? I was confused.

Speed Company seems to me like a bunch of big mouths. They are under the pump to back up their noise.

Grotz is gonna blow later this week. He is hanging on by the skin of his teeth.

Nino and Fini are a minute back at this point, struggling up the Wagon pass:

Not struggling, Fini had a puncture earlier. Not much overtaking space up the Wagon trail

[Rowl]

Side note: Gerald and co noted earlier they were struggling with image quality, but attending to it...

 

Matt punctured a couple of mins ago, as did Candice.

OKes are upset when there is no coverage, then upset when there is. 

Even when the sunshines, the temp is a nice 25 degrees, blue skies, a nice refreshing breeze blowing…. You know those perfect days…. There’s will always be someone who will whinge that the weather is crap ( I’m comparing the weather to the CE tv coverage).

I'm sitting here at home in  🇨🇭 ( it’s a public holiday where I work) watching supersports live coverage listening to Gerald, Sabine and the doper ( 😇) Owen, geez what is there to complain about???

Maybe Sabine could sound less German 🤙

The 12-minute highlights of the start of Stage 2 were superb this morning. Great visuals. 

Starlink satellites will sort out all the signal issues. Pity it is not available in RSA.

True words.

Owen? Is he just commentating on the Supersport stream? 

[dev null]

Speed Company not at the level they were on previous years. I think they will fade out as the week goes on. Today will be a very tough day for the stragglers at the back.

I think it’s Owen, it sounds like Owen.

I’m watching the actual Supersport Grandstand channel 201 through ipt tv

Lol at the congestion on the trail.

[babse]

thats a serious stuff up and will delay times drastically 

 

[sias]

Are those people on the side still going up that hill while the pros are going down?

[BaGearA]

Are they really riding down the same trail people are supposed to go up ????

 

 

wtffffff

[BaGearA]

So what 

does an amateur now have to wait for 5 hours to let everyone pass down and then start ? 

 

Race officials are gona have a field day with cutoff's today
