Token Posted November 29, 2006 Share would you want to sponsor a team that take 5 riders vs 1(who had been in a 4man break for 30km) to a finish line and still loose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted November 29, 2006 Share Yeah but lets be honest here, that one rider is pretty special! And it was 4 on 1. And they had all been in a break since Hels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkey Posted November 29, 2006 Share is Hannachi in a class of his own or did RK underestimate him..... or both?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted November 29, 2006 Share Hannachi really is in a class of his own, he can climb and sprint! In fact last year at Killarney I saw him win a spint where he led himself out from before the bottom turn, on his wheel (I can't remember the exact order) were: David George, Darren Lill, Moolman, Lourens, and he still rode away from them. He really should just bugger off overseas, if he stays here then he's wasting his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted November 29, 2006 Share No team should loose from that advantage.....no matter what.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted November 29, 2006 Share TitusTI only Hannachi, Craig, Will and Luthando had been in the break,   it was after Craig and Will punchured 10km from the end at the same time did it come back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted November 29, 2006 Share I know exactly what heppened. They went over the hill with a 31 second gap to us (4 RK's, Leo and myself), the gap stayed exactly the same (31 seconds) until the punctures happened. I know the RK boys were working hard because they had been attacking me since the base of Hels. I just don't have legs like Hannachi though. Then after the double puncturing they caught and started attacking Hannachi, it's not like they did nothing until they caught, we were all giving it stick.

Token Posted November 29, 2006 Share Yip i know what you saying, but you got to agree with the fact that 4 on 1 and not come close to winning is a huge mess up. would you want to sponsor that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']  I think you missing the point here token... they still got 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th on the day... I think in terms of sponsorship value that has to be equal to a 1st at least. If not for Hanachi they may have gotten 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th... they were clearly the strongest team on the day, the other teams only managed to get 1 rider into the final move... they got 4. Unluckily for them Hanachi is like a one man team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
