Breeze Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I have just received a message from Barry in Malaysia to say that Jaco Venter went in a 3-man breakaway and took the first points and KOM point. With 50km to go to the line, they had 3 minutes lead and JACO WILL BE WEARING THE KOM JERSEY AFTER DAY 1!!!!!!
Chrispy Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Live update http://www.ltdl.com.my/ South Africa now leads the bunch.All together after 106km Barry as usual doing excellent work?
snah2 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 He was 3rd in hotspot no 3 as well after winning no 1.No feedback on hotspot 2. Wonder if there are time bonuses tied to the hotpots?!
Racing Hart Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 This is superb! Now that is so much better than last years performance after stage 1. Keep it up!
fandacious Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 what? I thought we only had 2 SA men who could compete internationally?
TNT1 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Can we get Barry and these guys to give our ladies team a few pointers on how to do it right?
AuctionLamb Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 that is how i like it.....men talk with their legs....no excuses...go there and do what you suppose to do!
Austin Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 its only stage 1, so much can still happen. BUt the guys are really riding out of their skin! All in every move that goes up the road and if the bunch relaxes it is not long before I saw a RSA rider attacking. Jaco was amazing today forcing every little move up the road untill that one went and he got the KOM jersey. Ian is great with the youngsters! Christoff, Nolan and Jacques were in the finale and got Nolan onto the Diquigiovanni train. Superb group of riders here!We will keep trying our best, that all I can say Austin2009-02-09 07:11:24
