TheLegend Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 THINK BIKE! These guys were fantastic. PPA should have got them involved long ago. But some motorists just can't be helped. The bike marshal with our bunch almost got taken out from behind.The bunch was cycling inside the yellow line on the R44. Marshal was next to us on a large bike' date=' reflective vest, hazards on. Can't miss him you think.A Toyota Corolla came past at high speed and had to slam on brakes to the point of just about locking wheels to avoid rear ending the motor bike... [/quote'] must concur, these guys were awesome. Not once dit someone in our group go over the white line. As soon as it was about to happen the marshall stepped in. how? did the oke swing his leather whip? I'd prefer the second from left to be the one who punishes me!

Velouria Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 SubVet crash at the bottom of the climb Im in that mess somewhere. What a stupid thing to do. Quite surprised to see Cobus (in Maverick kit) on his bike when there is a crash - has got to be a first!
Guest colonel Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Cobus crashed at the end sprint pretty hard he was all sliced up and his bike wasnt to good either. Someone went down as a few of us kicked and it made me feel sick in my stomach listening to it.

I agree I hope the guy that went down 1st is reading this.

Someone went down as a few of us kicked and it made me feel sick in my stomach listening to it. Yeah - I heard. He has had such bad luck with this race - I think that is 3 bad crashes in 3 years now. Hope he is ok.

Hope he is ok. That was me that got taken out by Cobus in the sprint. Someone could have told me the dude was accident prone...
Guest colonel Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Ben Jammin: Glad you up and about cause I said to the people at the line "that guy must be dead who fell behind us" I didnt turn around to look either cause I dont dig that stuff!!
