Newboy Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Point is RH is the best SA cyclist currently. Proven again on Sunday. South Africans just do not like anybody to be too successful.
TitusTi Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Actually Greg Minnar is the most succesful South African cyclist currently, the road boys are really gonna have to step up their game to compete with him as far as accolades go.

Guest colonel Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 And Greg haulls the frign mail on a MX bike aswell I rode with him in Durban in 2003 and he hauls.
101% Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 When a guy like Armstrong climbed a real climb in the TDF where the mountain is filled with round a half million spectators screaming abuse at him, you never saw him turn around and give a spectator the finger.Its called being a profesional!!! What if a Barloworld CEO was watching the coverage, seeing an employee being distracted by a spectator and swearing on national TV ?????not to good for the Brand!!!Â
javadude Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Â Point is RH is the best SA cyclist currently. Proven again on Sunday. South Africans just do not like anybody to be too successful. Â Thats BS. You haven't heard a single bad thing about Greg Minnaar on these forums, and he's the only South African to ever wear a rainbow jersey.Â

MintSauce Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Point is RH is the best SA cyclist currently. Proven again on Sunday. South Africans just do not like anybody to be too successful.  Greg is the 2nd most succesful DH racer of all time, winning by far more world championship medals than anyone except the legendary Nicholas Vouiloz. WE LOVE THE FACT THAT HE IS SUCCESFUL!!! He's also regarded as one of the most approachable pros on the circuit. I've read countless interviews and i can't remember how many times it's been said what a genuinely nice guy he is. Maybe we don't say bad things about him because there just aren't bad things to say about him? No temper tantrums, no bitching, no complaining! When he doesn't perform, he always takes the blame, saying that he made this or that mistake, that his bike and team were flawless and in the same breath compliments the guy who beat him on an excellent performance. The same guys that he sometimes beats the socks off of on another weekend. Never ever an excuse! Never ever a bad thing about ANYONE!!! Oh....wait a minute! There is one man who had a problem with Greg a few years back. It was Robbie Hunter! He's dug his own hole!

Guest colonel Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I will agree as someone who doesnt even race MX he was jumping some big tables and gaps!

My roots are bmx from the eighties, so much respect from me. I still do wheelies and tabletops when i sleep at night.Â
