Mudsimus Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 This team consist of 75% of the harmony team. Is Rupert gonna race all on his own?
Jason Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Looks like a pretty good team... Mud Dee I'll give Rupert my wheel... R15 per km ... Now where those 175km races.
epoh Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I would have liked to see John-Lee in there but I guess he is sorted with his Barloworld contract.
Jean-Jay Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Looks like a pretty good team... Mud Dee I'll give Rupert my wheel... R15 per km ... Now where those 175km races. Agreed - A very well structured team, John-lee isn't in there though, pity, but otherwise great!
Pieter Henning Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 John-Lee isn't U23 anymore - Once you sign with Pro Tour / Pro Continental teams you automatically become an elite. If he races SA's he'll also have to ride with the elites.
frensch Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Great & geluk- vir die ryers wat kan gaan- dis nou 'n kans om daar ver waar dit saak maak te wys dat ons SA ryers die mas kan opkom...ten spyte van al die negatiewe kommentaar.Wel - hoop Jaco Venter & Jacques van Rensburg kry later in die jaar ook die voorreg om te kan gaan.
Boonie Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Stem saam, jaco en jacques is ook baie goeie u/23 ryers, hoop hulle kry ook hulle kaans

Craven Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Wow! Nothing like throwing them in the deep end! That is going to be a whole lot of FUN FUN FUN! Anyone know more specifics? What are they doing between the races (some big gaps there) and what do they mean by 'reserves'? Those are great races! wow wow wow!!!
superman2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Ek dink mens moet nie vinger wys nie en na resuls oorsee kyk. Dit is ook waar mense soos shaun Davel al deur en deur homself bewys het en meeste van die tye top van die teams gefinish het. Verder is die hele team n goeie span en glo hulle gaan gat skop
BrandMan Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 EK verstaan ni hoe hulle vi pieter seyffert en shaun davel da kan insit ni???watse results het hulle al vajaar gehad?ni een podium ni wa jaques al ep herald gewen het en jaco 3de was op n stage in giro... mar dink al di ander is n goeie keuse Dit gaan nie net oor wie races wen nie, jy kan nie sien hoe hard die res van die ouens in n span werk sodat sy team kan wen!!
Witrot Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Wel Ridley as jy Pieter Seyffert op die Egypt toer gesien het sal jy weet hoekom hy in die span is. En hy't 'n 3de plek op 1 van die stages gekry op die toer.
superman2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Die ding is Pieter en Shaun is twee van die Hardste ouens op hulle bike's en daai twee sal hulle self twee ry om 'n team te help om 'n race te Wen vra maar net vir Wylon wat die Tour de Egypt geWen het of hy dit sou kon Wen sonder die Help van Pieter,Shaun gee daai twee 'n kaans hulle vredien om in daai u/23 Team te wees....
superman2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Ja dit is waar hulle het nog geen Podium Nie maar Pieter het al twee keer die Suid-Afrika kleure aan getrek om ons land te te teen woordig en Shaun al vyf keer en die lank's se Toer was Shaun 6 over all in die Toer so die mense wat hulle gekies het glo hulle kan die werk doen as hulle Nie self kan Wen nie is daar niemand beter om te werk in die Team as daai twee nie dit kan jy maar self vir John vra hoe Hard kan daai twee hulle self in die Rooi druk om Wylon te Help om die Egypt Toer te Wen hulle is Werklik Harde ouens op hulle bike's hou hulle twee maar net Dop.....
