Fun rider Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 Post from Team Manager on skype."juniors make even more history. team of eight currently in Spain at Vuelta al Besaya, a UCI 2.1 tour. Rode very aggressive and took all 3 podium positions including the KOM jersey. Team manager Austin said - they caught them off guard and a move went clear early - they bunch relaxed as they knew the climb towards the end will still sort things out - but player right into our hands. Top 3 - in a jnr ranked tour is not too shabby at all. 1st Johann van Zyl, 2nd Christopher Jennings, 3rd Shaun-Nick Bester and Jennings in the KOM jersey. "
Pieter Henning Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Looks like some nice time gaps. Van Zyl 44 seconds ahead of 4th place on GC if I read the results right. Are there any time trials in this tour? Battling a bit with my internet connection, so couldn't manage to get on to the UCI calender to check the stages.
Chrispy Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Whoweeeeeee!!!!Way to go boytjies.Barry you are the man. Look after those boys, they will make us all proud.

Pieter Henning Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 No TT's, so the boys have a very good chance of maintaining the lead in this tour. Good luck!!!
Sean Badenhorst Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Damn! That's a fine result! Well done guys. Well done Barry. Your plan is paying off! All the best for the rest of the tour.

Breeze Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Well - another motivation behind it all seems to be that the organizers use the same podium girls as in the Vuelta Espana
snah2 Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 OUCH..It is obvious from stage 2 results that the Spanish riders did not take kindly to the SA riders dominating in the first stage.... It looks like a slaughterhouse out there,exept fot Shawn-Nick Bester who survived the mayhem. You go boytjie!!!
Chrispy Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Disaster strikes in Stage 2 as 3 of the SA riders picked up a stomach bug during the night and to make matters worse they were also involved in a fall. As Johann states:"From Yellow to Zero". Hope that they recovered enough to defend the Yellow yersey Shawn-Nick Bester today. Chrispy2009-06-19 23:18:09
Pieter Henning Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Shaun-nick Bester maintains the lead today after finishing 8th on the stage. One stage to go for him to be the overall winner. Let's hope they can pull this off.
