[Witrot]

Uhhh. There is a lot more young riders that has proven themselves over years and this last year that they are worth it to be in such a team. But how could i forget. The poor other countries just need to get better chance by wasting us and seems if we forgot how to ride a bike!!

[Craven]

Indeed Witrot. Putting it that way I should really not complain. All the easier for me..

[MEYER]

EK HOOP JR IS HULLE MANAGER

[pedal]

I heard a rumor that Cape Town WILL come to a halt, whilst roads are closed for this event......... Lets wait and see.

[Groot Lem]

Craven, surely you cant ride....dont you compete in A worlds?

Another silver in TT??

[City Cycling Athletic Club]

Even though it is B worlds i think we are going to witness some serious cycling. re the road race , there are 76 countries riding so there should only be one big bunch, and with a rolling road closure , i can't see it being a problem

[Craven]

I competed in the u23 World Champs two years ago. Am not allowed to start in the Elite champs cause Nam is rock bottom on the rankings (although I am allowed to do the Elite TT for some or other reason..).

Silver would be rather nice. haha

 

[mallo]

Good day all

 

Butafly people such as yourself must first read a post properly before commenting I made it clear I am against quota selection systems. Yes we have volunteers heading the current Development section.

 

 

 

Why has CSA not taken the proper route of making this a full time job as yet? It is simple and easy to tell the Lotto board what you are doing for transformation and development yet you have no prove whatsoever as to an end result. Use the money correctly and we all will gain in the sport and look forward to having another notch filled without any suspicion raised( Case in point Sifiso Nhlapo BMX champion).

 

 

 

As a matter of interest "Andrew McClean can take a young rider and a road wise rider(persons of colour) under his wing for two months and have them achieve remarkable

 

results at a tour thereafter what have they achieved back at their clubs.What is the club actually doing to promote this youngsters and develop them properly.Does this not tell us something.Has CSA taken note of this and thought of asking Andrew how he has done it? ( THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION NOTHING TO DO WITH ANDREW, HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW ME.

[Chrispy]

There is hope

[butafly]

Good day all

Butafly people such as yourself

meaning..........what.  you contradict yourself. "the team should be representative of the country" in political (ANC) language that means so many ethnic blacks MUST be in the team.......like i said "please correct me if i'm wrong"  

[mallo]

Chrispy my plea to these youngsters managers/coaches is please keep them going in this direction even when the times become tough and when they make the conversion from juniors to the seniors as this is where they are lost in that first season because they cannot produce results instantly and we become impatient with them.

 

Now the scenario: If Csa had it own academy these youngsters could be drawn in and worked with in all aspects from nutrition through to physical testing and tweaking correctly to build them into future champs competing on a level playing field.

[20 Cent]

Good point Mallo, but theres nothing you can do about other people's stubbornness. ZippIt, thanks for clarifying to these moron's what the champs are about. it would have been good if they went to the UCI website and read about the champs before they made comments while clueless.

 

PEET, I think you suck!!!!!

[Cherry]

Hey Dudes and Dudetts...

 

Its quite simple why they have selected the riders that they have!

 

In order to compete at the B-grade World Champs you cannot have any UCI points on 1 January 2007. If you do like 90% of us, its a NO, NO - thus it illiminates all your top riders.

 

 

[gianni]

SA are in due to a special dispensation.

 

As Cheery said:  Read the Manual
