The Pirate Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 So who was clever enough to spot the yellow jersey holder and stage winner in the TdF at this years race ? I'll give you a clue ....
splat Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Linus!! He is a lot bigger than I thought we would be. He didn't say 'Hi' back though.
The Pirate Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 Linus!! ? He is a lot bigger than I thought we would be. ? He didn't say 'Hi' back? though. Funny, I spoke to him on the road and afterwards and took a nice picture with him. He seemed very friendly and said they were staying in Camps Bay. O yes, he also said it was a bit hot but a very good TRAINING ride
no calves Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 he is soooooooo nice! talked to him on tradouw pass and in bonivale.
splat Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I saw him at the Bonnievale water stop where no one was particularly cheerful.
The Pirate Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 He also talked on his Black Berry going up Oude Tradouw Pass and it looked like he sent a sms or twitter message while climbing as well.
The Pirate Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 I saw him at the Bonnievale water stop where no one was particularly cheerful. Well it was close to 40 degrees at that stage and I don't think anyone was enjoying it It is now the 3rd race in the Cape that I have done were I rode next to a TdF yellow jersey rider, you guys are very lucky to have them there. We never see anyone up here in the Gangster's Paradise, he says the traffic is to bad in Pta and JHB.

I'll give you a clue .... Cool stuff. Was this pic taken at least year's event? ha ha My wife took this picture from the kombi on a friends small kodac camera. I also noticed the date was wrong but the answer is NO, it was taken on Saturday morning at around 9 AM Last year we had one of the Astana riders at the race.
TiBones Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I feel so........ Mountain Biker! Who is dis fella?
Woofie Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 What do you think he is doing here? Is he here on holiday and did the race? Or is he living here now?
epoh Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Was he on someone's team or just riding a long?
The Pirate Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 I think he was riding with a German team that came to do the race. They had dark blue and white clothes on. He did not enter and did not have a chip on. He jumped in after about 2 km into the race at the top of the first drag out of town, that's where I saw him the first time standing alone next to the road. I think he is here to maybe do some nice base training. He said to me he wasn't happy with his position in this year's Tour so he might start his prep a bit earlier for next year
Bike Mob Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 We were also very lucky to have his Milram team Mate on our TEAM! Gerald Ciolek - Rode with us for Swift Cosmetek. Nice guy, very quiet... just gets on with it.
