Grapkas Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Well done Robbie! I heard he got a R1 000 000.00 incentive from Barloworld for winning the stage!!
Chrispy Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 What a day for cycling in SA!!! I have been following cycling since I was 8 years old ( a long,long time ago). Yesterday was the day SA cycling was introduced on to the world stage. Check the difference this is going to make in normal people's attitude towards cycling in SA. Well done Robbie.

Grapkas Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Absolutely, and i'm so glad it made the front page of the newspaper!!!! FANTASTIC
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 After having spent the past 15 years as a cycling journalist (the first seven of those in newspapers), I'd say that Hunter's success has been given very good exposure by the general media. Radio stations led their news with it last night and this morning (some preferring it over the British Open as the lead story). Remember that websites have to update their content continuously, but newspapers have one, sometimes two, bites in 24 hours. I'm very impressed with The Times' coverage of the Tour de France. It's a free daily newspaper produced by The Sunday Times crowd. Virtually a page a day on Le Tour. Today's back page is a pic and story of Hunter's win - that's it! No rugby, or cricket or soccer or golf! Just cycling! Never thought I see the day...
pastapouch Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 ya, can't say all weren't covering it, but those who didn't cover this ....where do one get 'The Times'? Heard of it, but I've never seen it.
Tumbleweed Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 it's a free paper that is delivered to subscribers at the moment. if advertising spend comes in, it may go on general sale. as an aside, the chief photog, thys dullaart, is a mate of mine. i sold him his first mtb about 10 months back, now he's 10 times faster than me (who isn't?). he came first over the 35km walkerville route
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I get The Times because I subscribe to The Sunday Times. However, I see you can phone this number 0860 525200 to get added to the delivery list. It's a great little paper. Enough to keep you informed, but not too much to depress you! They also seem to use positive stories very well, which makes a refreshing change!
nellie Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Man he was soooo awesome!!! I was sitting on the spin bike in front of the TV for the last 60kms of the race. Flip...he was concentrating the whole time staying on Boonens wheel the whole time not giving any chance for error or mistakes! And that sprint was just absolutely magical! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROBBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh...and i'm also in for the Robbie for avatar thing!
nellie Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 whatever little person from micronesia...i like it so just shut up and bear it
fandacious Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Oh...and i'm also in for the Robbie for avatar thing! More and more of the female hubbers seem to have had a sex change today
Mudsimus Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 Oh...and i'm also in for the Robbie for avatar thing! More and more of the female hubbers seem to have had a sex change today And I somehow gained 15kg's of pure power! And turned into a blonde..
