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.

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...

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?LOL). he came first over the 35km walkerville route

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!
