PPA League Launch

[Chrispy]

Im just full of sh*t cause I dont like PPA telling commisaires how to run a race.

 

It is time the officials show they have the balls to tell PPA that the Officials are in charge and not the PPA. Funny that the officials are very hardegat with the riders but become mere whimps when PPA tells them what to do.

Groot Lem, online renewals with CSA wow - now we talking straight into the 21 century!!!! Yipy.

 

 

 

Do you know why we have to tell the Commisaires what to do? And it is not necessary anyone fault be it PPA or Comms. But Safty always has to come 1st.

 

 

 

As you no I go to Holland quite often - Their the road uses have a culture with regrds to bike, as a motorist you hit a cyclist it is the motorist fault regardless of what the cyclist was doing. The UCI rules come from a European basis and the SA motorist is not educated in this manner if at all. I still to this day do not think in the learners manual their is even one referance to cyclist or bike on the road and their rights or how they shoud be respected.

 

 

 

Back to Europe where the UCI rules work they harly ever have road race "classics" it to dangerous we are still very lucky in SA to get road permision to hold road races - in Europe it is now mostly closed circuit crits, and these cannot catter for the masses the way PPA catter for the masses. The SA dynamics are completely diffrent to the European dynamics and unfortunatly our comm's are trained according to the Europen dynamics and this is just not safe on SA roads.

 

 

 

Must a rider be killed before the white line is regarded as the end on the road? As for rolling road closure if it were possible at PPA funride - which it is not. Is this safe - I do not think so! We have this at the Giro and look what happenend to Will Roberson - head on accident with a truck this year. A few years ago at SA road champs in Welkom I almost had the same thing happen to me, we were on the start finish road on the far right cutter and I almost connected a car which was not fully off the road - I stopped racing at that point and am happly still alive!

 

 

 

Think about it - Please

at this late stage and when will PPA notify all involved?

[Cocaine]

Yeah he hasn't hit a truck before... was on the decent of hels... think one of the european guys might have hit a truck in one of the stages of the giro this year if I'm not mistaken...
