Seepglad Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Nice and quiet - one would swear the world is racing on Sunday...kom kyk more, vanaf elfuur op die Paarl Berg.
NeverEnder Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Great event! Well done to all concerned - and a special thanks for the great traffic marshaling We need more of these events to put some excitement and a real challenge back in road cycling for the enthusiastic amateur as well as the pro cyclist That last Cat1 stage was brutal & what a performance from Darren Lill!
MTB_Roadie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Darren is a favourtie of mine to win the Argus
NeverEnder Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Argus will not suite Darren Lill. Its too flat & too short - its a sprinters race. Christoph van Heerden has a better chance. Â But Darren is a monster at the moment. He rode away from a group of 6-8 of the strongest riders including Sauser on a VERY difficult course with one lap to go and just extended his lead over the final lap.

'Dale Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Tipping Mr Fouche as my favourite to win the ArgusMe think SA Champ 2011 Darren Lill wants this season-ending big prize, for sure. He kicked some major azzz today, I read.

Tiny K Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Was awesome to be there and see the action unfold from the lead vehicle. See pics attached:Â 1. An early Break by Impey - Got caught a little later.2: Lil in the lead - at the end his race time lead was at around 30 seconds Edited March 17, 2011 by SirK
Seepglad Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks Sir K, the only TdB volunteer off the Hub, and you did work hard. Deserved that spot on the final day!
