eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Give the organisers some credit we live in south africa The worst of all excuses.
eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Nah, it was the organisers not being able to stop the taxi's from driving through... wasnt aimed at Tour - just one of those things from bad planning Which illustrates the intent of the Taxis???
tombeej Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Give the organisers some credit we live in south africa Wasn't a key objective of this tour to help put SA on the world cycling map? Also, I'm sure there are some barely healed wounds from SA's in PE, and now this palava. Fair enough, we should wait to hear from the tour organisers what forced them to stop the stage... now three times. In the mean time, Phil's question still needs to be answered: "How could the organisers not have managed to keep the roads open through Sandton - after all, they do it perfectly every year with the 94.7?"

Well, we're probably on the map now - just not in a good way.
EigerSA Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 wasn't intentional from the taxi's point of view, first question would have to be just how much preparation was made along the route, were the people along the route including the taxi associations informed and/or included? 12:25, just just stopped again, 3rd time - this is the organisers fault entirely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jwagga Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 The organisers can't organise a pissup in a brewery
minjin Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 they should just calll it a neutral day and cancel this. If i was one of those riders I would refuse to contnue now, very very disappointing

Its rolling road closure so they should be delayed by less than a robot not working.
Rodney M Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 very very poor - a world class African city? - this is not what we need
