Marathon World Champs incentives for SA riders

NICE!!

In the Elite race..... ummm i dont think i qualify for that one.
 

Nice way for them to try get people like the top pro's of SA to compete and not pay the full price for them!!! (If i read correctly, they are only sponsoring Max Knox to go) Just the flight is more costly than the top award.

I'm sure the riders' sponsors are willing to pay way more for that results if they compete in their sponsored jerseys. 

so how much does a plane ticket cost to Italy?

their cash is safe, not even the SA 'team' will make top 25

That's a joke

breaking news: In celebration of the first 'African team' at the TdF, CSA is to offer R15000 to any South African that finishes on the overall podium.

you know what it all fairness it is a step in the right direction. but peanuts in comparison to what other sporting federations throw around.

to be frank I would rather they send double the number of South African Representatives than carrot dangling like this

why not make it a million ZARS for podium...sounds better

Or a 3 night stay in Nkandla.

Jokes aside, this is great, and it is the direction where things need to be going. When I was a laaitie in High School, there was nothing like this. Now the school kids can see that this whole bicycle malarkey is not bad, and they can dream about a career in cycling with way better prospects than I had. 

This type of thinking is what we need to keep the hope alive, and it WILL have an impact on the next generation. 

At the  95 Rugby World Cup the SA guys were playing for peanuts. 20 years later and it is a viable career. 

In 20 years if a Saffa wins a worlds marathon champ, remember what PhilipV wrote here. 

PS: Don't forget Greg Minnaar's achievements. 

Going to be a interesting race tomorrow for both the men and ladies. Some info:

Man, CS's Stumpjumper looks like a go-fast bike. Sweet as. I really hope he wins in what they call his last pro race?

And Gunn Rita Dahle is new woman's WC, nice one[emoji122] [emoji122]

LAKATA still leads the men's race

Langvad takes silver 3min down. . Think there is a huge gap to 3e.

Le prime ragazze sono già arrivate al traguardo!

1. Dahle Rita 3:34.13,6

2. Langvad Annika 3:37.31,8

3. Sabine Spiz 3:43.43,2

Great performance be the more 'mature' ladies, 2 of the top 3 in their 40's..[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji322]

9km to go and Lakata still leads.. go Alban go

Nice one Lakata

Nice one Lakata

Just kidding, it's a bike race and the best on the day won. Congrats to him for it. Susi did well to get second and does end his career on a high note.
