  1. So TRUE.... same way us postal / lance enjoyed "special treatment".... Tony Martin is sooo right here...not fair towards the rest ! When a team has a MASSIVE BUDGET I think this sort of thing happens behind the scenes.....
  2. Yip....and there team us postal comes to the fore.... was only a matter of time ! "funny" how team sky uses all the medicines legally...... not to mention their "team us postal" riding style and the fact that EVERYONE becomes flippen strong when joining their team! Anyway if they could ban Contador for meat...having twice as much of this "asthma" stuff in your body make its 2 years in my books !!! Lets see what happens.... wiggins / froome / sky staffer... whos next
  3. I would really really really like it if they could move this back to the old route near Wellington... I loved that route and the roads are very safe !!! Think it was at Nelsons Creek or somewhere... 157Km
  4. 7.2135 km to be exact...
  5. Hi, Im stuck at work and don't have time to read through this but can anyone conform if it will be the full 170km again or the old 163km ??? Also what does the wind prediction say? See you all on Sunday chaps!!
  6. Hi all, I want to pull the trigger on a 330... I have one concern if anybody would PLEASE tell me if its got this feature. I want the gradient... when I train climbs I need to know how steep they are ... I know the 530 can do this but think the 330 doesn't have this feature... please would someone tell me if its got this? I want to buy and this is one of my MOST important features.
  7. Hi All, We are a team based in Cape town and looking to achieve a good time of 06:00 - 06:30 in the event. We are looking for a corporate sponsor for our kits (advertise your brand with us). I'm sure there will be a corporate brand looking for a team to sponsor. Entry fees have been paid so if we only get a sponsor for the kit it would be money well spend ! Our target for a sponsor is in the region of R12 000 - R 20 000. Hoping we can make someone proud!
  8. Yup... too many stories to back up the "super teams rise to fame"... sounds a lot like team postal to me ! For me it was soooo dodgy to let Cavendish go (team was build around them) then all of a sudden they began winning grand tours with track riders and no climbers...eish I should have taken my vitamins ....
  9. CRC is always a winner !!! I have tried others but non like them !
  10. I didn't read through everything but as far as a Refund goes... the organisers "did the work" they were suppose to setup the race so due to mother nature they cant be blamed. They cant undo the last years work so I feel sorry to them also. Good call to cancel ! And a very good suggestion here to give us that entered "first option" for next year... hope it happens though ! Sorry that we couldn't do it this year and sorry for all those that have a sub 3 in their legs and you wont get a chance to show it but im sure hard work gets rewarded some whow...keep up the training and before you know we are all back riding this thing (hopefully in December and not March)
  11. I think they should move the race to another month (not sure when) but everytime I do the CTCT it ends up raining or windy. Just feels to me that something needs to be done...my only concern is I think it will have to be replaced by "something" in March as this could leave a big long stretch without big event. If I was in charge I would have moved CTCT earlier (say December) and moved the Stellenbosch and DC later to say End January and February. This way you'll have nice long sunny days to train for DC and when starting the CTCT we can start earlier as sunlight would be in our favour in December. Then ill have a few PPA races / leagues going into April at least.
  12. Alberto is a true champ !!! When he is gone I don't think ill watch a lot of cycling... he will be surely missed ! To race like that on "that level" is something special and ill always remember he's fighting spirit !!! As Dale says "what a racer" !!! Respeto !!!
  13. This bike looks really clean... like it !
  14. my word...im no weather expert but I think well be kite surfing this sunday...
