I had to laugh at Grootlem on facebook last night when he said that Gerald needed a strepsil and he was on standby to take over

Did anyone watch that poor oke on Super Cycling last night.Surely someone else should have taken over?

Yeah but 1 hr on S2C without even any riding.......was as much a strain as Geralds voice

Have to say as enthusiastic as I am about the sport - 1 hour on Sani2C  (without any riding) is a bit boring...

I didn't watch it, but perhaps he thinks he has become the Ryan Seacrest of S.A. cycling.
Do we ever reach the limit of our abilities ?

I think StupidSport have lost it. This feature on the Sani2C was nothing more than a documentary giving free publicity to a whole array of businesses and charities hosted by a guy who really should have been nowhere near a mic.

It's so typical of the contempt that we, as monthly subscribers, are held in by DSTV.

Thanks goodness for streaming video of cycling.
Nothing better than taking the mickey with someone who makes dumb and dumber look like a pair of geniuses.

Morning,
I felt sorry for Gerald, but was it a cold or was it from a few too many shooters the night before with farmer Glen?
I would like to see what the "boys" are riding and not only in this Sani2C. Possibly the frames, G/Sets, rims, tyres, gell/no gell etc.
Have a great day gents,
Sarge

Even last night was bad as well, they could have got someone else to do the talk overs, who comes up with that terrible script as well.?

First time anyone here has ever said that!
There is evil! It's actual, like cement... I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.Posted Image

I was more referring to learing about the history of the Sani, not the presenting, that was car crash television as usual.

Yep, he does. Met him while he was looking for my bike mechanic at Sani a few years ago. Was in a team with his wife. He is a great guy to chat to.
I love to ride fast. That is why I hate uphills.
