So I see that SA got 11th place in the team cross country relay!! The junior womens xc got under way at 8pm SA time...does anyone know where to find live results/feed from the various events?

I did not do the calculation but estimate SA would have been top 5 if the Women rider´s time is excluded.

Bright future for SA mtb´íng


Note: I am not bashing Yolande, she is highly rated imo

I am not sure what happened with Yolande's lap but she did seem to be the slowest rider. Perhaps a mechanical/crash. But other than that the future of South African cycling is looking very very bright!!! And beating the Aussies is a bonus too!!

Lets hope after last weeks flat that Burry has seen the end of his bad luck for the weekend and gets to wear the RAinbow jersey. Goodluck to all our riders.

its got nothing to do with bad luck... put some decent tires on - couple of grams extra, but at least finish the race. it is not the first time this has happened. he is good enough to ride with that "weight".

Ask Greg and Steve questions:

http://freecaster.tv/live/mtb/1012893
"Sliding into an off-camber, eroded turn you make a micro miscalculation. Out of control, you must make a rapid decision, off the edge, or lay it down. Lay it down...damn..torn shirt, bloody elbow. No time to mess with that now (the shirt was old, so was the elbow), how's the bike? Okay...jump on it and feed the chain back on with your hand as you coast the first few yards. Back in gear you really stand on it to make up time."
