Louis Meintjies at 20 a name to watch. Currently riding for Lotto Belisol u23. He can climb and TT. Been in Europe for a month and placing in every race.

Paybacks a bi$$ch Remember Bos threw Daril Impey into the barriers during the Tour of Turkey a few years ago and fractured his vertebrae so bad he was prone for months. I think he received a paltry 2 month suspension that piece of sportsmanship.

Good pick on South African Louis Meintjes (pronounced main...keys) he's currently storming up the road scene in California with a couple of other expats. Christian Kriek and Jos Le Roux. At 20 he appears to be the real deal.

The problem with this type of injury is quite often the blood flow to the head is impacted over time and you end up with a hip replacement or hip resurfacing like John-lee Augustyn or Floyd had to get. Lets hope thats not the case.

Froome has always been a good climber and the potential to be a great one. If you look back at the 2008 tour he was in the final group climbing Alp du Huez when Sastra took off. Up to now he was held back from recovery by having Bilharzia which is a parasite which feeds on red blood cells. You...

Augustyn leaving Sky About Augustyn leavin Sky, where does that rumour come from? I should imagine they would want to get their money's worth now that he is healthy. I see he is in the lineup for San Sebastian this weekend.

Augustyn is in surgery Augustyn is having his hip replaced or some similar surgery this weekend. His hip started to degrade similar to Floyd Landis's due to restricted blood supply. I remember he broke his femur in the Tour of Portugal about 4 years ago.

Impey to the shack - told ya

Explain the Hunter mistake. This guy wins at least 1 race a year and is as clean as they come!

From SA news site Hunter secures contact with a new team As Team Barloworld nears its end, the futures of the three South Africans on the team look to have been secured with all having signed or poised to conclude deals with top squads. Robbie Hunter, who has captained Barloworld for the...

Firstly the race was in Botswana not South Africa, a remote area kind of like comparing racing in Alaska to that of California or Colorado. I doubt if there was any talent in that remote area (it's in the middle of nowhere!) and double doubt any existence of Zipps of any kind.

That Universal commentator does not appear to know who most of the riders are or his facts! I think that why he focuses on Armstrong or Basso all the time. He kept on calling the one pace maker Garzelli when Garzelli was sitting 3 riders back. He also had to look up Soler's number when he...

Soler was in the front but he was involved in that crash that occurred near the front of the the peloton. He had to get a wheel from a teammate.

Come on guys, have most of you not even raced before? Theo Bos is a highly experienced top level track rider, meaning this dude can handle a bike like no other in the peloton. If you are getting squeezed, one might put on their brakes or sometimes push the rider in front of you by the behind...
