Rooijakkers is pretty common. Not nearly as common as De Vries, de Jong, Janssen, Van der Berg and Bakker though

Rooijakkers isn't common at all, I assume she's Piet's sister or something.

I should correct myself, in some parts of the country it's a pretty common surname, really... I know at least a dozen of them, half not related

Did Durbridge change bikes mid-race?

The second photo is Hepburn after he binned his Green Edge.

Looks a bit like Menchov's "Fuji" ?

Durbridge/Hepburn's team Jayco-AIS is sponsored by Bianchi - however they only get the Sempre bike, not the top of the line Bianchi. They've ridden Cervelo P3's in TT's this year (often without decals) so presumably as a U/23 team Bianchi's sponsorship didn't stretch to TT bikes as well. GE are listed as a sponsor of Jayco-AIS so obviously they've pushed down the Scott Plasma frames to the U/23 riders as the Plasma's presumable Cervelo technological competitor would be the P4 rather than the P3.

Personally I'd think given Durbridge/Hepburns heavy track programs next year with WC and Olympics they'd be better off staying at Jayco-AIS, but it wouldn't surprise to see them announced to GE as widely rumoured.

That's what I thought too, the riders look different too.

Glad we're consider a cycling power now. It's surprising, considered all this a "golden age" but the fact we still have 2-3 riders coming up who are talented (like Norris, Hepburn, Durbridge) seems to indicate that we're now at a new level. Maybe it'lll recede a bit but the effects of all the racing right now can only be positive for the future.

So Hepburn put on a pair of gloves after the crash then?

Or perhaps the bottom pic is of Damien Howson.

 

[Ferminal]

Yeh I guess it is Howson then, I don't remember what bike he used.

Not big enough to be Durbridge.

 

[Tuarts]

Ah yeah of course Howson. He was pulling that face everytime they put the camera's on him

Congrats to Jess as well.

Dennis as well. Scott Law also seems good for the future.
