CS DYNAMO 4 UP BIKNMOTION BREAK COURSE RECORD

A hard fought 4 up to-day. It became obvious early on that this was a two horse race as certini and Biknmotion posted the fastest half way times.

Early in the race Certini lost one rider Chris Scott who has been suffering with a cold this week. This left over twenty miles with just three riders.

G Lackford - Tor 2000
J Smith
R Willcocks

Bikinmotion though were unbeatable setting a breathaking 55 on a hilly course.

Lackford did suit Orange and black though????

ROCKBEARE HILL ROAD RACE

Alex Fitzgerald pictured

The Rockbeare hill awaited the field this evening with 5 laps of what turned out to be a viciously fast and unforgiving course suiting all types of rider. Inevitably Marcin Bialoblocki was marked out as a potential threat and when Willcocks and Lackford Certini and Tor 2000 escaped the chase from Bialoblocki was awaited.

Bialoblocki did try numerous times butwas unable to shake off his markers and sat up. However, there other riders who were willing to chase including Guy Wilkins and Alex Fitzgerald and on the last time up the hill managed to slip the nets of the bunch and finished 1st and 2nd with Bialoblocki in third.

Great racing.....

SA cyclist Cox loses fight for his life

SA cyclist Cox loses fight for his life

Posted on 01 August 2007 - 07:40

Ryan Cox, one of South Africa's top cyclists, lost the fight for his life in a Gauteng hospital early on Wednesday morning after the main artery in his left leg burst on Tuesday.
The SuperSport Zone wishes to express its sincere condolences to his family and friends. Ryan was one of the first people to work with SuperCycling when the Zone first appeared in 1999.

Cox had recently undergone surgery in France after South Africa's Tour de France ace, Robert Hunter, had lent him the money for the operation.

Clint Curtis, who coached the Barloworld rider when he was a junior, said on Tuesday Cox had been having problems with his left leg for some time.

"He sometimes lost the feeling in the leg after cycling and had little power in the leg towards the end of some races.

"Ryan then went to see one of the leading doctors in France. It was found that the artery had, as a consequence of all the cycling, become knotted as sometimes happens to a garden hose.

"It often happens to cyclists because they spend so many hours on the bicycles, with their legs bent while pedalling.

"The doctor in France has performed surgery of this type on about 600 cyclists, among them Stuart O'Grady, who has worn the yellow jersey in the Tour de France."
