They have a couple younger guys... The Van Heerdens.
That's what I wanted to say I had a problem between Vanse Rensburg or something like that and Van Heerden.  |

The Van Heerden's suck. South Africa have so much better riders. Tiaan Kannemeyer for example.

David George, Malcolm Lange, Van Rensburg*2, Rabie, ...
They have not the level for the world championships but they aren't so crappy.  Well some of them are at least better than Svein Erik Voldt and Stian Remme : L
Or the Luxemburg dudes |

Remme is superman, Ruben. Shut up, he will ride for a PT-team next year, i promise, and is a better climber than you think. It is petty that his result the last time have been ruined by sickness.

Remme's results isn't exactly impressive, best results so far this season:
Ringerike GP, Stage 5: 1
Rhône-Alpes Isère Tour: GC: 7
Tour de Normandie: GC: 8

Bill Stapleton thinking .. Giro and TOC is in the same time..Giro is nice race. But americans will like to see us..so TOC...he has a logic.
But how you even can compare these two races..probably he dont know that there is small spanish ProTour village race also at the same time..
Aah who cares..
They need protour license because it is quarantee for TdF ticket..wrong again..protour license is not GT ticket..
Lance is..!

Not anything about their riding but I helped put on Superweek which is a decent size 3 week race in the mid-west in the U.S. and MTN got an appearance fee (Paid to be there) and so the Van Heerden's were there along with Jay Thompson (Who shit on everyone in every race he wanted to for the most part) and the Van Heerden's were cool guys, the whole team was pretty good guys, they always wanted to party too lol kept askin' us to join em.
Just my two cents / short story
Thanks

Yea, that is sweet you got to work it. I decided not to go this year, only live about 2 hours away in Iowa. "Stupid" week as it should be called in the lower cats. All the guys thinking they should be top level pros anc can't bike handle. I almost DIED...yes DIED at least 4 times in 8 races last summer But to see those guys this year would have been sweet!!!! |

Oh the event itself was horrid to work, the organizers, mike and andy garrison, are sooo stingy with their money they wouldn't even buy us water on a couple of occasions and we slept like 3hrs a night sometimes, so even if we were in the Crown Plaza we were never there long lol.
And yeah i raced there too and it was decent racing this year anyway as long as you could stay in the front most of the time, i stayed upright even at Evanston which was nice lol.
Did you maybe do Quad Cities? I worked there too and got to race all but Melon Cities and those were some pretty neat races i thought.

Yea, last year, one of the days that I got money, the check came back bounced, and I never was reimbursed. If it would have been a lot I would have taken them to claims, but only like 40$.
I raced the Cat 3's at Memorial Day Weekend. Got 12th in the RR, 1st at Snake Alley, 6th at Melon City and like 11th at Rock Island. What did you do? Race for who? |

Oh Damn! I know who you are! hahaha. Carson right? Yeah i dunno if you remember me we probably only spoke a few times but i think you know my good buddy Devin, who races for Savage Hill (Shorter kid who rides a felt and an orange and black kit)
My name's Ian and i race for One Cal Now (All White and Yellow Kit mostly and i ride an '10 BMC Race Master) which is a decent sized junior team here in Ohio, i did the 3/4 at burlington and the Junior events at the others, didn't do great cause i was working so pretty tired but fun races for sure.
That's interesting I always figured i'd meet someone i knew in real life on here heh

Haha alright, yea I know Devin. I believe I remember you as well! Its a great set up, I am sure that sucks working and then trying to race. The junior fields are really strong there. |

Arrrghhhhhhhhhhh
You know what?! We are gonna to Claus Michael Moller you next year and win Post Danmark Rundt with Tiago Machado in revenge!!
HUH?! 
Moller rode in Portugal for many many years, and as such rode the Volta many times
Yes I know that, it's just the sentence seems a bit incomplete and I have a hard time understanding it. But Machado is way to young, and way to not linked to drugs to do a Claus Michael Møller
What I meant with the Claus Michael Mollering idea was that we portuguese would somehow sneak one of our riders into a Danish team so he could participate in the Tour of Denmark and and beat you danish in the UCI Country Rankings
Just like you sneaked Moller in Milaneza-MSS to win the Tour of Portugal
