Cape Agrus Cycle Tour - Break Down
Cape Agrus Cycle Tour - Break Down
I felt very bad for this guy - he must have lost 200 - 300 places as he stopped to fix a puncture. Having said that, he must have set a world record for the quickest repair ever!

In his hand you can see a can of compressed air he is using to reinflate the tyre.

SO it was like a pit stop for him
Craig Wilson | March 12, 2008 7:58AM
Exactly Navin, I am sure he would have liked a team to help him out though.

Where's his support car?!?
Craig Wilson | March 12, 2008 8:21AM
He wasn't in the pro group - only the pro cyclists had support cars. He had to fend for himself I am afraid.

Looks upset!!

Nothing worse than being totally fit, totally prepared and then having to deal with something like this to put you out of contention in an instant. I feel for him.

Very nice. Well not so nice perhaps for him.

What a bummer...nice shot though.

That's me in the photo man. It wasn't so bad at the time as punctures happened. What was bad was the third puncture I got that forced me to walk for half an hour to the next repair station as I ran out of spare tubes. Still finished in 04h05. Tough luck.

Thanks for stopping by :) If you would like a copy of the image then let me know - I have several more. I was the guy snapping away pestering you by the masque theater, not sure if you remember.

Cheers,
Craig

Nice one JD, so you finally got your fame... pity the circumstances :-) well at least it gave me the gap to beat you...
JD | March 17, 2008 8:33AM
I do remember you snapping away, it would be much appreciated if you could mail some pics. At least now my mates also believe me : ). How did you get in contact with Peter Retief?
