In the Bunch show – Racing Tour de France on the threshold

July 20, 2018, 3:04 pm By In the Bunch

Watch directly on Youtube

 

In episode 18 of the In the Bunch show we talk to South African sports scientist Ross Tucker about his views on the controversial closing of Chris Froome’s salbutamol case on the eve of the Tour de France.

We also interview South Africa’s Jay Thomson about making his debut at the Tour after being notified of his inclusion a week before the grand depart.

Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio made history by becoming the first African to podium in a Grand Tour at the Giro Rosa and we were there to get her thoughts on the achievement.

We discuss young Rickardo Broxham’s victory at the Junior Tour of Ireland and Paralympian Goldy Fuchs’ self-funding trip to Europe en route to the world championships in Italy.

New Cycling South Africa president Yster Xatasi tells us about his transformation plans for the federation and we report on the UCI’s official go-ahead to use disc brakes on road bikes from July 1 this year.

After that, we travel to the Knysna Cycle Tour and the national marathon mountain bike champs before heading to the Lowveld for the Jock Classic.

We review the Westfalia bike rack system before looking at the shocking wire booby trap erected on a Cape Town mountain biking trail.

And, as the world’s fastest cycling show comes down to the proverbial wire, we report on the “burning” bush Wimpie Sanders saw en route to setting a new record in the 1000 Miler.
