Robbie Hunter, a rider in Team Barlow, has won todays stage - stage eleven - in the Tour de France. Niether he nor they are in the top ten in the general classification, but Team Barlow have now won two or even three stages of Le Tour.

A 'wildcard entry' - the Tour do not accept just anyone - this is Team Barlow's first attempt and they are having quote; 'A dream first Tour.'

Perhaps I forgot to mention - Team Barlow are a South African Team. Got your attention now? :)

Roger, our news media is quite hyped about the Team Barlowworld, and I'm sure Robbie Hunter will return here to a hero's welcome. :)

Cycling is a very popular hobby here, and racing has been a popular sport for many years, but two decades of sporting isolation took its toll, and we're only now starting to become competitive internationally.

I'd rather driver my landy than ride a bike.

Those two big holes in my chest explain why you don't want to ride pushbikes on African roads...
