    This year’s Cape Town Cycle Tour, the 40th edition of the world’s largest cycle race, was marred by tragedy.

    Two riders died during the race, as well as a Rotary marshal who was admitted to hospital, and news of their passing was met with an outpouring of grief.

    “He made me want to cycle very fast and very far away. Laughing all the way.” – Emma Smith Staines

    Well played, Mr Cope. As long as nothing untoward pops out the side of that mankini…
