Cycle Tour cancelled

Elaine Ridgway (@RidgwayElaine): @TheCapeArgus @armandhough I wonder if they were upset? Armand Hough (@armandhough): @RidgwayElaine @TheCapeArgus Not at all. The lead cyclists were making jokes with officials and taking selfies. It was for their own safety. Elaine Ridgway (@RidgwayElaine): @armandhough @TheCapeArgus Oh thanks! That’s great! GoBike Hermanus (@gobikehermanus): Definitely not a good start to the week. Cape Town Cycle Tour (@CTCycleTour): @TheCapeArgus thanks for the support! Our hearts are sad, but #CTSafetyFirst tradinglikeafox (@tradinglikeafox): Marshall says wind is not the factor – it’s protests and fire that are the real reason for #CapeTownCycleTour cancellation. Mandisa Fatyela (@mandisa_f): @TheCapeArgus @CTCycleTour @IOL that’s why it’s called the Cape of Storms! Jermaine Craig (@JermaineCraig07): This footage is incredible... HUGE decision to cancel 40th @CTCycleTour, but clearly the right one. @TheCapeArgus Hanyani Makumbani (@HMakumbani): This is a sad day! #CycleTour2017 Think Bike (@ThinkBikeSA): @TheCapeArgus @CTCycleTour @IOL Always always Safety First #respect Beverley Schäfer (@bevschafer): Just a sad moment but a brave and warranted call by the organisers #CycleTour2017 #ctct2017 David van den Heever (@davidvdheever): Oh gosh! All those people in Cape Town and the expense of it all, and it’s cancelled. Well, I hope the bars are stocked. Those 35 000 people are going to need lots of alcohol today @TheCapeArgus @CTCycleTour @IOL
